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 Value, Good Condition
Played a casual round 2-days after significant rain. Course drains well and was in superb shape for the beginning of April. Great value for $ if booking on line. Pleasantly surprised with overall experience.
Good course and good people
I have played this course many times over the years. It has improved greatly and has become a pleasure to play. The fairways and greens are in good condition and players of all levels will find challenges. In addition, the food service is very good. I recommend the cheeseburger and fries. They are great.
No Longer A Customer
In past summer seasons, Jamaica Run was my go-to golf course and I honestly never played anywhere else. Starting in the summer of 2016, I no longer attended Jamaica for a single reason: cost.
Jamaica was historically the value golf course for myself, family, and friends but due to the steep increase in price upon my return to golf in the warm seasons of 2016, I will no longer be a customer.
Now if Jamaica returned to reasonable prices for the course and its upkeep, then I will return. In the meantime, I will be playing at other courses such as Shaker Run.
Great value.
It was Autumn so the golf season had slowed down considerably so pace was fast. Tee boxes moved way up for maintenance. This made course easier and not any lost balls.
Fun Course
The course was not in best of shape, but was fun to play
Hey "cantonpf" we apologize that the course conditions were not up to your standards, however, we are glad you had a fun time out there!
Like the course.
Course was in good shape and enjoyed my round.
Course is great shape for the end if summer.
Fairways and greens are the best in the area. Even the rough was mowed. Tee boxes needs some attention...!!!
Hey "u000001537768" thank you for the positive review! Come see us again soon.
Great deal
Staff friendly. Course challenging.
Hey "u511193693" Thank you for coming out to play, we hope to see you soon!
Good course to practice your game
Course is not overly difficult. Great layout to practice your game.
Hey "ekakmiller" thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback! We are glad that you enjoy the layout and hope to see you again soon!
Not worth it
The course is ill maintained for the money. The amenities are dated. I would not recommend this course.
Hey "jrmcwilli" we apologize that you did not enjoy your time out on the course. If you could, please send us an email to jamaicarungc@gmail.com with more details about your visit.
Stressed out.
Several tee boxes were severely distressed and some barren. Fairways and greens were inconsistent. Weather conditions excrssove heat/rain may have exasperated course conditions and maintenance. Played on a late Sunday afternoon and had course mostly to my self.
Hey "bsk1023" we sincerly apologize that the course conditions were not up to your standards. However, we are glad that you had the course to yourself and were able to get a quick round on a Sunday!
Some very challenging holes
Very nice course especially for the price
Hey "mgmkpd" thank you for the positive review!
Affordable yet Classy
I have played this course more times than I can count. I always been someone who was interested in trying new things and knew places to swing the sticks. I have always come back to Jamaica Run. The course plays fairly moderate in difficulty however at this price you will walk on the first tee and off of the last green while sporting the same smile.
Hey "kjmmcdermott" we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review! We are glad to hear that you enjoy yourself on the course and continue to come back!
Family Outinsg
Make sure you don't pay full price...various maintenance issues. Tee boxes, course buildings and some of the greens were rough. The pace was slow and had some folks get impatient...got hit into a couple of times. Staff was friendly, but course was average.
Hey "u511382931" we apologize that you had some issues with pace of play. We do appreciate the kind words about our staff and hope to see you soon!
Pretty ggod
Overall we had a good time greens a little rough and fairways in descent shape.definitely a long course and very challenging for the average golfer.
Hey "hzvv9p" thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback! Although you found the course challenging we hope you still had a great time out there! Come see us soon.
Great Overall Course
Course was in great shape for midsummer, staff was friendly enough and pace was very good with a ranger dispersing groups. Definitely some fun holes that make you think and use every club in your bag
Hey "Jason5772199" thank you for the kind words about our course and staff! We appreciate you coming out and hope to see you again soon!
Rainy day fun
Had a good time besides the rain on and off through out the day
Hey "u000007025308" glad that you enjoyed your time out on the course despite the rain! We hope to see you again soon.
home course
this course is close to my house and a good deal if you're looking for a good round at a good course. it has its days where the 2nd cut is hairy and the fairways aren't always top notch but its a challenging and beautiful course, the greens are reasonable. I will continue coming out.
Hey "u696976994" thank you so much for the 5* review! We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon!
This is a really fun course to play
My son and I had a great time at this course. I had read some previous reviews and was a little skeptical. I was pleasantly surprised to find this is a great course and in excellent condition. The fairways and greens were fine. I recommend this course and I will play it again.

Fun but flat
Not a whole lot of imagination is needed to play this course. WYSIWYG for most of the course. Pay attention to the dogleg par 5s to ensure your landing area.
The greens were in very good shape. Most of the greens are table tops making them smaller than they appear from the fairway/tee.
Possibly the flatest course I've every played. They didn't move much dirt to make this course except to build the table top green.
Overall a very good value if in good shape.
