Pebble Creek Golf Course offers beauty and tests on an 18-hole championship golf course, as well as a full-service pro shop and sports bar and restaurant, making it as much of a draw for golfers as it is for diners. The ridges and valleys of the Colerain Township provide the home for the golf course's bentgrass tees, fairways and greens protected by white-sand bunkers. There are seven water hazards to test golfers who like to balance risk with reward, and course management is the name of the game for golfers with low handicaps: This golf course requires every trick - as well as every club - in the bag.

The 16th hole on the Pebble Creek Golf Course, for one example, is a 135-175-yard par-3 that will test golfers' abilities with its island green; still, this is a golf course that will accommodate all levels of golfers. Forward tees and giving drop areas from the island green and two canyon holes offer a bit of reprieve for golfers with high handicaps.

After your round of golf, check out Prechtels Pub at the Pebble Creek Golf Course for nightly fireside dining and numerous television sets to keep you up on whatever other sports you like.

Perfect setting and a good challenge

The course was in great shape and plays very challenging. The majority of the holes play favor for right-handers, but the tight fairways and dense rough makes it a challenge for everyone. Looking forward to a second change at this one.

Nice course.

This course is usually fun to play. We were over 5 hours into the round with 3 holes to play when we decided we had had enough and left. There was an outing that started 15 minutes before us and we waited at every hole after number 1. The group was doing a scramble and I have no idea what the hold up was. I talked to different rangers and they said they would check into it, but the pace of play seemed to slow more on every hole.

excrutiating round

Course was in decent shape though I absolutely hated the layout of this course. I would describe it as a putt putt golf course on steroids, very gimmicky. I knew when we pulled up and there were 10+ carts waiting on the first tee we were in for a long day and I was right. We were at 5.5 hrs on the 17th hole with two groups waiting at the tee when we decided to quit and call it a day. I was visiting my brother for memorial day weekend so we wanted to try a new course together, I'm sorry I chose this one.

Fun & Unique Course

I was very surprised to find this unique course. This is not a course to pull out your driver and bomb away. Target golf at its finest. I enjoyed the hilly terrain and views. The course was in great shape and the greens were fast.

Best public greens in the city

Pebble creek is one of the best public courses I play in the city. The greens are fast and roll true. It's a fairly short course so long hitters should definitely hit from the tips. Even though it's short most holes require strategic ball placement off the tee. The only negative thing I noticed this last time out was that some of the tee boxes were in rough shape. Not a big deal but something for them to work on the future. If you haven't played pebble creek you should definitely give it a try. The greens will keep you coming back!

Not bad

It's a cool course. Lots of elevation change. Greens are in good shape burnt no means immaculate. Rest of the course in similar condition with the bunkers being a huge exception. Never raked and tend to often times have standing water. Lots of old people play here and it definitely slows down the pace of play. I'll only play here if it's less than $30. Great outing course, good for scoring from the white tees.

Value for the $

Not usually a course I play because I normally enjoy walking. Can't do that at Pebble Creek but the value was too good to miss.

great course

Pebble creek is one of my favorites in Cincinnati area. It is a difficult course but is rewarding if you play smart golf. Course is always in great shape and 18 holes on the weekend is very affordable. I highly recommend this course

Pick Your Shot !

As a long hitter this course really is a challenge. Its more of a target shot course as hitting it long can get you into a lot of trouble. Holes are tight and greens were very fast.

A great surprise

Once we got over the shock of how hilly it is, we really started liking this course. It's really scenic and offers some challenges, but isn't so hard that it's not fun to play. What really put this course over the top for us was how incredibly friendly the staff is. We'll be back.
We stayed afterwards for dinner. Food was very good - much better than the typical golf course restaurant.

This is really a nice course

This is really a nice course. The greens were clean and fast. It's my second time playing here and both times were really nice. The boys wanted to play somewhere different and I chose Pebble Creek. They totally enjoyed it. Not a very long course, but has its challenges.

Greens

The greens were in good shape. Give it a few weeks and they will be in great shape. True and fast. Course set up is perfect combination of short and long holes. no back to back 5's or 3's.

I wish I lived closer!

I was in the area for work and had enough time for 9 holes. The weather was cold, wet, and windy but Pebble Creek did not disappoint.

This course is now on my top 3 favorites list. The layout, the sculpting of the holes and landscape, and the varying elevations made this such a unique course.
If I lived closer, I would be here weekly.

The only qualm I ran in to was the staff. Slightly standoffish and seemed uninterested in speaking with golfers in their 20's/early 30's.

Odd golf course

The pace of play was incredible slow. Idk if it was just because I was the first nice day or what. The course is extremely short. Most holes were drivable except for. Couple. There we some nice looking holes. I would only play again if I could get the 15 dollar 18 hole and cart deal again.

Need for accuracy, variety of shots distace and angle

Very much enjoyed the opportunity and challenge of variety of landscape. You may play different shots anywhere but here there is penalty of being off. So bring your good game. Hills, distance, and water add to the beauty of the course and fear.

Great afternoon on the course. If you can get a deal under $25 then do it. Be prepared to deal with some significant water hazards.
