Elks Run Golf Club

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.

Tee boxes and fairways were in great shape given the weather. Bunkers were unplayable but that was due to the rain the night before. The greens were very beat up given the time of year. I would have expected the greens in better shape. I hope they address that before it gets too hot in the summer to recover them. If they don’t I would not be willing to pay the price to play the course.

Easily one of the best public facilities in Cincy. They’ve successfully renovated numerous bunkers over the past 24 months.

This was my first time playing Elk Run Golf Club and I will definitely play it again. This was the 61st round of golf that I have played this year at 32 courses and Elk Run is my new favorite course. The course layout and design were great. Staff was super friendly. Pace of play was awesome too.

I don't usually write a review but feel this is warranted.

I played Elks Run yesterday, November 8th and having played here many many times in the past, I have to say the course has never been in better shape!! Coudos to the ownership and maintenance staff for making this course one of the top courses in the area of Cincinnati. I play a lot of golf so I know what the other courses around Cincinnati have to offer. This has nothing to do with staff, but I wish golfers would repair their pitch marks!! It is sad to see a course this nice have these ball marks all over the green. Having said that, I will happily repair a few ball marks per green in order to enjoy this course. Keep up the great work!

Came from KY to play very nice track. SUPER fast greens but the best I’ve ever played on. Only complaints are for one, the young guy in the pro shop acted like I was an inconvenience that he had to get off the simulator to help me. I told him it’s our first time playing and if he had any tips he just said keep it in bounds. Get him out of the pro shop please? Secondly, there was so many groups of 1-2 people. Please group them up I shouldn’t have to wait 10 mins every time I get to hit. Other than that, it’s one of my new favorite courses I’ll definitely be back.
