Tight track, very hilly but lots of fun! Can score low if you play it correctly! Will play again next time I visit Cincinnati!

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.

Difficult yet beautiful

It was a surprisingly beautiful course, tucked away in Northern Kentucky, with a beautiful view of Cincinnati. It was surprising how many trees there were, but yet no shade on such a hot day. The course layout is nice, but they could use some more signs to point you in the right direction to find the next hole.

Rolling Hills!

We are in town and wanted to play a course that was not too far so, we played Devou. The course was in good shape with rolling hills, blind shots and elevated greens. The fairways are tight and the greens are in great shape. My only bad remark wouldn’t be some of the tee boxes were in need of repair.
