About
Elks Run Golf Club in Batavia was designed by Greg Norman. It sprawls across 163 lush and secluded acres where golfers will be hard-pressed to find a home anywhere close to the course. Norman carefully utilized the natural terrain, incorporating the meandering creek on several holes and also adding a few holes that venture up the side of a hill. Thanks to the dramatic elevation changes, there are some tees where your ball seems to stay in the air forever. The first nine is more open with a traditional links-style layout that then leads to the more densely wooded back nine. In addition to the trees and other natural hazards, there is also an unusually thick first cut of rough as well as tall stands of native grasses.

Not a $71 course at this time of year
I like the course and have played it many times before. However, not a $71 course at this point in the season. Most bunkers do not have sand and there are multiple tee boxes with no grass. Greens were quick and in good shape. For the money, better courses around. Give it some time, and may be worth the price.

Well taken care of
Great course and great staff, they take very good care of the whole course and just all around great bang for buck. I always recommend Elks run
Very slow play
Very slow play, starter standing on tee box while people were waiting to tee off.
Too many golfers. 5.5 hours to complete 18. Course poorly maintained
GREAT TRACK
I was in Cincinnati and needed a place to get a round in. Great Track!
Biggest pet peeve is any course offering any tee time without disclosing a cart path only day.
As always, a fun and challenging course. I was very impressed with the conditions. Snow was on the ground for the previous week and the day before I played, it finally melted. The course was great considering the previous elements. I would definitely recommend this course, even during the winter.
Elks Run is fun course & beautiful.
Elks Run is a beautiful place with a very good golf course.
