About

Type Public
Par 72
Length 6587 yards
Slope 128
Rating 70.8

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.

Great course!

Jamaica Run is a great course and our three-some had fun for a 7:30 AM Saturday tee-time. The course was in fine shape, staff very friendly, and a moderate challenging course. I would recommend playing this course!!

Fairways in great shape.

Ladies tee boxes leave a lot to be desired. Greens could use some help. Fairways and bunkers (actually had sand!!) were in great shape.

Front 9 fantastic pace of play. Back nine was terrible, saw a ranger once come from behind. We told him the two groups in front of the group ahead of us had two open holes ahead. He was too busy looking for lost balls to keep, actually turned around and went back the way he came.

All in all, will go back. Great value for the money.

very well mantained.The best cource i have played.

Very organized. Beautiful landscape, challanging course. You need to know and follow all rules for the corse as they will not tolerate any thing less. I understand why because it is the most well maintained golf course in the area.Will look into becoming a member as i am very impressed with overall course.

Greens were very firm. It was hard to hold an pop roach shot on the greens.

The cart paths are rough and in need of attention.

Nice layout with several challenging holes

This is a rural course with minimal facilities. The greens were too firm but putted smooth and true. The fairways and rough were in very good shape. The tees were a little chewed up, but very playable. The course is a good value for the price. The place of play was a little slow and the ranger was trying to keep players moving.

Decent course, great price, slow players

This course was in nice condition and the price was great. The staff were very friendly especially one of the marshals. However, two groups ahead were some of the slowest I have ever seen. Spending 5-10 minutes looking for balls in a creek with waiting groups is preposterous, We were also paired with a twosome that just flat out did not want to play with us. That also slows things up. Do not play golf if you don't want public interaction. The course was nice besides some really dumb holes like 10 and 18. I would consider playing again.

Won't play again.

Pace of play was extremely slow! We waited way too long on every shot. Rangers were unhelpful. Course was OK but we will not return. Should have listened to the other reviews about being so slow - after almost 6 hours on the course I wish I had.

Carts were awful. Course was surprisingly in great shape. Won't go again for awhile after experience with a dog and Rangers' reaction.

Rangers laughed as a dog ran off with our chip shots on 18. It wasnt funny. Wont go back until they get rid of dogs on the course.

Unbelievably friendly atmosphere for a fun, relaxing round.

Considering the dry spell over the recent month, the course was in good shape. The greens were great. The only sign of rough wear and tear was on the tee boxes.

Nice Country Course

I always enjoy playing here, especially for the $11 price tag! Knowledgeable and courteous golfers let me (playing as a single) play through and course is always in good shape.
