Graywolf Golf Course

Haven’t played much golf so that I’d do something different. I had played this about 10 years ago and thought it was nice. My “complaints” are similar to other course conditions noted on other reviews. My biggest thumbs down is no ice for my beer cooler. Lol. I’ll be back though.

Been playing this course about once a month. Staff is friendly enough that you want to keep coming back! Every time we see another improvement. This time we finally saw a little movement on the future clubhouse. Hope to see continued improvements!

Talked to the gentleman running the pro shop for a good amount of time and his friendliness alone will bring me back. Didn’t realize the course has been destroyed by the tornados years ago and to see how good it looked today you would have no idea. Great course will recommend for others!

You will find no better layout in the Dayton area Unfortunately this course has a long way to go condition wise as the current owner tries to rebuild the mess from previous owners and the course being closed for several years. I will continue to support and hope others do as well and we continue to see improvements

It is making it's way back from tornado few years ago. Will be great again soon.

The course is coming along The greens are excellent, bunkers are clean and enough sand to play a proper shot Fairways were mowed and green It will take a couple of years to clean out all the weeds Clubhouse is under construction I’m hoping the progress continues I love the layout

Great pace of play and laid back atmosphere. Tee times are perfectly spaced out sonyour never waiting or rushing. This course is huge! You don't feel like your on top of everyone. The course itself is still on its way back from the tornado, but don't let that deter you. It's been my favorite course to play this year hands down.

I actually really like this course. I love that it is such a long course and challenging. I know the course still has a long way to go and I only gave it three stars in hopes of giving it 5 stars in the near future.

Here are my reasons for not giving it 5 stars:

1. Tee boxes are way too tall (grass) and weeds growing in tee box.

2. Some of the greens need aerated pretty bad.

3. I talked with the golf course super and asked if they had plans to re-due the sand traps and he said they were working on it now and some of the sand traps were already done. That was a little worrisome as no sand trap that I had noticed had near enough sand in them, the sand was the consistency of cheap playground sand, lots of pebbles and big rocks in the sand traps and TONS of grass growing up through the sand, which re-iterates my statement of not near enough sand in the traps.

We played this course in early spring and there hasn’t been a whole lot of improvement. The sand traps were almost unplayable, several greens were in bad shape - mostly sand, and very little work has been performed on the future clubhouse. The fairways have shown a little improvement but have a long way to go. On the bright side the employees have been outstanding. We will probably wait until early fall and try this course again.

Tough course. Some greens excellent shape others are poor. Roll good. Lot of rough area needs to be seeded and most sand traps are not raked, or good sand. I can see with some TLC and finish of clubhouse would be a course I would play a few times a year. A lot of crosswind with the length not an easy course.

Excellent course for the money. Wide open fairways yet very challenging. Very friendly staff including the graywolf himself. Which is a big beautiful husky that greets you when you arrive. They are in the process of rebuilding somethings since the tornadoes but does affect the gorgeous course

If I understand correctly this course was abandoned or not maintained for a few years. It shows! The course is in poor shape. But they’re good signs for a revival. There is new ownership, A new clubhouse is being built and repairs to the course are being made. He course layout was enjoyable to play and with irrigation the fairways and greens will completely playable.

With time and an influx of capital this can be a gem of a course.

The course is on the raise. Course was very hard along with the greens. Some patchy spots on the greens that make it hard to putt. But give it a little time this will be a gem.

First thoughts: This course is still recovering from tornado damage that occurred a few years ago. I've heard that this started as a Chi Chi Rodriguez signature course, and it does look like a very well designed course.

The good: The staff is friendly, the fees for play and carts are low, and the area is quite beautiful. There's a lot of variety in terrain and features and play would be enjoyable to even a novice player. The course features very nice views, some of which are even reminiscent of TPC Sawgrass. The course presents challenging play to those that employ solid course management techniques.

The bad: It's been a hot and dry summer in Ohio so far. The course is in bad need of rain and continued watering. The fairways are very dry and in rough shape. Some are so dry that they've gotten to the point of cracks and fissures forming. The greens seem to be the biggest watering priority, and are in decent shape considering the weather conditions and the overall state of recovery efforts the course is currently undergoing. The Tee boxes could all use a bit of work to level them out and improve the conditions of the turf. It appears that there were a lot more bunkers at some point in the past, those that remain still present an adequate challenge, but could really use rejuvenation with the addition of new sand and sharpening up the edges. The return of the unused and now defunct bunkers would also be a welcomed improvement.

Final thoughts: Improving the course conditions with a bit of water, aeration, and (very specifically) a focus on improving the greens, tee boxes, and bunkers will surely take time. I really do hope this course successfully recovers, and if so, I have no doubt this course will easily become one of the areas golf gems.

This course design is fantastic and the course staff were very friendly. They are working hard to refurbish a course that was destroyed by a tornado and when it matures and regrows the course will be a top place to play. Very playable and I look forward to more rounds here.

This course is in rough rough shape. Even for $29, do not go until they get the clubhouse completed unless you just want to slap some balls around. No one was out there so we played 18 in 3 hours or so.
