Highly recommend for your beginner to average golfer

I'd recommend this 9 hole course to anyone visiting Ohio University. Pace of play was enjoyable. Flat but challenging with bunker locations.

Could Be

Could be a lot nicer with any attention to the course. Challenging and nice layout. Geese, no sand in sand traps, and just not well kept. If they hire someone to manage it then it can easily be improved.

Waste of time and money

Course is not taken care of. Tee boxes are almost unplayable. Bunkers are solid rock. Greens are filled with sand and missing grass. Would stay away from here

University owned… they do not care

This course is abandoned and not taken care of. If you want to putt through land mines, mountains, and enjoy chunks missing from the greens. This is your place.

Over priced

Course is average for area. Overpriced for condition. Seems no one was taught how to fix a divot on the greens. Never seems like it is in the best condition it could be. Overall not a horrible course but better places to play for the cost.

Nice course for locals.

Course is a mile from my house. It’s great to be able to golf so easily. It’s not a phenomenal course, but it’s not too bad.

Cons: -The fairways/greens are jammed pretty tightly on Holes 4, 5, and 6…which can make peak golfing days a bit treacherous.
-Many of the sand traps tend to be “unplayable”, if the weather has been consistently too hot or too wet.
-There’s no “pro shop” or place for golfers to hang out before or after a round….

Pros: -Course maintenance has improved greatly this year (2023) and the fairways/greens are in the best shape, this late in the summer, that I’ve seen in 15 years of golfing at the OHIo U course.
-The course is not boring. Plenty of trees, sand, and bends. The Hocking River splits the course. It has just enough difficulty to keep it interesting, but any golfer at any playing level will enjoy themselves on this course.

Bottom line: An inexpensive, easily-playable, (and very appreciated) community course. If you’ve never played at Ohio U Golf Course, you’ll really enjoy it!
