Very Fun and Challenging Course!

Devou Park Golf Course isn't the longest course you will ever play but it certainly knows how to challenge you. The layout is beautiful, and you are surrounded by lush forest, giant trees and changes in elevation on nearly every hole. Only a few mins from downtown Cincinnati, you will also be treated to some of the best views of Cincinatti and the surrounding area from many of the holes. My compliments to the greenskeeper - the fairways and greens were immaculate!! Definitely found my home course!

Difficult course if 1st time playing

Every hole is up or down and rarely do you get a flat lie!! Lots of slope on every hole that has to be accounted for. Course was in great shape and with playing a few times would be more pleasant!!!!!

A fun course

Relatively a short course, just one par 5 and three par 3s, with most holes either down hill or up hill.

Greens are in good condition, but fairways need more watering and some tee boxes need maintenance.

Really interesting design

Love this course. It’s very short tipping out around 6000 yards for a par 70. It defends itself with tight fairways and blind shots. It forces you to play less than driver on the majority of holes or you can end up on brutal spots. The course was in great condition, the greens were a little slow but very healthy otherwise.

First time and it was a pleasure!!

First time here. Since the moment I got there I was treated really well by all the staff.

As in other reviews , challenging course. For me the holes 4,5 and 6 were the most challenging, the back nine are easier.

Bring balls because several will be missed.

Will be back and I recommend it.

Better hit em straight!

Warning: the only flat spot is in the parking lot! Devour is a beautiful course tucked in Northern Kentucky hills. Views are way above par! The rolling hills and valleys create a challenging layout. Cutting through trees, the fairways are narrow and landing spots are prime real estate. None of this detracts from the course but does make it rough if you can't hit a straight ball. The greens were in very good condition and they have sneaky breaks. I had an enjoyable afternoon, didn't score the best but without hesitate to schedule another tee time at this scenic facility!

Perfect round

I have nt played the course for 2 years or so. The quality has improved a lot. It is a very challenging course in terms of tight fairways and lots of hazards, but I love how its not too long from the white tees.
