Elks Run Golf Club

Last Sunday weather was good. I played with my family, So I was very happy. Fairway and green were good more than summer. But Playing time was very very slow.

Course is in great shape. out in the country, quiet and beautiful. Great value also

It's a G Norman design, so it's pretty challenging. Couple of holes are gimmick not so great golf holes.
It was in good condition and thought it was a very good value.

I enjoy the course. Fairways are forgiving with large but challenging greens. Course weaves into the surrounding hillside. For a Friday, pace of play was atrocious. We walked off after 16 when two groups were waiting on 17 tee and it was already a 5 hour round. They had a Ranger but he obviously didn't do anything to speed things up. Pace is notoriously slow here.

Elks run is a good course tucked away in Batavia OH. With a friendly staff and the discounted price we found on Golfnow it made for a fun afternoon. Some challenging holes and wonderful greens made for a tough but fair round. I think once you play it and get the lay of the land your second round will improve. I'd play again at Elks Creek, of for no other reason it's one of Cincinnati's prettiest courses.

First Time I played Elks Run, was a great golf experience.
Look forward to playing it again.

If you are looking for a challenging course that is well cared for and an amazing layout of each hole, you will love Elks Run.

the course was in good shape the day I played! greens rolling good! one of best courses on east side

This was the first time playing there. Was really looking forward to it but we played the first three holes and got reprimanded by an old man for driving where we weren't supposed to. Where we were accustomed to playing we stayed away from the greens while in the fairway but in the rough we were able to go farther. The old man got really belligerent with us, so much we almost took our clubs to the car and left....I will never go there again nor will the friend of mine....

Finally this course is starting to look like what it used to be. Tee boxes were a little rough on some but the fairways were great and other than inconsiderate people not repairing ball marks the greens were nice

Played Elks Run with a friend for the second time this year. Greens are much faster than last time and bunkers are better maintained. They are under new ownership and definitely trying to make the course better. Very challenging course, have to hit it straight and keep it out of the rough. Staff was very nice everywhere and they have good deals on Yuengling Beer. Definitely going back again soon.

This course is still the best public layout from the tips in Cincinnati. Now that it is under new ownership I expect the course to get back into perfect shape and again hold some national tournaments. Greens were excellent, but fairways and tee boxes need some work. Not a good course for a handicap over 15 or # balls may be an issue...... with all the heather you can't fake your way around the course. I left this course for about 7 years because it was in turmoil, but it's now back on the list.

I enjoyed the round. It appears that some fairways are losing some grass to a fungus or disease. The greens were in great shape and were rolling very true. It appears that they had been rolled and it showed.

If the layout and scenery were all that I was judging then this course would get top marks. Unfortunately it is not. Virtually every tee box was basically sand with no grass. The fairways were hit and miss with grass. The most consistent green space on the course were the greens.

Truthfully I could have even looked past that if it were for the 10 minute wait for every single shot that I wanted to take. There were rangers cruising the course, but they must have even there for show because they took no action for the deliberate slow play.

course had fungus throughout tees, fairways, greens. pond scum on 2 was gross - could almost walk on it. pace of play was awful, rangers weren't successful in speeding up play. No advanced warning conditions were bad. ran sprinklers while we I=were trying to hit shots. Not the Elks Run it can be.

I played nine holes on 8/6 at Elks Run for the first time and it was a very good experience. The course is well maintained although not perfect. It would certainly be in better condition if players would fix their ball marks. This course is a good challenge but not daunting. The fairways have a very generous width but the approach shots need to be precise. The greens looked great but were too slow for my liking. I played late afternoon and the pace of play was great at 1-1/2 hours for nine holes. Will definitely be back.

Great course- Some really beautiful holes with elevated tee boxes,. Wish I played from the tips just to hit some of the drives off the hills.
Very Friendly- not too challenging from your proper tees.

Course is in great shape,new owners replaced carts.staff very nice. Cart barn person very good at this job.these are some of the reasons why people go back to a course and play,it's because of your staff,you may have the best course,but may not go back because of the treatment you received.

The course was in good condition, there were a few tee boxes that need some extra attention. Geens were ok, but other players didn't fix divots that is the only negative thing I have to say. Will be back to play again

Some of the best elevated tees in southern Ohio. A test of golf but fair well positioned hazards. Plays first class.
