Elks Run Golf Club

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.

Its very unfortunate that Elks jams so many groups onto this course. It's a great course but, it's hard with lots of trouble. So this is the problem. Due to difficulty they need to space the tee times better. It seems they should try to please the majority rather than jam so many players on the course and disappoint everyone just to make a little more money. Until I hear they fix this I will not go back! Very unfortunate cause it's a great track.

Everything about Elk's Run was great, except pace of play. Our round was over 4'50", and we started at 424pm, so darkness prevailed on us. We never saw any club official or representative out checking people trying to speed up play. I think some effort should have been exerted to ensure rounds are not this long and this slow. There were
Players behind us whom did not finish. Other than pace of play, this is a great venue.

Dave, Mr. Matter of Fact. Let Dave check you in. Listen. The man enjoys his job, loves his course and appreciates all golfers. He shares the needed and necessary information Then he shares things to make your round easier. The whole place is very nice. The staff great, all doing a fine job. But know Dave is a great person to send you off. Listen up, it's all good

Pace of play was a big issue at Elks Run. Playing a 5+ hour round is not exactly fun. I did not see any rangers on the course telling groups to speed up their play.

Good course great people. will come back again to play!

This is a nice course and I would love to play it regularly if it wasn't 40 minutes away. I live in the center of the city and am close to everything. It is nice that the course is secluded but would be an unreasonable drive for anyone living on the west side.

Fun and interesting course. The only problem is the other golfers don't repair ball marks and the greens were dinged up. We should all know to fix our marks!
