Potter's Park Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The City of Hamilton offers two municipal courses, the championship Twin Run Golf Course and the regulation-length Potters Golf Course. They both provide some of the most affordable rounds in the area. Although Potters is the easier of the two courses, it's still a fun layout that has become a favorite with locals. It's ideal for beginners but also great for a quick round no matter what skill level. The back nine plays especially fast. The holes are mostly straightforward with a few strategically placed bunkers and subtle elevation changes to contend with. Potters Golf Course may not be the most challenging round you've ever played but the casual atmosphere and fun layout shouldn't be overlooked. It's also conveniently located less than an hour from both Cincinnati and Dayton.

Great Shape
Golf course was in pretty good shape for how small the greens are. Will come back.
Fun and Unique Golf Course
There is no other golf course like this. The course is a Par 69 (which they sell Par 69 hats in the pro shop) with the back 9 being a par 33. The back nine is nothing but very short par 4's and par 3's which can create some slow play issues because each hole is basically drive-able. The par 3's on this course are brutally difficult. Staff was friendly and the cheeseburgers were incredible! We will definitely be back!
Fast Greens
Course was in good shape, Greens were fast. 45 dollars is a little steep for this course. Should be 35 at the most. It's an enjoyable course to play.
Awful staff
Be prepared to be hit numerous times. We were hit 3 times on the front 9 and decided we had enough. Asked for a refund/rain check which they wouldn’t give for the back 9. Pretty rude staff and definitely would never play there again
Great Course. Walkers on the path during play.
There was an elderly woman taking a walk on the cart path while we were playing. Walked right in front of the tee box while we were teeing off. She didn't look around at all. She had the aditude like she belonged there. We were paying customers waiting for this woman to take a weekend stroll. Im not sure if the management knew she was there. It was a very dangerous situation.
Excellent day, great venue!
An iconic Hamilton landmark, with a great golfing day. Played 18 in less than 3 hrs on a Friday afternoon. Course in great shape with the summer we've had. Only issue being the course pro shop attendant being extremely slooow.
Nice golfing place
Been golfing here for yrs finally got a hole One on 11 hole it my second place ,best twin run little better!
Great Vibe, Excellent time overall
This place was really cool. It’s got a very old school feel in the clubhouse. Everything is very well maintained.
As for the actual golf, course was also in excellent shape, the greens weren’t full of pitch marks like so many these days. They really take pride in this place and it shows. The holes were short but not straightforward with how attack. Had to actually use your brain from the tips on how to position vs just hitting as far as possible like you do at most courses around here. Took a lot of 4/5 irons and 7 woods off the tee on the par 4/5’s which is not something me or my playing partners often do. Front 9 was one of my favorite 9’s in the area.
Back 9 left a lot to be desired, it was almost like they ran out of space. As someone who fights a pull, I felt the layout had other people in legitimate danger. I took some very overly safe lines because of this and it really hurt my score and ability to attack these holes. I think the back would be a lot more fun on a less busy day, but I was just hoping it would end by hole 15.
Pace was very “relaxed”. No marshall that I saw to keep the groups moving so it ended up being close to a 5 hour round. I kind of expect that on weekends these days but with the shorter length of the course it felt excessive. With the previously mentioned pull it got even more unnerving to be hitting with people in my danger zone after I’ve been getting cold for 15 minutes on the tee box.
Overall, I loved the course and vibe. I would really enjoy an early morning tee time where I can set the pace and not be hitting with crowds so close to the fairways. Will definitely return, but will opt for the 7am tee time instead of the 9 am.
Golf courses don't give rainchecks on perfectly sunny days, regardless of whether or not other golfers yell "fore" on errant shots.
