Elks Run Golf Club

I have played here before a few times. The course is currently in poor condition. Sand traps are unplayable. They have no sand. Greens and fairways were a bit shaggy. Layout and routing is good

The staff was extremely nice. A staff member met our car in the lot with a cart. He met us after to drive it away after our round. Starter and ranger were helpful and visible. No problem with play. Sunday afternoon round finished in 4 hours.

Tee boxes were in good shape, fairways watered, groomed and in good repair. Greens were a little beat up. It was later in the day and the course was soft.

Will go back.

Nice layout, good combination of long and short holes with lots of fescue, some too deep to find/play - keep it in the fairways. Greens rolling very nicely.

I have to play were I can get Hotdeals. When I see this course at a price I can afford, I can't pass it up such as this week end. Thanks Golf Now. this is my #1 Course I have played in Ohio.

Very nice track, but pace was quite slow.

Bring a lot of balls. Course will eat them.

It is a fun golf course and in great shape. Good value. My only question is how great this course could have been if there was more land to work with. Course is very tight in regards to layout. But fun to play, challenging, and not build in the middle of a subdivision, which is a huge plus. Great holes: 13 (long narrow green, pin placement dictates 2nd shot), 8 (short down hill par 3, good luck when wind is up), 15 (Par 5, laying up on the left side of the fairway not advisable).

Back 9 is quite a bit tougher than the front. Greens a little slow, but there's been a lot of rain lately. Clubhouse is very nice, prices on food and drink are reasonable.

Great fun course to play with a ton of different looks. I have played this course about 16 times and my only complaint would be the pace of play. You will always be out on course for 5 hrs or longer for 18. If you have the time, great course.

What a nice day of golf at s great price on golf now !

Course was in great shape and enjoyed the round !!

Pace of play turned what could have been an exceptional round into an average round.

Despite the snow and cold temps as of late this course was in outstanding shape. The wind conditions will wreak havoc on your shots due to the many elevation changes, but I think that makes the course more endearing.
The staff was outstanding! Very friendly and extremely helpful. I live on the west side of Cincinnati, and I will happily make the drive to play here again and again!

Awesome and challenging course.

Excellent course. The facility was well appointed and the staff was friendly. I highly recommend this course!!

It was nice that via GolfNow, you could see that the greens have been recently aerified. We knew what we were getting into. It looked like they JUST aerified them the day before or that morning. The only issue was that the holes weren't quite filled in throughout and some areas still had a lot of sand on the surface. Hmmm.... what's it like putting through a bunker? Now I know. I 4-putted from 12 feet out. But, we knew that going in. The price was good.

The rest of the course was in great shape as usual. The pace was great on the front, but on the back, I think the guys in front of us were starting to get drunk and were hitting the ball all over the place. One guy left his putter 3 holes back. LOL.

So, it is what it is. Tis the season of aerification, don't pay full price.

By comparison to Shaker Run the next day this was
like playing Augusta

This is a challenging course with some beautiful scenery! I'm fairly new to the area and had only played here once before. The only complaint I have isn't their fault - when players are fixing their ball marks on the greens, they are doing so improperly and digging up the center of the mark, which has made several greens a little rough. Aside from that, the rough is challenging, there's lots of fescue And the greens are lightning quick. If you keep it straight you can score here - good shots are usually rewarded. Great deals on golfnow make this one of the premier valued courses in greater Cincinnati!

Great layout play a lot of courses this is by far one of the best

Finally got to play here with my dad. The course was in great shape. The only reason I marked down were for some ballmarks. Elks Run has a challenging layout for all tees/skillsets. My dad had all he wanted from the men's tees and I was able to play the tips to offset our differences in distance. The fairways were green and lush an the greens were receptive of approach shots. We cannot wait to go out again the next time he is in town.

staff and course were terrific but the pace of play was beyond acceptable. we had two threesomes in front of us and they had no where to go. at the end of 7 we were one hole behind the time card we were given. at the end of 8 holes we were two holes behind. there was no explanation or ranger to help. my son was leaving for college the next day and asked that we try and try to finish. we tried ten and then quite. you had too many people on the course and the 7 minute gap only works if you have low hanicappers.
