California Golf Course

About
The California Golf Course sits on land that slopes gently and offers a nice view of the Ohio River; however, this course ain't just pretty to look at, but laid out to play in a manner that will test seasoned golfers and welcome novices to the friendly golf course where the trees are old growth.
California Golf Course provides 18 holes of par-71 golf over 6,227 yards. A round of golf kicks off on a par-4 hole that plays to 367 yards from the Blue tees. Because this is one of Cincinnati's longer municipal golf courses, power golfers will appreciate the chance to open up their games a bit more, with about a third of the holes measuring over 400 yards from the Blue tees, including a pair of par-5 holes, the second and ninth holes.
As the California Golf Course is a municipal golf course, expect low rates, and those who can swing a round of golf during the workweek can expect them to be even lower.

Love this course
One of my favorite courses in Cincinnati. Front nine is fun with a few up and down hill elevations. The back nine will test your shot selection for sure. I’ve been playing this course since I was a teen and keep coming back because of the atmosphere.

Great course Just not for me
If you can find the fairways on the layout you may score well. No strikes against this place and it’s a tight tree lined country club style course with lots of elevation. I struggled with control off the tee and got to see many of those trees up close. It’s a cool layout and great manicured course but if you struggle to hit it straight off the tee you’re going to struggle big time here. Greens are fast and I would imagine really firm if they want them to be. Couple rainy days this weekend softened them a bit. Good shots sucked down and short chips rolled appropriately. Great course I may have to visit again when I’m hitting the ball a little straighter off the tee.
