About
Aston Oaks Golf Club is perched atop rolling hills that overlook the Ohio River Valley. The Jack Nicklaus Design Group created the course, which sits on the former land of President William Henry Harrison. Although his presidency was short lived, traces of his legacy in Ohio can be seen throughout the golf course. Each hole was carefully carved from stands of mature white oak, hickory, and other native hardwoods. The course is tight and demanding with fast greens and plenty of elevation changes. The abundance of trees really characterizes the course. Between the 10th tee and the 11th green, there is a giant Buckeye tree that is the largest in the state. With all of the trees lining the fairways there was hardly a need to add bunkers, but there are some incorporated along the greensides that help to define some holes.

Pretty Nice
Some of the fairways were a little rough but overall very good course. Would play again.
Always enjoy Aston Oaks
Various set of tees make it enjoyable for all. Being 72cyears old I have lost a lot of distance in the last few years but the shorter tee set ups help make it more enjoyable. The course is in great shape and the layout allows you to enjoy the wildlife. I have seen deer several times over the years and yesterday got to see a male turkey strutting his stuff. There is also a nice view of the Ohio River on one hole.
Great Course on the West Side
Really fun Jack Nicklaus designed course. Clubhouse is nice and GPS on carts. They have the longest drive I've experienced between two holes and the hole you drive to is probably the best on the course.
Hello, NatiFish. Thank you for visiting us at Aston Oaks Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.

Disappointed with the conditions of the course as well as pace of play.
Hello, smoertle. Thank you for reviewing the course. We are sorry to hear you were not pleased with the pace of play or course conditions during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time along with keeping our course in pristine condition. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
I wish there was a way to fix it
Aston has a great layout. For early spring the course was in good condition. The staff is very accommodating. Pace of play has been atrocious the last three times I've played. This past weekend was 5 1/2 hours. Group in front of us had no business being on the course. It's one thing to be a bad golfer it's another thing to have no understanding of golf etiquette or pace of play. This group would stand on the tee boxes and have a conversation about who was going to hit first. Then in the fairways the entire group would drive to one ball and then the next person's ball, and so on. Then they stand around on the green discussing the 10 they just carded. Again, short of kicking them off the course I dont know what you do, because the ranger talked to them at least 5 times during the round. If this was the first time I would probably just brush it off, but third time in a row for a 5 hour plus round is ridiculous.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Great course if you want to be rude and play as a group of 16. This course USED to be top 5 and barely cracks the top 20 for public golf in cincy. Needs a lot of work especially on the back 9.
Slowwwww, but still a GREAT course
You get a couple nice days in December, and ya, it’s gonna be slow. The course had a ranger, a starter, and things seemed organized. That said, almost a 5 hour round. I’ve played here a number of times and haven’t seen this before. What I kept trying to focus on was the layout conditions and the top notch treatment of the staff. I live a long ways away, so I’ll have to say out the situation in terms with Funtime of year and whether it’s a day ripe for overplay, because virtually everything a good player wants from a course is found here.
Great experience
First time playing here, and the weather was very cold. But the course had covered carts and rentable heaters. The course itself was in great condition! I’ll be back to play again!
Loved the course.
Loved the course. Very friendly staff. Very reasonably pricing. It was a cold day. They offered us an enclosed cart with a heater for $5. This was a first for me. We'll definitely recommend!
Amazing
Aston is always challenging and a great course to play.
PICTURESQUE AUTUMN ROUND OF GOLF
This Jack Nicklaus designed golf course is always a very enjoyable place to play golf. The layout is as challenging as the tee boxes chosen to play from. Course was in excellent condition as tees and fairways were lush and very well seeded with no bare spots. There are beautiful houses and condos lining the entire course with an outstanding view of the ohio river from a hole on the back nine. Greens were very good and putted true. We enjoyed a very good lunch from a wide selection of menu items. Alcohol and beer selections were available from a very well stocked bar. Dining either inside or outside facing the 9th hole is available.While being a public course amenities are more similar to a private country club, driving range and electric carts add to a very enjoyable round. During winter covered carts with heaters are also provided. The overall quality of the course ranks it among the best in tristate area. Our hot deal round from golf now made the cost to play a very reasonable $22.50 with a noon start time with very few other golfers on the course. That is another plus of playing autumn weekday golf.
Great course with awesome views!
It was my first time playing, and not only was the course in great shape but the views were spectacular!
