Elks Run Golf Club

Great time in a beautiful, serene setting. A few fairways off limits due to new grass growing but really no problem for us.

Course over all was in good shape. A few of the greens and fairways conditions were average to below average(mostly because of ball marks and divots not being repaired). A definite risk reward course. Layout is beautiful. I encourage any golfer to play this course just for the experience.

I thoroughly enjoy playing this course. It’s always in great shape. However, it took us over 5 1/2 hours to play today. There was a group of 30ish players in front of us that were having a great time but we’re very slow. We didn’t see a ranger the entire time and honestly wish we would’ve called the clubhouse. Someone needed to speed them up. If you have a large group, don’t offer a GN deal/tee time right behind them. Let them have their fun, but don’t let us have to add an extra two hours to our round.

Again, great course and will come back again.

I find the course is one of the better layouts in Cincinnati. However the conditions were a bit rough. Many of the greens and the rough around them are not in as good a shape as they used to be a few years ago. The pace of play was outstanding for an early Saturday tee time.

Have been wanting to play this course for a while with all the good reviews. The course was in horrible shape and poorly maintenanced. Pace of play was horrible tee times too close for a good pace. Waited every shot 5 hour round. Don't waste your money thinking this is a nice course. Spend the extra 15 and go to stonelick hills.

Lots of fairway and tee box rot; greens have some and are pock marked with many unrepaired ball marks.

greens were fast but fair, some rough spots in fairways but its been hot and dry around here lately. The course is challenging but not impossible for the average weekend golfer.

But the course is beautiful shape. The was some problem with the fairway grass on a couple of holes but the greens were fast and true.

Fairways were firm and fast, while still having some green in them. Greens were true with a couple minor exceptions. Overall I had a lot of fun!!

This is a great course to play if you stay in the fairway. Which I don't

Everything was in good shape and I will be back

Enjoy the view as it sits at the base of a hill.

Have been playing here for years! Best I have seen this course in a long time. The greens and fairways are excellent!! The tees are pretty good as well. The only complaint I would have would be the BUNKERS. If your going to charge a premium for playing then you need to have everything in good shape. Anytime they get rain the bunkers get washed out.

One of my favorite courses in Cincy. Great layout and great condition.

First time playing this course. Played in 3.5 hrs. Great layout. Little drive from downtown but well worth it. Great scenery from every hole. Staff is amazing. Give it a try.

Enjoyed our round. Perfect weather, nice course design and pace of play was just right.

I loved the lay out and the conditions of the course. Only issue I had at all was having a 9:24am tee time and not being able to tee off until 10:05am. When I arrived 15 minutes early for my tee time there were about 20 golfers and 13-14 carts at the number one tee box. Not to mention, after waiting for 40 minutes to tee off then we were stuck behind the 20 golfers that were also sent off late. Front nine took 3 hours and had to leave after 14th hole because I had to pick my son up at 4pm. No where should take 6+ hours of golf. No pone call or notification that there would be a late start from the pro shop.

I played this course just yesterday... well, I tried to. Had a 9:03 tee time, but due to a frost delay didn’t tee off until 10:05. I can understand that, nothing the course can do about frost. Once groups were starting to tee off, we asked about going off the back, but they said that wasn’t allowed here. Ok, so we wait our turn to go off #1. We proceed to wait on every shot on every hole. At 1:00pm we walked off the 9th green and drove straight to our car. 3 hours for 9 holes on a Monday morning. Not a single ranger or anyone out there to keep things moving.
