Golfer Reviews
Hope the work being done pays off
Nice to see the cart paths and hole #1 are being re-done. Could care less about a new club house though. Got stuck behind a slow 3-some that wouldn't let us through. Course was in pretty good condition - greens were very good, fairways good. Impossible to walk this course. Some blind shots make it difficult. Found a really good deal on golfnow but wouldn't pay more than $25 to play here. Love the views.
Tight fairways/ Temporary pro shop
The course has very tight fairways, it is fair to moderate for play. shorter par 4, easy to 220 yd drives with 160 or less for greens. but challenged with hilly lies and a few blind greens.
Also spent almost as much time in cart between tees as on course- rather erratic hole layout
Leave your driver at home.
This course in insane. Between the up and down and left to right roll of the fairways you are either hitting a blind shot just about every time or a shot that will not stop rolling until it's off the fairway. It makes play very unenjoyable. Course was in very good condition with good views of the river and downtown Cincinnati but I won't be back.
Cold golf beats no golf!
It was about 29 degrees when we teed off. Made the first few holes difficult. Overall, the course was in ok shape. Fairways dying out for the year, but greens were in excellent shape. Fun round, despite the temp.
Fun and Challenging
our foursome was pleasantly surprised by the course and conditions. Very challenging with elevations changes on every hole. The greens were pristine and rolled true. We appreciated the course book supplied by the friendly staff. Give Devou Park a try if you want a unique golf experience.
Target golf at its best
At 6200 from the tips most golfers can leave their driver at home. The zoysia fairways are a luxury to play from and the greens were in great shape. The rolling hills of northern Ky. provide an excellent setting with a couple of spectacular views of downtown Cincinnatti. The holes are shoehorned into a confined space and if play is heavy (which it wasn't on our round) dodging incoming could be a concern. The hilly terrain and the distances from green to tee make this an arduous walk. Success here is a result of accuracy not length.
Devou rookie
Staff was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly. The course is by far one of the bar maintained courses I've ever played and one of the more challenging. Tight fairways, forced carries and plenty of shots that will test your skills. Very hilly, so be prepared to do the math to figure out your best club to attack. A must play.
Great Course, nice views, and fun time
I played early on a Sunday morning with my father. Neither had played the course before. It was a nice surprise from what we expected in Northern Kentucky. It was a fun course, with picturesque views and shots throughout the course. Tons of elevation changes, but still vary playable. It is not a super difficult course, as long as you keep it in play, which requires most players to play to landing areas rather than just blast the driver every hole.
Views of downtown, the Ohio River, and Ohio, plus scenic views of the course made it a great experience.
My only complaints would be its been its not easily walk-able and its a little short, but with the tightness of the course shorter length makes it more playable.
always fun at devou
The staff is friendly and the course is always in tip top shape. A little bit pricey but still worth it
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.
