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.

Good course to play for cheap.
If you are looking to just get a round of golf in and don’t really care about course conditions or a bunch drunks yelling all around you. This is the course for you. Tee boxes are rough, if you hit out of a fairway, be ready to play in either dirt patches or a bunch of dandelions.
We would love to hear more about your positive experience on our course. Please contact us at (937) 866-4333 to share with us your favorite part of your experience. Thanks for golfing at Jamaica Run Golf Club!

slowly improving
This course is starting to look better. The new superintendent took over last year and the course was beginning to show signs of neglect. They have worked on the irrigation system which will help keep it looking green longer in the dry months. they have removed many dead trees, filled in some barren and damaged spots. They are working on the sand traps and they look better than the last 2 years. The fees ar pretty much the same this year as last. they have purchased some newer and more reliable carts and are trying to find more at a reasonable rate. Still friendly as ever but plan to add staff for starters and monitor the condition of the returning carts for damage. Too much mischief last year left many damaged w/o accountability. The staff is monitoring cart and course usage to try and cut down on abuse so it will stay in good condition all year long. Good golf course for the price.
Thank you for your kind words! The team has worked very hard to get where we are, and we appreciate golfers like you taking notice. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another round. Thanks for choosing Jamaica Run Golf Club
Could be a great Golf Course
Staff needs to manage teetime for single golfers. Combine them! Make foursome! We let 4 individuals pass through separately and r this slowed us down and we waited each time and this upset the other players. Otherwise, the rating would have been much higher.
Hi, Anthony. Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Jamaica Run Golf Club!
Enjoyable public course
Course was quite wet, but it had recently rained. Greens and tee boxes were in good condition. The course layout was fair and the greens had plenty of challenge. I enjoyed the holes on the back 9 that incorporated the large hill.
JR offers a fair conditioned reasonably priced public course outside of Dayton.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Jamaica Run Golf Club.
Good Experience
My most recent visit to this course was late in the season. Staff were very friendly, the price was good, the pace of play was good and there were good refreshments available at the turn. With it being near the end of the season, there was a lot of work being done on the golf course and that it to be expected this time of you. I had a very good
experience.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, Jim! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Jamaica Run Golf Club.
Course needs some work
I'VE PLAYED THIS COURSE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. It's
Not what it used to be. Bunkers are mostly dirt and grass and the green's have alot of dead spots of turf from disease im guessing. The course needs some attention before i will return.

Putt Putt is more fun
Fairways are mostly mud or dying grass. Bunkers are overgrown and the greens are pocketed with holes. It was so muddy we drove closer to the green than normal. The owner came and yelled at us For driving close to the green and the person I was golfing with took exception to the owner yelling at us. They yelled at each other, which was most unprofessional if the guy was the owner. This course is out in the country and they need to have someone maintain the course is needed. There are many golf courses to choose from don’t make the mistake of going there.
Bad course
I will never play this course again. No grass all weeds and mud

Worst Conditions Experienced This Year
I schedule weekly golf outings for a group of 22 golfers which plays at least 18 Dayton area courses. Jamaica Run is by far the worst conditioned course we've played this year and is now a course we will not return to until we are convinced the owner and management take being in the golf course business seriously. Our group played there on 9/1/20 and agreed not to return until unacceptable course conditions were corrected. I played there again on 9/20/20 with some different friends because one of them had purchased discount coupons he had to use or lose his money. The greens had been aerated after my 9/1 play leaving holes large enough to stick a broom handle in. Jamaica Run, you can do much better than you're doing!!
Hi, sbenson2. Thank you for taking the time to review the course. We always appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing and we hope we can get you back out here when our course is up to our usual standard.
Great people. Great course. Terrible condition.
Love these people, and love the course layout and experience. That's why I'm so disappointed it's in such poor shape currently. Not sure if COVID created a financial hardship, or if things just got away from them. Truly hoping they can find a way to bring it back into acceptable shape so it's worth the money again.
