Elks Run Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Elks Run Golf Club in Batavia was designed by Greg Norman. It sprawls across 163 lush and secluded acres where golfers will be hard-pressed to find a home anywhere close to the course. Norman carefully utilized the natural terrain, incorporating the meandering creek on several holes and also adding a few holes that venture up the side of a hill. Thanks to the dramatic elevation changes, there are some tees where your ball seems to stay in the air forever. The first nine is more open with a traditional links-style layout that then leads to the more densely wooded back nine. In addition to the trees and other natural hazards, there is also an unusually thick first cut of rough as well as tall stands of native grasses.

Nice
Well the day we went was cold and wet the fairways were a sloppy mess from the rain from the prior day. But overall this course has spectacular views and very long par fours. Its even better in the summertime.
Great local course in Cincinnati
Great local track. Layout is good, lots of doglegs, no real forced carries unless you play forwards tees. Very good course to test mental side of the game. Lots of holes you need to miss in right place for chance at par. Green last few weeks have rolled better than most in July!

Great local track with unique layout
Didn’t expect to get anymore golf in for 2020, but with a great weather forecast we got out and enjoyed it. Greens were rolling better than most in July. Fairways were still a hit/miss with aeration plugs and a few tee boxes were set to be reseeded. Overall our 3some had a great time

Fantastic Fall Conditions!
Elks Runs is in spectacular shape! Greens were in the best shape they have been all year long. While chilly (in the 40's all day long,-and mostly cloudy), but the course played great. Kudos to the greens keeper's and GM for great course management.

Hi Ronald, thank you for visiting us at Elks Run Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Elks Run
Course was in good shape. Pace of play was unbearable. Ranger on course said he could not understand why slow play. Well, clue #1 would be when you book tee times 9 minutes apart. 5hrs and 40 minutes for 18 holes on a weekday is inexcusable. More than a few people got frustrated and left after nine holes. Good course , but won't be back soon.
Hello, Tom. Thank you for reviewing the course. We would like to apologize for the delay of play during your round. Please know that this is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Elks Run Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Course was very playable and in great shape. Loved the fast greens. Guy at counter was very courteous and service at bar was fantastic.
