Elks Run Golf Club

Greens are pretty rough. Need to police people to repair their ball marks.

From the first green all thru 18, only 2 greens in putting shape!!

Horrible ball marks and spiked and marked up by far the worst green I have seen in awhile. Bunkers were hard packed and not even in playable condition. Tees boxes and fairways needed a cut felt like I was playing a country course not a country club course that they charge 70$ to play. We play courses all around Cincinnati and for the money very very disappointed in how they have let this course get so torn up and not maintained.

Course was beautiful. Awesome layout. There were just two in our party and the foursome in front of us never offered to let us play through even though they were holding us up. So, it would have been nice if the ranger would have showed up at some point to speed up play.

It’s in good shape, greens are a little beat up because of a lot of play. Never saw a ranger and we had a very slow group ahead of us that were 2 holes behind starting on the back 9. The last 9 took far too long.

Pace fell flat after about 2 holes due to a couple of groups just playing plain slow. No marshals. No attempt to allow play-through. Our group waited on every shot for 5+ hours. The course conditions are somewhat better than last year, although the greens could use some additional care due to overplay and public golfers generally not understanding what a ballmark repair tool is.

For $70 you’d think there would be water on the course.

I’ve probably harped on this before, but nothing has changed. Course is still not worth the regular asking price, only played here because of Golf Now Hot Deal. Course is not in that great of shape, weeds in bunkers, chewed up tee boxed and fairways, cart didn’t ever have sand in bottles for divot repair. And, speaking of carts, they need to get rid of the damned GPS units in carts, or get them calibrated. they repeatedly won’t let you go to your ball in areas that are obviously not sensitive areas, playing partners had tl have shop staff come get their cart unlocked so they could continue play, this is unacceptable and unnecessary……..just infuriating.

Pace of play hasn’t been too bad until the latest round here. We were 45 minutes off of pace according to the GPS, we waited every hole and there was a 5-some on the course. If it’s going to be $95 to play there should never be a 5-some and a marshall should be going around to ensure reasonable pace of play.

The course was in great shape. The greens were a little slower than expected. The fairway bunkers have needed work for the last 3 years, but playable. They are lacking sand, extremely compacted and regardless of weather, are always wet.

Always enjoy the conditions and layout. Could have used a marshall to monitor pace of play.
