The course was in great shape and was not real crowded where you didn't have to rush every shot. Staff was friendly and it was a great time.

Hidden Gem of NKY

Really enjoyed playing this course. It was in perfect condition and the staff was great. Not crowded at all and the price was very good. I haven't played AJ Jolley in over a decade, but that is going to change. Strongly recommend this course for all skill levels.

First Time

Course was in very good condition. We were able to start right away. Pace was good until the 15th hole, then were waiting up to 10 minutes, but then still finished 18 under 4 hours.

Nice!

I've been playing AJ Jolly all my life and it just seems to get better (the course, not me). AJ is one of the best maintained, most beautiful (especially in Fall) public courses in Greater Cincinnati. Challenging but not discouraging. I highly recommend it.

Great value fun but challenging course

Fairways and greens were in great shape. Not a lot of leaf litter on the ground made for easy ball hunting after shots that were not in the fairway. Great scoring opportunities as few par 4’s are easily reached from tees with good tee shots. Employees were great and friendly will return to play another round.

Beautiful Course

My first time playing this course. We had a group of three in the middle of the day on a Sunday and it was busy. While pace on the front nine was slightly slow, it was certainly acceprable.

It was a 42 minute drive to the course but well worth it. The course was in great shape for this late in the season. The greens were excellent.

The course is a little on the shorter side, but accurate drives we're needed as the rough was definitely deep.

We enjoyed this absolutely beautiful course and will return.

Good Conditions

AJ was in very good shape. Greens good -- not fast but very true. Fairways good. Rough a little patchy and quite a few hardpan lies but not bad. Great deal through Golf Now.

They don't have room for a range but could put a chipping/short game area and nets for full swing warm-up to the left side of the first hole.
