Jamaica Run Golf Club

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.

Don’t play here
This course is a concrete jungle. They don’t water the course at all. This place has potential but unfortunately is trash. Only course I have played that doesnt have sprinklers. No im not kidding. Super rock hard ground and greens are hard as a rock. Good luck if you play here is all I have to say. Please greenskeeper read this review and do better. This really isn’t a course to play with the course conditions.
Good course for the money
Had a good time playing 18 holed. Some of the greens were worn out but hey it's summer time. Will be back in the future
Cost ???
Even with the golf now discount this course was a huge disappointment. My cart barely ran, the rough was over grown, traps were horrible, tee boxes hard as a rock, and greens in bad shape. I work for another course and when I told them I played here they said the same thing
Not worth the price
Would never play here again! Course looks like it hasn't been kept up in years. The tee boxes were muddy and chunky and the greens were just as bad.

Disappointed
Pro shop has barely anything to sell
Attendant was not friendly or informative
Golf course is burned out. Somewhat understandable given the lack of rain but they need to water.
Big clubhouse but concessions are outside under a tent. Very few items to eat and no condiments.
Jamaica Run
The course layout is pretty straightforward but still manages to kick my butt every time. We got stuck behind a slow group in front of us that wouldn't let us play through, so it would have been nice had there been a few rangers out there to maintain pace of play. Also would be nice if they had better snacks and food for the turn, but still always really enjoy playing here!
Don’t waste your time
The greens are trash, fairways are meh… not worth the time playing here
Solid course
Staff was great. Read many reviews saying staff was rude and I didn't not experience that personally. Course was decent for how dry it has been lately. Good amount of dead grass though.
Sub par attitudes and over priced
Upon arrival the staff seemed very inconvenienced that I needed to add a golfer (and there was an opening in our group). Checking in at the first tee was rushed and were told to just go ahead of the group in front of us to not slow down play.
After finishing the round I was loading my clubs in my car when I was approached by the group we were told to skip and they informed us the “ranger” asked them why I’d bring my wife out on a Saturday morning, we were just going to slow the course down and inconvenience everyone…
I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone, paying over $40 just to putt on BROWN greens and tee boxes that were tore up worse than a battlefield that was just bombed.
Greens
Greens weren't as good as they use to be. And golf cart needed brake fixed and they didn't let me switch out before round,and it was bothersome all day. Some cart paths needed serious repairs, but fairways were great.
Not worth it anymore
I’ve played this course several times but I don’t think I will ever go back. We teed off 20 minutes late and took almost 3 hours to complete 9 holes on a Sunday at 10am. A foursome 3 groups ahead was incredibly slow. On several holes, there were 3 foursome waiting to play. Nothing was done to speed them up or have groups play through by the ranger. Course was in bad shape, greens were super slow. We skipped to holes to finish in 5 hours. Really bad experience.
