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.

Course In Bad Shape

We played 18 holes on 6/25. Course was in sub-par condition. Tee boxes were half grass, half dirt/weeds. 100 yards out from the pin was a muddy mess on 15 out of 18 holes. Greens had numerous divot marks (20+ divots per green).

They must host a ton of outings at this golf course or they just do not maintenance it anymore like they used to.

I would give our last outing a 3/10. For $50 a round I would expect more from this course.

Good course, Bad condition

Greens are the worst I’ve seen in the city, Looks like there’s no care to them other than mowing. Tee boxes are not great either. Fairways absolutely full of divots. This course has so much potential but it’s not worth the price. Nicklaus would be ashamed to see it in such condition. $70 on weekends is way too steep, Elks Run and others at that price point look like Augusta compared to here.

Value for the money

GolfNow offers a great rate for this course. Overall the course is in pretty good shape. There are some bunkers that need work, so hopefully everyone stays out of them. There are a couple fairways that need attention, but for the playnow rates, I’ll be back.

Poor Condition

I’m expecting to pay $70 on weekends but not worth it here. Used to love course. Fairways have crabgrass or something else growing out, not turf. Greens ate up.

Plenty of better options at that price.

Great course. Thick rough

Golfed here a few times but this is the first I think in optimal weather conditions. Did not realize how thick and healthy the tough is. Ball can be sitting on top or down in it. Very fun to play. The greens are in great condition but very hard to read as lots of hills in different directions. Not an easy course to say the least but sure is fun.

Most of the course was in great shape. There was some evidence of aeration but some of the rough, bushy areas have been cleaned up.

Don’t play this course

Slowest golf I’ve ever played, terrible conditions, greens have WWII tranches dug into them, the bunkers are terrible, the guy in the pro shop recommended a chicken quesadilla if we were playing because it was easy to eat, it indeed was not easy to eat it was greasy, sloppy, and just disgusting to eat in the cart.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the aspects of your visit that did not meet your expectations.
We closely monitor the pace of play with our GPS system, and on the busy holiday Saturday you played, all groups completed their rounds in under five hours, which is typical for such a day.
Your feedback is valuable to us, and we hope to provide a better experience on your next visit.

Beautiful course!

Played the front 9 on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The course was very crowded. I considered turning around and going home. I'm very glad I didn't! I was a single player paired with a threesome that didn't show up so I was given The green light to play alone behind a foursome and I had to wait a few times to tee off but the pace was great for as busy as it was. The course is in great shape I'll be going back!
