Elks Run Golf Club

This is an excellent course for all golfers and is very well maintained.

The holes are challenging and fair. 4 tee boxes to choose from to suit anyone's game.

The course itself was in great condition the staff was courteous and friendly from the starter to the folks in the lounge . I have always enjoyed playing Elks run I just wish it was closer to Crescent Springs so that I could play there more often

Wet March, but the course needs some attention. Front 9 and Back 9 greens were running different speeds, back looked like it had been top dressed a week or so ago. Zero water coolers on course. Pace of play was awful, 5:45 for 18. There was a JR event prior to tee time, surprised course was not in better condition and no water coolers out

Each hole is unique with varying degrees of difficulty. Well maintained and offers a tournament brand of play at an affordable price.

Played this course in February expected greens to be slow and bumpy because it had rained the past few days, I was very surprised when the greens were cut and rolled and surprisingly smooth. The design of the course was challenging and had good length. The last five holes were as challenging of closing holes from the tips as I have played in cincinnati. Great course, fun to play, and I will most definitely be back there soon to play.

The different challenges that this course presents is a blast. It requires all types of shots. And the views are gorgeous

I always enjoy playing Elks Run. It is one of the nicest courses for the price east of Cincinnati. Quite challenging for any caliber of golfer and the amenities are very good.

The staff is great and it starts with the ownership all the way down to the super Tracey and his excellent staff that maintains the course.

The Friday night dinners with the entree of steak or salmon fantastic.

Just wish the assistant pro could win more money in the Florida tournaments! lol

The staff has done an excellent job bringing this course back after two flash floods caused significant damage during the summer. Tee boxes are in great shape, most fairways are in very good condition (aside from a few that still have a bare patch here and there), and the greens are rolling great. Bunkers are also in great condition. The layout of this course is one that will bring you back over and over with beautiful elevation changes. Front 9 is more open while back 9 winds through the woods with a creek that comes into play on several holes. If you have never played at Elks Run, do yourself a favor and get there for a round!

I've played this course for the last 2 years and it is by far, one of my favorites. The recovery by the crew after the floods has been phenomenal! Challenging from the fairways, difficult from the up-grown native area, overall beautifully kept, with very friendly staff. I play here every chance I get. Although the greens are well maintained, the golfers seem to forget that repairing your ball mark is your own responsibility. Overall a beautiful layout in a picturesque setting that is more than worth the travel, time and money.

Wouldn't expect anything less from Greg Norman or the countless others who contributed to this great track. Very scenic. Great views. I will say challenging, but still fun. If I lived closet would play everyday.

Course is quite nice, back 9 winds through and around a large creek, with very scenic holes. 4 fairways were being aerated, so we were cart path only on these.

Took 5 hours to play on a Tuesday!! We had foursomes in front of us, playing a scramble. Normally, scramble groups are faster than regular foursomes, but not here! No ranger in sight, maybe due to the late Fall date. This was the only thing marring the round.

Well aerating made it very difficult on the greens, it's still a great place to play. Just wish I had known. I was skipped it this week

it was a rainy day, but the course was in ok condition considering the very hot weather we have been having.

it's always a nice venue to play.

After recent storms the staff has done a great job of getting the course in good playing conditions. Greens fast and true. Some fairways still need a little help. Overall good value, and experience.

This course is in need of some TLC. From where is was at the beginning till now has fallen dramatically. Weeds throughout, unplayable sand traps and tee boxes that need to be redone. Will not play there anytime soon. However, the $25.00 greens few was reasonable for the the time and course conditions.

I just moved here from Florida and have been trying a lot of courses. This is one of my favorites so far. Well kept up for the most part except for a few holes but they say that flash floods were the cause of that. I could see that being that there are creeks running all through the course and the amount of rain we had the last few weeks. I really enjoyed the round and would definitely play again.

I asked a friend who is a Golf Advisor staffer for a list of courses to play while I was in the Cincinnati area. The list provided was thorough and spot on. I played four courses. All were great public courses to play. However, Elks Run outshone them all. The layout is located in a small river valley that takes advantage of the elevation changes. The front nine has wide open fairways and large greens. The second nine requires a player to be more strategic off the tee and second shots are to smaller green complexes, usually with the creek fronting the green. Recent flooding has damaged several parts of the back nine but do not let that be a deterrent. The grounds crew has done an outstanding job returning the course to playability. I joined a twosome, one of whom is a local pro at another top area course. He repeatedly stated Elks Run was his favorite course in the Greater Cincinnati. All in all, the value to play this course is exceptional. $29 twilight rate. Recommend to anyone.
