Potter's Park Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The City of Hamilton offers two municipal courses, the championship Twin Run Golf Course and the regulation-length Potters Golf Course. They both provide some of the most affordable rounds in the area. Although Potters is the easier of the two courses, it's still a fun layout that has become a favorite with locals. It's ideal for beginners but also great for a quick round no matter what skill level. The back nine plays especially fast. The holes are mostly straightforward with a few strategically placed bunkers and subtle elevation changes to contend with. Potters Golf Course may not be the most challenging round you've ever played but the casual atmosphere and fun layout shouldn't be overlooked. It's also conveniently located less than an hour from both Cincinnati and Dayton.

Even after the rain. Still in good shape.
First time at this course today. Even with all the rain over the last few days, the greens and fairways were fairly dry. This is a shorter course which makes shot selection very challenging off the tee. You'll work to consistently get full shop opportunities here. Lots of irons off the tees.
Plays longer than the yardage
Wet conditions and very thick ruff made the course a lot more challenging then how the score card read. Quite a few easy holes combined with a few tough holes kept the round interesting and fun.
Booking and customer satisfaction is horrible
Booked a tee time on 5/12/2020 to play on 5/13/2029 for a round of 18 holes. Show up to play and of course don’t have reservation on file secondly they say we can play 9 and would re-evaluate if we could finish the round. Play the front nine in 1 hour 20 minutes at the turn try to pay the additional 5 dollars as promised on the turn of the 9 and of course was denied. I had opportunity to book a different course but due to this course being 5 minutes from home and 13.00 cheaper around I elected to go with this course. However I feel like no one cared if we played or not. Not to mention 9 holes with a cart we were only charged 5 dollars less than a full round. If you want to play this course do it with a contingency plan. Second time playing and will never be back. First time we were behind slow players and they wouldn’t let us around and the staff stopped us 3 holes from finish. Will not recommend this course to anyone. Play Walden Pond or Green crest. Any where but here. These people could care less if you played here. In fact exact words were they were always booked. Save your money not worth the hassle
Improved with new owners
Butler Co. Park Conservancy took over from City of Hamilton and in a couple short months they have vastly improved the conditions, cutting out overgrowth, improving fairways and greens. A fun experience.
The cup
The cup on the greens were not deep enough. The cup were set almost flush with the greens making it unofficially impossible to whole from a distance.
Chris
I like the course. It is short and allows me to practice the short games needed.
Bad course management
They don't go by tee times will let walk ins around you even if you have a tee time when you are making the turn. Played nine made the turn and eight to ten groups waiting to tee off. Potters wont give a rain checks to play another day because they believe you can wait for a hour in between each nine. The staff is very incompetent on managing pace of play. Been playing since 1992 at Potter's Park and today was my last day.
The course is in terrible condition faireways , tee boxes not maintained . Greens however were in great shape . Clubhouse staff was not friendly . I would not play here again .
SAD COURSE
THAT IS THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN THIS COURSE. TRIED TO PUT A TEE IN THE GROUND AND BROKE IT. WAS NO FAIRWAY. HARD AND HARDLY ANY GRASS.
Rough at the End of the Season
The course was beat up, specifically the tee boxes and greens, hole #8 looked like someone had taken a shovel to the center of the green, Fairways were not existent and uncut, wasn't impressed with the course
Great Greens, fairways need work
Everything around the greens was great. But the fairways were pretty patchy
Potters Park
An older course with charm! Needs some water in places but other than that, a real gem! Great Value and great for beginners to learn on as there are only par 3’s and 4’s on back 9. We really enjoyed Potters park and will play here again! Staff was friendly and amenities were great!
Great smaller course to challenge your iron game
Have played here many times this year. Greens are in great shape. Toughest hole anywhere around #9 220 yards up hill par 3. Last couple of times we have gone out early and played 18 in 2.5 hours.
Novice
We picked a perfect day to play. It wasn't very crowded, and the weather was fantastic. The course was dry, so you got a lot of bounce out of your shots. It was well irrigated around the greens. We finished in about 3 hours.
