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.

Golfer Reviews
Carts, sprinklers and lack of communication.
We had to wait a half hour for a cart as they were all out of carts. Starters were friendly but did not tell us we were supposed to start on the back nine, had to overhear it from another golfer. Starter said we were to join with another twosome, so waited on the tee and after a long wait, finally checked with the proshop to find out the other twosome decided to go home because of the cart delay. Finally, as we were about to tee off, they started the sprinkler system getting us soaked.
Beware of the rough.
The fairways are always in great shape. You can play the ball down with no trouble. The greens are smooth for putting. The don't hold shots well. Too many unrepaired ball marks. That's not the fault of the management. People just won't repair ball marks. The rough is unforgiving. I lost a ball which went in the rough a foot or so. I have not played the course when the rough was cut lower. The guy I played with lost a dozen balls in the rough. Gotta factor that in the cost of the round. Staff was very nice.
Nice course
First time playing at California. Only played the front 9, but the course was in very good condition. The greens were rolling pretty fast for having dew on them still but they were consistent so it was easy to adjust. I liked the layout. If you can keep your ball straight off the tee there is opportunity to score a nice round here. Hope to be back soon to play the full course.

Nice, but……
This course desperately needs some rangers out and about……group in front of us was all over the course holding up play, at the 4-1/2 mark we still four holes to play, this is absurd, annoying, and unnecessary.
