About
Jamaica Run Golf Club offers one of the most challenging layouts in the Miami Valley. The difficult greens provide most of the trouble. They are small and hard to hit and on many holes they are elevated above the fairway, making it hard to play a run-up shot. The bentgrass fairways are spacious and thankfully more forgiving, but they are bordered by thick rough. Water hazards come into play on several holes. There is even one hole that crosses the meandering creek that runs through the golf course twice. The par-5 18th provides a memorable finish, requiring a tee shot past a large pond to a fairway that sits well below the pond. Finding the right club to use and a good spot to hit are nearly impossible.

Fair
Great layout. One of my favorites. The trees and creek usage makes it difficult and a challenge. Quality of the course is a little too rough but decent for the price on shot deal.
Now I remember why I stopped playing here
Right before Covid I swore off playing Jamaica due to unfriendly staff. Refusal to honor twilight rate that was blatantly posted on clubhouse door and online. I gave them another chance since my buddy booked a tee time there on 9/82023. Now I won’t be back due to course conditions. Tee boxes are trash, greens are trash, practice green trash… I can’t imagine that other golfers are thrilled with this course unless they are just choosing based on price. Sad to see this course let go considering the layout has potential to be a much better course to play.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, Chris6766070. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Jamaica Run Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
3 hours to play 9 holes. Asked for rain check so we could come back and play when not so busy. Was told no. Left after 11 holes.
No Ranger to push players to a 4 1/2 hour round. I think our cart was from 1970.
We will not be back.
We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your visit to our business. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we strive to improve our services. Thank you for sharing your concerns with us.

Rough shape
Course is in rough shape and the carts are even worse. This is a challenging course however, pace of place was very slow though sadly.
I would never pay full price to play bere but a $16 hot deal is reasonable. Don't expect much and give yourself at least 4 hours to play this course.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the condition of the course and carts, and appreciate your feedback. We will take your comments into consideration for future improvements.
I was thirsty
No beer on Sunday’s? Come on just pay the additional liquor license, you are a golf course. Also kind of of upset that they didn’t have water available. Every golf course I go to has water. Staff was super nice and course was pretty good. Just missing water and beer on Sundays .
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our policy of not serving beer on Sundays. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future improvements. Thank you for your kind words about our staff and course.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, u314161777489. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed during your round. Thanks for choosing Jamaica Run Golf Club!
Only if you can’t play anywhere else
Not worth the money. Not a good course at all. Most of the players are rude and do not respect the pace of play and the course needs a lot of work. I wouldn’t play here again. Especially since it’s $45.00
We're sorry to hear that you didn't find our course worth the money and that you had a negative experience with other players. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and providing us with feedback.
Terrible course, over grown. Terrible greens, terrible fairways. Better bring a bag of balls.
We're sorry to hear about your experience with our course. We appreciate your feedback and will take your comments into consideration to improve our greens and fairways. Thank you for taking the time to review our business.

The course is in extremely poor condition
Multiple tee boxes are placed away from the elevated spot where they should be, some fairways have been left overgrown and as a result when it is cut leaves trimmings everywhere, some bunkers are mildly overgrown, and the greens are in poor condition.
We apologize for the issues you experienced during your visit. Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention, and we will address them as soon as possible. Your feedback is important to us as we strive to provide the best possible experience for our customers.
I only play here if I get a deal
Worst carts in the area. Pace of play is usually great because there's not many people there. Clubhouse is in horrible shape. Course is in average shape. I only play when I get a deal during the week. No way I'd pay $45 to play on the weekend. I'd rather pay $50-60 and actually play a nice course in the area.
We appreciate your feedback about our carts and the condition of our clubhouse and course. We apologize if your experience wasn't up to your expectations. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Jamaica Run Review
Despite the Weather our Group was able to complete the Round.
Staff were kind and helpful.

We hope to see you again soon!
Better Than Last Time
Course conditions B- better than last time I rated it D. That was a year ago. The rain helped the greens. Course needs some work — Tee Boxes, some of the greens. Some of the Bent grass is like hitting off of concrete. Some of the Staff has attitude issues (not my fault you choose to work there). One of the employees complained about not cleaning the golf cart out. It was two pieces of trash. If you are complaining about that and it’s your job to clean the golf carts out, then get a new job.

Better Than Last Time
Better course conditions than the last time I played which was a year ago. Tee boxes need a lot of work. Greens were slightly better than last year. C+ course conditions

Staff had a real attitude
Desk manager and range master had really bad attitudes. As we were walking into the clubhouse the manager was complaining about our groups start time and didn’t stop until he realized it was us he was talking about. The greens are in nice shape but the carts are in desperate need of repair/ replacement. Also the some of the staff should consider being a little more discreet when talking badly about guests.
