Avon Fields Golf Course

About
Avon Fields Golf Course is one of the older golf courses in Cincinnati, where it sits on picturesque land that rolls along fairways lined with trees - and it's easily accessible to downtown. The golf course provides tests and good times for golfers at all levels, with elevated and diminutive greens for those who like to play short golf, as well as those who need more practice at it (for those who need more practice in general, the Jimmy Woods Learning Center is onsite).
Avon Fields Golf Course provides 18 holes of par-67 golf over 5,081 yards. Tee off on a par 4 that plays to 369 yards. The course is short compared with megacourses being built elsewhere nowadays: About a third of the holes come in at under 200 yards, even from the Blue tees, while only the fourth hole, the lone par-5 hole, stretches to over 400 yards from the Blue tees.
As the Avon Fields Golf Course is a municipal golf course, expect affordable green fees, and those who can swing a round of golf during the workweek can expect them to be even lower.

Reviews
Great time
Had a great day. Course was in excellent condition. Played a twosome with a nice guy from Fla..
We were able to play thru several foursomes. Played 18 in 3 hrs.
The manager is SO rude
We had a 7pm tee time… the sprinklers were on when we arrived to the first tee box. We waited a moment and they didn’t turn them off. We had to play in the sprinklers for about 4 holes in a row. Not just off the tee. In the fairway; as well. We were MAYBE 5 minutes behind pace of play due to the fact that we had to wait on every shot for sprinklers to rotate away from our balls so we didn’t get soaked the entire round. Some one who claims they’re a manager came up to us and was a real a**hol* pretty much telling us it’s our fault we’re getting wet because we’re playing so slow when they were literally on from the start!! I heard him threaten to call the cops on 2 other groups on the course, not sure why but he did. I wanted to finish my round before talking back to him because I don’t want to be stranded on a golf course with the police coming to me for no reason. We literally got held up on the last 3 holes in a row so in all reality there was no reason to come say something to us about our pace. When we finished, I went to the clubhouse to ask to speak to a different manager than this gentleman who was out on the course just because I wanted to make them aware of his rude behavior. He claims he’s the only one there. I told him how he was rude and had no reason to talk down on us the way he did but he decided to double down and be rude again! I tried walking away from him, I left the club house and this “manager” followed me out to my car! His employee did as well! The employee was telling me never come back we didn’t want your business anyway. HE THEN STOOD AT MY CAR AND ARGUED WITH ME, LITERAL HARASSMENT!! I would absolutely avoid this place like the plague until they get different management. Play literally any other CRC course, I’ve never ever had an issue like this before at ANY golf course in Cincinnati. I would highly recommend any other course. It’s worth the extra drive time and money. The course is in horrible shape. Greens are patchy as can be. Fringe is just dead grass. Multiple dead patches through out the entirety of the courses fairways. Just an unfortunate lack of care is given to this place and I would say it no doubt starts at the top with management.
Allows tee times to be booked when they have league play and refuse to let people who paid money play
Maybe last time ever playing here
Course is decent, but short. No Par 5s, course and greens could stand some maintenance work done to get up to par (ha!) Luckily this time the staff was not yelling at patrons so that’s a plus. Pace of play not very good. This last time playing just may have been my last time. I’d rather not deal with the frustrations when coming out to golf. I’ll pay a little more and enjoy another course as opposed to playing this one again due to the factors listed.
Don’t book through GolfNow!
Tried booking a tee time for 4:52 pm because Avon Fields showed multiple tee times from 4-5:30 available, when I get to the course they say I can’t get on until 6:30 because of leagues (which makes sense) but why are there 10-15 tee times posted for during the leagues you run. I told them I’ll just wait until 6:30 and play after the leagues are over, and they tell me they don’t run carts. Asked the gentleman in the pro shop why you even have tee times posted during your leagues if you can’t send anyone off at their booked time, and he told me “I don’t know, call GolfNow.” Isn’t that your job as a pro shop employee? Not a former customer who has played multiple rounds and has never had this issue before. Hopefully, they’re honest and it was just a mistake and not just another course struggling for tee times, so they resort to having tons and tons of tee times posted in attempt to gain more eyes, but I’m not sure. Pretty annoyed at this though.

@antcunn, thank you for taking the time to leave your review of our Avon Fields course. Unfortunately, this is not the first time this season we have had issues with GolfNow, and we will be sure to remind our employees the proper actions when these issues happen. We apologize for any inconvience and hope to see you back on the course again soon.
Horrible Staff
Me and my friend showed up for a tee time booked through golf now to be told that the league voids golf now bookings. We were told to wait an hour… not a big deal. The clubhouse employee was extremely degrading and acted like this was our fault. We decided to book a later tee time and again, this employee was extremely rude. After about 20 minutes of chipping around we noticed literally no one near the clubhouse or pulling in the lot. (Many people being turned away if they booked through golf now.) We talked with another employee who allowed us to tee of over 30 minutes earlier than the first employee said we could. There was no one on the first two holes and no one waiting on the tee boxes. Unfourtinately I did not catch the rude staff members name, but trust me, if you go… you’ll know which one he is. Good luck, hit em straight.

@justinhenn, thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Avon Fields course. We apologize for the way you were treated during your visit and we will be sure to address this with our staff. We are glad that you were still able to play and hope that you visit again soon.
Very poor customer service
Booked a tee time through golf now for 9 holes. Showed up for the tee time and the man behind the counter said we couldn’t go out due to leagues and was very rude towards and acted like we were dumb. He then acted as if it was our fault for booking through golf now and turned us away. We were polite the entire process and he continued acting in an aggressive manner towards us. I would not recommend this course, they need to fix the issue and not allow you to book tee times that aren’t available. Dudes a joke.

Could use work
First and foremost golf now pulled a fast one…. I usually never pay anything at any course I goto…. But golf now made me pay a fee for booking it thru them… super dumb… on top of it the course was dry and was complained to about how they had league going on… like that’s not my fault

Not super friendly there, you can't even bring your clubs back to your car on your cart. They say it is because people smuggle beer but makes no sense when you are leaving.

Poor customer service.
I’ve been playing this course since high school and I still can’t stop laughing that we got scolded for not having a 4some. My buddy and I booked a 2 some and on the 5th hole Ron came up to us and scolded us for not having a group of 4. There wasn’t anyone behind us either….
