Jamaica Run Golf Club

My wife and I played Saturday morning at 8am. It was chilly and windy, with the 13th hole adding SLEET to the experience.

Neither of us plays for anything but fun, and we had plenty of fun. While the course wasn't empty, it certainly wasn't packed either. We've been there a few times and never had to wait so long as to be a problem.

Definitely challenging for golfers like us, but it's a GAME. Go have fun at it and quit worrying about how long it takes!

We'll be back.

The course is relatively short and flat. The greens were very bumpy at a reasonable speed. The tees had weeds and was generally beat up, especially the par threes. The fairways had damage areas, some were roped off, some were not. The exception was 18, a par five over a pond to a blind fairway.

Very nice course, fairways and greens were in above average condition, course layout was good, Par 5's were challenging with dog legs on 4 of them making you use irons off the tee boxes. Would definitely go back and play again.

Have played hear several times a year ever since it open. Fairways and greens were in good shape. The club house and other parts are a little tried and old, but still fun to play.

Liked this course!!! has some good holes, will go back and play

It took 4 hrs to play 9 holes, we left at turn because slow people turned too. Was totally disgusted by time with left from lack of movement on the course would recommend anybody golf here ! Never saw anybody try to speed up the play!

Jamaica Run is an interesting place. As others have said, the pace is very slow. About half of the holes are very very easy (just straight par 4's) and the other half are pretty tough (200 yards to carry a creek then a 90 degree dogleg for another 250 yards). Overall it is a fine place to play, but I will probably not be back as there are better course for the same price.

Good Saturday morning rates....course in really good shape.
not the best bunkers to hit out of..greens in good shape.and course has character, more so on the back nine

Had a great round. The course is in good condition and reasonably priced. Unfortunately they don't serve beer on Sunday and we didn't know this. You can bring your own so that would have been great and a big plus.

We enjoyed the course. We would play it again. We also liked the challenge of hole #18.

Nice course, great pricing, but be ready for the worlds slowest round.

The staff should have monitored the pace of play and conduct on the course closer. Ino one was able to play thru . 4 domes aying slow had entire course jammed up 4.5 hours for two some way to long. may play there again but would not be my first choice .

It can be tricky for first timers but we play here a lot. Only issues I've seen is pace of play there but there was zero issue with it today. They have been known to pack them in and then it is no fun. It was in good shape and fairways were perfect. Greens were fair and had some heavy use from weekend but everyone does. I've always enjoyed Jamaica Run. My wife would like to see them build real tee-boxes on the forward tees as they now have them in the fairway.

I played 18 on Sunday and enjoyed the round. Course is challenging but not to difficult. Greens were in nice shape and well watered. I will go back to play again as the price was only $17, but I would suggest putting a map on the scorecard and fixing the tee signs. Sometimes I wasn't sure where to go and a course layout is always helpful. The tee signs and water boxes could use some fresh paint. Also, the 18th hole is a blind shot and a distance to landing areas would be very helpful. Grounds crew does an excellent job!

Course was fine. Only suggestions would be: keep tee boxes in better shape and mow the first and second cut of rough more. The first cut was easily 3-4" long. Overall I had a good time playing this course. Staff very friendly.

Staff was friendly, courteous and helpful. Course held up well despite heavy shower. Interesting layout but not overly challenging with some severe doglegs and a few forced carries or layups. Good condition typical of spring, but rough was not severe. Be sure to look for big balls teed up on brick pillars at gate; it's easy to drive by.

Dayton area gem. Friendly staff and well kept course. Only negative was people not repairing divots !

It is a very good course and I have enjoyed playing it. Only problem is that they pack in the tee times so that the pace of play is excruciatingly slow.

Jamaica Run is a great golf experience for the money. The course conditions have always been up to par when I've played and the staff in the clubhouse are always friendly. Will be back soon.

I played high school golf here for four years and had the same opinion of this place: awful. It's been a few years so I wanted to go out and give it another try. The place was even more run down! Even though I was now a paying customer, the staff was just as rude and no one does their job. At one point, there were 7 groups on two holes. The rangers are useless and the clientele is not exemplary. Avoid this place at all costs!
