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.

Bunker Conditions Poor

The tees, greens, fairways and rough were in good shape, but the bunkers were ragged (uncut edges and weeds) and the sand was very course...even small rocks in some. But it is an inexpensive course and wide open so you can play your foul balls. It has some great challenges.

Ok Once

I'm sure this place was nice 20yrs ago. But not anymore. Fairways & greens were fine. Rough was ankle deep with leftover clippings strewn about. So finding a ball was as close to needle in a haystack as you get.
Carts were garbage. Tee boxes poor. Signage poor if it was even there.
Fairways & greens were fine. But everything else below average. All the little things being neglected added up & turned what could be a nice course into below average.

This course was great for the price

The course itself overall was in good shape. They could have cut the rough area's a little shorter. The tee boxes could use a little bit of work but overall they are not bad. The greens where in great shape. Some of the holes are missing the signs that tell you what hole you are on and the hole lay out with yardage information. The score cards lack this info as well.

Fun Course

I really like this course. It is tough but not impossible. Nice elevation changes and reasonable challenges for the average golfer. It was really windy when we played so that did make some of the longer holes more difficult.

Great time!

Course was clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and polite. The pace for 18 holes was great. We had a foursome with carts and didn't have anyone behind or in front of us so we were able to take our time and enjoy the round.

this has some tough holes and I love the 18th hole

The course is wide open. It has great dog legs. That will test you. The par 5s are long.

Great Course

This is a hidden gem in the Dayton area. The condition of the course is great and the greens actually allow you to hit several 10+ footers. The 18th is a very fun hole to finish on.

Very dry and hard tees and greens

Greens won't hold a good shot. Wife had hard time getting her tees in the ground. We like the course and plan to try it again later this spring.

Fun course to play.

Nice course. Some of the women's tee boxes were on the fairway so don't know what was up with that!
Wide fairways and some water but enjoyed the day.

Nice Course

I drove quite a ways to get there but it was worth every mile. I paired up with a couple of gentlemen that were regulars and they were very nice and helpful. The pace did not seem slow because it was such a beautiful day and the company was good but I can see how it could be very slow. One of the regulars said "keep it quiet so everyone doesn't find out about this place" - well I blew that one because I will tell all that will listen that Jamaica Run is a great place to play!

Nice course

For the money this course is a very good value.the course for this early in the season was in very good shape. downsides the course was not easy to find as there are no signs anywhere to help you find it also.there wasn't any water or ball washers on the course which this time of year would be very useful.All in all though quick pace and a nice little course.

Great shape for the season

The leaves are changing and falling, but the staff is doing a good job keeping after the leaves. The greens roll fast and true and there is more than enough trouble to challenge your shot making ability. A few holes demand accurate driving, but most give you adequate fairway width. 4 or 5 sets of tees allow you to pick your poison.

The sand traps could use another inch or two of sand before next spring. Really good value if you shop for the cheaper tee times.

Excellent Maintenance both fairways & greens

Absolutely excellent maintenance with wide-open fairways and pristine bunkers. You could tell immediately that other golfers took pride in taking care of the course. The tee boxes were in excellent shape with hardly any broken tees on the ground. A number of water hazards with the final one at the 18th hole challenging if you've never played the course. Challenging enough course without being difficult to play.

Greens were fast with a lot of break

Played 18 holes in 3.5 hours, Fairways and greens were in excellent shape. Would be nice if the distance to fairway crossing creeks was provided on the tees. Club house snack bar was nice. Carts provided appear and operated like they are getting old.

Course has great dog legs that you have to think about club choice and ball placement.

Jamica run has several tee locations for all level of play. It is well kept, great lay out, very walkable, and very enjoyable to play.

Great deal for a great course

My son and I used Golf Now for the first time. When we got there our time was already reserved. The staff is always awesome at Jamaica Run. It hadn't been watered so the greens were tough to hit into, but they were true for putting.
Great day, great course. I'll be using Golf Now again.

Slow But Good

Played Jamaica Run on Sunday with my little brother. We usually play a round in about 3-1/2 hours and this one took almost 5. The course was very busy and the starter had mentioned that there was an outing starting at 1, so they had crammed everyone into the early slots. Onto the course, it was very nicely kept and in very good shape.

Overbooked

Could not start for 15 minutes after our tee time due to backup. Took 1 hour to play the first 2 holes (2 of us) due to a bunch of slooooow players in front. Got to the 3rd tee and after waiting 15 minutes in line decided to leave because there was still a group ahead of us who were waiting for the previous twosome to get to the green. I will not be back here.
