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.

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.
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.

Very nice course, Excellent value
This was my first time playing this course but it will not be my last. 7:37 am tee time and actually got off a little before. Was paired with 2 nice guys who had never played the course either. Some challenging tee shots that will reward you if you hit it big and take a chance. Greens were rolling smooth and true, fairways were nice, and rough was reasonable, not too punishing but you knew you were there. 18th hole is an odd one with a blind tee shot, with no prior knowledge of course, 2 of us drove it through the fairway. Will play this course again.

Pace of play
Somewhat disappointed that Rangers weren't available to assist the slower golfers speed up. We had to wait on every shot and we were a twosome and there were 3. The bunkers were in terrible shape.
JerryD18,

Nice course, great value, bad pace
I have played this course many times over the years. It's in good shape and the value is awesome. The front 9 is a little quirky having 3 each of par 3, 4, 5, but I didn't mind it. The only issue with this course is the pace of play always seems slow. Outside of that, it's a good track for thd money.

My home course
I play here at least three times a week weather permitting. The staff are always friendly, would like to see the cart girls on the course more often. I sometimes run out of beer or ice before 18 holes is over. For the price this is an excellent course with some unique holes. Thank you for the drop area on hole 6. That seemed to be a bottle neck for pace of play. The after 6PM special is great. My wife and I and another couple come out several times on weekdays and a co- worker and I play every Saturday or Sunday. Keep up the good work. Would like for you to post outings on your web page so that we can come and support some of the community and school outings. Again thanks for a great experience. KH

Good value and experience
The LMG price made it worth the drive. Course was in good shape. Greens were rolling pretty fast but true. Didn't have to wait on any tee box.

An embarrassment!
A few years ago I said I would never spend another dollar at this course again. I was so appalled by the course conditions and the rudeness of the rangers, that I emailed the course. Well I golfed there again this week (because it was free for me) and nothing has changed. Huge clumps of dead grass littered the entire course to the point that it was difficult to distinguish my ball amongst the dead grass piles. Even clumps of dead grass on the greens. The rangers act as if they work at a country club yet the course conditions are appalling. It's shameful and an embarrassment to the sport. I can guarantee with 100% certainty that I will never spend another dollar here unless the course happens to come under new ownership. I would post pictures if I could. It's laughable.
u000004273874,

Nice course for all types of golfers.
Course is not a country club but is out in the country. The usual weeds around but the fairways and greens were nice today. The last hole they needed to mow the hill on the other side of pond. Always hardest place to find your ball with all the dandelions. Tough to reach fairway for average golfers from the white tees.
u211693343,
Thank you for your feedback, we will use it to our advantage! We hope you come back and play again soon.

course challenges
course was very nice for this time of year. our favorite hole is #18, a blind shot over a lake, then over a creek to the green.
Hi "sutterkj" Thank you so much for the excellent review, we are so glad you enjoyed our challenging 18th hole!
Average course - great staff
Average course with old facilities. Staff was very friendly. Pace of play was slow as the foursome in front of us was holding up the entire course. If you are in the area it might be worth stopping by but I wouldn't go out of my way to play here.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and write a review on the course. We want to apologize for the slow play you experienced and hope you can reach out to us at jamaicarungc@gmail.com to discuss your experience further.
Great value
Great value for the money! Will come again. The only thing it needs is a 100yd marker.
Thanks for your great review Jonathan! Can't wait to have you back at the course!
One and done
First and last visit to this pasture. Unmowed tees, bare fairways, untended bunkers, very slow pace of play, yardages don't match scorecard, carts in poor condition.
We appreciate your review Gchris8151, and we would love it you could reach out to us at jamaicarungc@gmail.com to discuss your round further. We are always working to improve conditions and the golfer experience!
Great afternoon

We are glad to hear your enjoyed your round Jeorge4936270! The staff is very appreciative of your kind words, and we hope to see you out again soon!
