Rating 69.5

Green Crest Golf Club is a player-friendly course located in Middletown. The course was designed in 1972, offering a traditional layout with wide, forgiving fairways and short roughs. The golf course is on the shorter side at 6,271 yards from the back tees, which is indicative of the time it was designed. Strategically placed bunkers lurk along the medium-sized greens on six holes and there are water hazards coming into play on eight holes, but the challenges are straightforward and don't present too much trouble for high handicappers. It might not be the golf course you're looking for if you want a truly formidable test, but it's a good option if you're looking for a quick and affordable round. Green Crest Golf Club is ideal for beginners and even gentle enough for juniors.

So Impressed

What a great course. Was greeted with the most pleasant person I've ever met at a golf course. The course itself was very well maintained and has very nice, wide fairways that are quite forgiving. The greens were a bit soft and slow, with some tricky hole positions. It's a perfect course for Intermediate or less.

Muni course, what else is there to expect?

Green crest is a very tight municipal course. It’s not run by the city, we’re playing their feels like I’m playing on a municipal course. Fairways are narrow. Trees line each hole up and down both sides. Greens are challenging. Never a consistent speed. A few challenging holes with water that come in to play. Overall, for the money that I spent, well worth the trip. I would play here again. Not a grip it and rip it course. Needs a little more finesse than I gave it.

Cut the grass

They desperately need to cut their grass the fairways are long and the rough is terrible. If you are not in fairway count the ball gone. For the price they should be able to cut the grass. There tees times are close together. It took 5.5 hours to play 18 waiting at every hole.

Great condition but slow greens

We had a nice time and the course was in great condition, very green and lush. Unfortunately the greens felt very slow which made putting somewhat frustrating. We had a great time though, and the staff was professional and ensured a good pace of play.

Underwhelmed

I’m no pro golfer but I’ve played enough to know that you get what you pay for. Unfortunately in this particular case the cost for course didn’t match up. $40 isn’t a terrible price but what drew the line for our group was the pace of play and the condition of the course. There were points where we were three groups back on a tee box and it took us almost 7 hours to play 18 holes. I know it’s a beautiful Saturday and courses get busy but I could have walked to the clubhouse grabbed lunch, talked to every member about how I sliced my last ball better than donatos pizza and probably go and said hi to my mother before even getting a chance to tee off. Ok that’s a little extreme but to wrap this up , the bottom line was the pace was a lot worse than other courses I’ve been to as well as the condition and the other courses were cheaper. Just not the way I wanted to spend my Saturday golfing

Wouldn’t go back due to pace of play

I’ve played this course multiple times. I have the same opinion every time. Course is in good shape, they charge a bit too much in my opinion, and they don’t have anyone monitoring pace of play. I’ve never seen any rangers or anyone from the course outside of the club house. On top of that they book tee times far too close together. I played yesterday. Tee time was at 2:30, they had us all tee off on 10(there was not a person on the first tee), and I didn’t tee off until 3:00. By the time 7:00 rolled around, we were so stacked up, I called it quits on hole 3. It took 4 hours to play 12 holes. I would not recommend this course, ESPECIALLY during high traffic times on weekends.

good but pricey

Course is fair for beginners who don't really know the difference or what its like to play on a better course. A bit pricey for 9 or 18 holes. Hard to distinguish the difference between the fairway and rough. The fairway needs to be cut lower but probably can't be because they don't have the right type of grass there. The 10th hole is somewhat of an unfair dogleg left / basically a 90 degree turn. Greens are in good shape for a public course. The only thing that would stop me from playing again is the price, which I think was $34/person with a cart. Even then I might consider it.

Needs some maintenance

The grass is overgrown making it almost impossible to find a ball if you don't hit the fairway. The grass that was cut is just laying on the ground making your second shot difficult .

Friendly staff.

Great course for walking. Pace of play was slow to start but smoothed out. Walking 9 in a group of 4 on a Monday evening took about 2.5 hours. Cashier, starter and ranger were all friendly and I was paired up with a great group. Will definitely return!

Very slow pace

The course had really thick rough and the fairways weren't as well kept as you could hope for. The greens were in fantastic shape. I played solo and my round was 5 hours long. You will be sitting behind the team in front of you the whole playing time so make sure to either bring a companion to talk to or get to know the people ahead.

A great course with horrible crowding issues.

I have played Green Crest a number of times and have always enjoyed the setup and maintenance of the course and the extremely friendly staff. Great people at this course and one of my favorites in Cincinnati on a good day. That being said, I will not return here on the weekend in the future unless I have an opportunity to play early in the morning. The pace of play here spirals out of control very, very quickly due to the absurdly short 8-minute gap between tee times which creates a significant backlog of groups. We arrived for our 11:40 tee time 20 minutes early and teed off 10 minutes late due to the group before us having to wait to tee off. We finished the first hole at a reasonable pace and arrived on the second tee to find the foursome in front of us still waiting for the group in front of them to move off the fairway. By the third tee,, *three* groups were backlogged waiting to tee off. The backlog remained for the duration of our round, which we cut short at 9 holes, because it took us 3 hours to play the front 9. The staff was gracious enough to provide course credit for use at a later date, but we would’ve preferred to play a full 18. Heed my advice; avoid this course on weekends if you aren’t one of the first groups out on the course.
