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.

Save your money

Haven’t played here before so gave it a shot. Not much to like about this place honestly. Golf carts are awful with very touchy brakes and bad steering with duct tape holding up the golf ball holders. Very unkept course, fairways weren’t cut and it felt like you were hitting out of the rough. Speaking of the rough, it was all different lengths. You’d be right off the fairway and your ball would be buried then a foot next to you it was normal. Greens don’t roll true and some spots are burnt up. To top it off, you can’t buy beer on Sundays either.

Just overall not a great course compared to others in the area. Especially for the price. Save your money.

Unfriendly staff

Went out for an early tee time this morning. Along with myself was two other adults and a 11 year old. Throughout the course all the tee boxes, fairways and greeens were not maintained. The layout of the course was great, however the staff was highly disappointing. Halfway through we were told by the shop manager, we were moving too slow( mind you we had a young boy with us), we were told we would have to skip two holes, or do the front 9 again. We didn’t mind whatsoever, but the way he told us was highly unprofessional.i was never aware that we were being timed as this is not a race.

I would have loved for this to be a great experience, as this is 5 minutes from my home, but because of the unprofessionalism and unfriendliness, sadly will definitely not be returning.

Thanks for the great first impression! You surely made a bad one!

If you haven't played here in awhile

Haven't played here in a few years. Was never a fan but the course was in great shape and they now have the fairways watered so even in late July fairways are in great shape. Some of the greens are chewed up but overall very happy we played here for $30.

Great Value!!

This course is a bit of a drive but I think it was well worth the money! Course was in pretty good shape other than a few spots on a green or two. Not an overly challenging course, very open fairway with plenty of grace if you miss the fairway. There are a few holes with near 90° doglegs that require some thinking and most of the par 3’s are fairly long so that’s nice. All in all, I think this is a great course for the money and would definitely play again!

P.S. My cart was fast so that’s always fun!

Nice course

Pace of play was great. No waiting until the last 3 holes. Course was in decent shape and doesn't have a lot of trouble. Some areas seemed to be burnt out for some reason and some of the greens were rough. Overall, not bad.

Getting Better this Season

This is about the 4th times I've played here since March. They fixed the dandelion problem that was there early spring and put new sand in the bunkers. The course is slightly improved each time I play, cant beat it for the price.

Layout of this course lacks imagination

The layout of this course lacks imagination. I found myself frequently hitting the same club with somewhat the same shot way too often. Greens are flat with not much break (except for #18 which had some) Other than 3 holes every hole was straight. There was a lot of clover in the fairways. We were restricted to cart path because of the rain but that didn't seem to matter to the regulars they were driving all over the place. The regular patrons of this golf course don't seem to care about the place as there were way too many divots in the fairways and ball marks on the greens.

Jamaica Run Play

Overall the course was good but it is a bit isolated. I knew nothing about the course before playing. You can see that it needs some improvement but that takes money and we know how expensive and tight budgets are. The staff was really friendly and that was enjoyable since it was the first time playing there. Enjoyed the par 3's but found the course to have a few odd holes. If you play there enjoy!

Always overbooked

If you have 5 hrs to play 18 holes

Then this course will suit you just fine. But plan on slow play. They always overbook and the staff does not care how long it takes you to play the round .As long as they get their money is their only concern. Very unfriendly staff. The course itself is nice to play with alot of challenges.

Still not good

First time back in a couple of years hoping it would be better. Greens were terrible, tees worse. Not worth the rack rate or any price near it. Better off not playing than playing here.
