Rough Friday!!! Photo submitted by BC21 on 10/05/2012
sweet place, most play !
So cool lay out and nice rolling greens. Loved it and will be back soon
Great views, great value
This course is challenging, has beautiful views and a very friendly staff. An under-appreciated gem in NKY.
Early Spring
We played on the first day of spring so the turf wasn't great, but in a few weeks I'm sure it'll be perfect. The staff went out of their way to make sure our experience was top notch, and the prices make this course a great value. I anticipate playing there many times this season!
the greens are perfect and the faiways nice the rough is rough lol
I love this golf course it is challenging to the first time visit for a average golfer. The beginner should not pay this course.
Very fun/crazy hills
Only able to play the back nine twice but the employees gave me a rain check for the front nine. Good people and the rate of play was good. Great conditions.
You don't get what you pay for
We decided on this course because it was near our house. Played it 4 years ago and didn't remember liking it. Still don't like it. Surprisingly OK condition-greens punched a week or so ago, so slower. Fairways were hit or miss. Layout is embarrassing. Tee shots over greens? Dog track at its finest. Staff is surprisingly unfriendly. Hackers galore. And pretty expensive round. Save your money (and time) and go to a different course with fewer hackers with a reasonable layout.
don't waste your time
had a 3:52 tee time, got there 45 minutes early to check in and get ready, we paid and pro shop said come back 10 minutes before your tee time to get your cart we don't have any available now. There were at least 20 outside the pro shop but I get it they want to keep people teeing off closer to their tee time and thats fine but don't give carts out to people who have later tee times than us, not 1 group but several groups that we then had to wait on due to slow play. Course was very tight and wooded and hilly doesn't even begin to describe this course but decent condition overall. Staff not very friendly or helpful. Built in 1922 and it looks like it
Devou Course is great
I love playing this course. It does play a little hilly all the way around, but it is the hills that make it challenging. If you are just learning to play I would recommend playing a different course, but for intermediate golfers and above it is a great place to play.
Hills...oh those hills!
Very good test of golf! Deep cut rough and many chances for hitting from side hill lies leads to a challenging round. There are some dramatic elevation changes and blind shots here that can be punishing ! Tough to walk! This course is set in a beautiful park with bluffs overlooking downtown Cincinnati and Covington. Friendly staff, fair pricing, a good place to play!
Horrible condition
This course was in awful shape. The fairways were brown with bare spots all over, and there were drainage problems on just about every hole. I don't think anyone fixes there ball divots on the greens. I've played this course before but I will never play it again. Don't waste your money...
Good course, close to city
Even though we had rain for the entire back 9, we still had an enjoyable day of golf. The good: fairways and greens were beautiful! Perfect grass. Watch out for Hole 4; it's a killer.
The bad: clubhouse from the 70's and smelled like old smoke, cart paths in serious need of attention. Carts were dangerous for the hilly terrain; electric carts with electric brake, so when heading downhill and coasting, the back wheels lock which puts you into an immediate slide. Saw several other golfers skid onto two wheels while on cart path because of the downhill braking thing. Could also use a little more groundskeeping. The important parts, though, (fairways and greens) were good.
Great fairways, perfect greens.
This course is short and hilly, but in immaculate condition. There is not a better public course within 500 miles, and I've played them all.
Challenging - target golf
Greens punched week before play and not yet mowed made putting very difficult. Cart paths in disrepair - many "off-road" type experiences.
Some beautiful holes and views of downtown Cincinnati.
Devou Park Golf Course
Devou is a beautiful and challenging course. It had been years since I last played here, but glad I did this last week. The greens and fairways are in great shape for late summer. I will say that the cart paths are in moderate disrepair and the clubhouse needs major renovation. Still a great value course overall...
Great Fairways...poor Cart Paths
Great course for the Money........Nicely Maintained and really fun to play.......Best Fairways I've EVER seen.......... the Zoysia grass is Insanely Lush and really well kept........Outstanding playability!!
The course was challenging at times.
Having a tee time at 12:48pm should not mean that my group should start our round at 1:30pm. I understand a golf scramble was occurring, but waiting an extra 40 minutes for my round is not something I was particularly pleased with.
Beautiful course and view of city
Course and greens in great shape. Not a long course, but tight.
Excellent established course
Always enjoy playing here, friendly, helpful staff, the course is in great condition when we played, and the greens are a pleasure to putt on, fast, but true.
Great Day of Golf at Devou!
We had a great day of golf at Devou today! Course is in great shape, greens were immaculate. Somewhat challenging, but a lot of fun. Beautiful scenery and views of cincy and the river. I would recommend playing now while the course is in such good shape.
