Aston Oaks Golf Club

I understand the difficulties of keeping courses going with the lack of rain but a lot of areas were overwatered and difficult to play .

I have played here for years and never seen the front 9 in terrible shape. Fairways completely trashed missing grass and a swamp with no rain for days.

Place is just flat out in bad shape. Fairways have weeds everywhere, tons of bare / dirt spots on the fairways and greens. I do love the course layout generally, but for the price you can play tons of better courses in the area.

Course is in terrible shape, some fairways have new sod throughout, many are cart path only all the time, wet without rain (overwatered). Spoke with staff the extreme heat and torrential rains destroyed much of the course. I expect it will be a year to recover.

Whole course needs a lot of work crabgrass greens or tore up Fairways are bad love the course very disappointed.

Every time I come up from Florida this is the one course I want to play but was very disappointed this time. They're working on it but I've never seen so much crabgrass on a golf course. Trash cans were overfilled and no one was working on the course which it needs a lot of work. Had to roll the ball in the Fairway to find good spots cuz there were so many places burn up or just a mess. I'll be back but it'll be a while before I do. Still love the course but hope it gets better.

Do they even take care of this course? Worst conditions I've seen in Cincinnati

They boast about having 120 outings here a year, but its not the flex they think it is. Course is in terrible condition. Greens have craters from unfixed pitch marks, the fairways are burnt with large dead areas, tee boxes not level. They must have had an outing the day before as all the trash cans were overflowing. Beer cans and drinks strewn in the parking lot. Luckily we played it on a weekday rate for 33 bucks. Would absolutely not pay the standard 70 dollar rate.

I have played this course at least a dozen times and it has always been in great shape. But this time I have never seen this course looks so bad. Greens were burnt fairways were horrible. I don’t know what’s happening there, but the groundskeeper needs pay attention. T boxes were some of the worst I have seen. I don’t know if this course is under new management, but I was taken by surprise after the hour drive to this course. The way I talked it up to the person I was bringing and to see how it looked. Today was an embarrassment. Please pay attention to the course and make the adjustments needed.

This is a really nice course that hasn’t been very well maintained this year. Fairways were pretty beat up.

as of august 7th, 2025 the course is in terrible condition. sad to see what is has become. was once a beautiful course but unfortunately no longer. tee boxes are hard to find grass on, the fairways are atrocious and full of bare spots and crab grass..and can’t get a true roll on the greens without it bouncing from divots or other marks. hopefully they cut back on the outings and leagues and take some time to get it back to how it use to be

This is the worst tee time management… ever!

I called the club house desk at 1 hour and 10 minutes into hole 3.

Got a voice recording the first time. What if it were an emergency?

The second time, I got someone - Joel was very sympathetic and told me I could get a rain check if I couldn’t play the pace.

Sooo, off I went to turn in the cart after blowing a Sunday.

I didn’t get a full rain check!

I was charged for 2, (or was it 3), holes. Not a full rain check.

This is the worst experience I’ve ever had at Aston.

It is (was) a favorite course.

Now? Well, can’t do a reservation via GolfNow as no way to know how packed the course will be.

I can’t blow a day.

Oh. I must add that as I drove through the 9 holes, all seemed to have burned out fairways and were roped off from play.

Fairways are burnt/completely dead and muddy. Nobody has ever repaired a pitch mark at this course. Really gone downhill last couple years. Nearly 6 hour pace of play

Tee boxes were a mess. Weeds everywhere. Some of them didn't seem mowed. Should at least have an even lie on a tee box. Fairways were very spotty again. Weeds everywhere giant spots missing grass. The greens weren't much better.

A disclosure should be required when a course is in this bad of shape. I cannot believe I looked forward to playing here all week. Sorry for the bad review, but I landed so many in the fairway that were completely unplayable, no grass anyway. I picked a weed out of the center of the teebox on 14 that was larger than my hand?? If this course has a maintenance crew maybe they’re on vacation lol

This might be the most poorly maintained golf course in the Cincinnati area. Everything was bad. The tee boxes had patchy grass and uneven lies. The fairways were mostly mud, big giant dead spots. The greens had ball marks everywhere and it looks like nobody's ever tried to fix one. This course was bad. I will never go back

This golf Course is in terrible condition every fairway is burnt the tee boxes ate nothing but Crab grass and mud.... I would not advise any play on this golf course until... the course fix problems... the course should be CLOSED UNTIL FURTH6 NOTICE.... OR SERIOUS DISCOUNT!!!! the Price I paid was not 31 Dollars on a "DEAL TIME" STAY AWAY FROM THIS COURSE UNTIL THE COUSE FIX THE FAIRWAYS AND TEE BOXES.. SOMEONE WILL HURT THEMSELVES BECAUSE FOOT IS TERRIBLE ON TER BOXES AND FAIRWAYS YOU HAVE TO GO 10 TO 20 FOOT TO FIND GOOD TURF ON ALL FAIRWAYS...... AND NO MOST TEE BOXES!¡!!!!!!!!!!

A challenging golf course with picturesque backdrops to most golf holes on the Riverside course. A variety of tee placements helps fit golfers of several skill levels without being overly intimidating. Walking this course would be extremely demanding.
