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.

Love GPS

I love to play this course when I can find a deal for under $30. Challenging holes but not impossible for the weekend golfer. Great scenery and generally see lots of wildlife along the way.

Mid Saturday Afternoon

3:30 tee off on time, moved right along on a Saturday afternoon. Everything about this course is very good to excellent, greens, fairways, rough, sand traps. Course seems to always be well taken care of. Price of $18 +tax for weekend great. Played as single and paired up with two other great guys. We really enjoyed our round and time in the 19th hole, food good, beer cold. Staff very friendly, and electric carts are a big plus over gas anytime, quick and quiet. Course layout among beautiful homes and condos, very picturesque. View of Ohio river on back nine is one of the best in entire Cinti area. Woods, lakes and overall layout is excellent.

Great course!

Aston Oaks is easily one of the best public courses in the city. Challenging and beautiful layout, and touchscreen GPS on every cart. Can't go wrong for the price as well!

Aston Oaks Has Arrived

I've been playing Aston Oaks Golf Club since its inception in 2000. It has always been a nice enough course with minor issues. We have played there twice this year so far. It is in the best condition it has ever been in. Almost every tee box, fairway, and green is in incredible condition(a few areas are ok, but not bad by any means). The beauty of this course has always been prominent(views, trees, layout, challenge), but now the course has matured and could rival any of the best public courses in Cincinnati. If you're near river rd. and shady lane in three rivers check out this West Side gem of a golf course.

First round of the year

I love this course. It plays long and difficult. The weather has been horrible this year but the course was in great shape. The fairways were brown, but I believe that is the type of grass they planted. Greens were hard due to te frozen ground, but you can adjustto hit the front of the green and let the ball roll back.

Best course in the area!

Over all this is a great course! Restaurant and staff do a great job. Some of the cart paths could use some attention but looks like they are on it and have completed repairs between hole 13 & 14.

Challenging with good looking holes

You won't get around the place quickly because it's difficult and you have a few drives from hole to hole that are a half mile. With that said, it's a nice course and worth the drive.

15 mins behind?

I played 2 other local courses recently for less money that were in better shape. Mud on some of the greens, but for the most part was course was in "ok" shape. On the 12th hole, our GPS told us we were 15 mins behind and playing too slow. My fault b/c i am just learning started shooting 120's in June now in high 90's lows 100 for 18 holes, golfs a tough sport. I played with 3 guys one scratch golfer, 2 others that avg. mid 80's. One of the Starters rolls up in the middle of my friends back swing and demanded us to speed up play or he would make us skip a hole. He also said the group behind us called the club house twice to complain, good for them. He got in our heads a little bit, all playing farely well up until that point. I play golf to have fun, relax, get away from everyday stresses like my commisioned sales job, and sometimes my wife. Half the time we could not tee off b/c of the group in front and we finished the course at 12:00 noon, started around 7:30 am. Glad i golfed this course 3 times this year, wont happen again. If you want to relax while playing golf dont go to Aston Oaks, or play speed golf. Plently of other great courses to spend my money on. One of the guys in the staff, drill sargeant Rick, is the opposite of "super friendly." Learn how to treat and talk to paying customers.

Excellent Course with Great Layout nestled in a nice community

This was a great challenging course that sat in the middle of a beautiful community. Beautiful setting and the integrated GPS system on the carts made it a great experience. Well worth the money, even if it was all you can play after 5pm....

Fairways and Greens in good shape, but water in most bunkers

Overall, challenging course with some neat holes close to Ohio River. The fairways and greens were in good shape, but most bunkers had 2-3 inches of standing water in them. There was some rain in the last 48 hrs, but would have expected the bunkers to have drained. We got a good rate at golf now, but wouldn't pay >$25-30 to play here.

Nice course w/ cart GPS

Course was in good condition and has challenging holes.
Pace of play was slow on back nine due to an outing that shotgun started about 45 min ahead of us.

challenging golf holes and great views

the course was in very good condition with "slick" greens. Several of the pin placements bordered on being unfair. The surrounding properties made the round of golf even more enjoyable.

course staff is working hard

course maintenance staff were everywhere, mowing, watering, and spraying . . . almost to the point of interfering with play. On three holes staff had to turn off fairway sprinklers so we could play the hole. Lots of mowing but it must have been quite awhile since last mowing as the grass clippings left behind, both in the fairways and on the greens, were an annoyance. You had to clean up the area surrounding your balls or clear a path thru the clipping left behind on the greens in order to putt. Glad to see they were working hard on the course, but could have been done at a less busy time of day. Overall, course was in OK shape.
