Not a fun day

Place was booked solid. No starter/ranger. Slow play. They let a 5 some out . Greens were just airated and NOT rolled. Putting was unpredictable! If I was informed about the greens, I would have played elsewhere.

Didn’t get to play

Showed up 15 minutes before my tee time to a line of 15 carts waiting at the first tee. An hour after I was supposed to tee off I still hadn’t started so I left and went to the driving range

Fun and challenging course

I’ve played Devou several times since moving to NKY and it has become a local favorite. The course will make you think out your shots on several of the more challenging holes, but provides a few opportunities to crush a driver to reach the green on a par 4 on a few others. Greens and fairways are always in the best possible shape. Fantastic view of the Cincinnati skyline on one of the par 4’s. The staff are always friendly and the facilities are very well maintained. All around a great place to spend an afternoon.

Always a good time at Devou

I love playing the front nine at Devou. It was cold and a bit wet out there but the course was in great condition all things considered. The greens are some of my favorites in the city and the staff has always treated me well.

Poor staff and poor course quality.

Several tee boxes are trashed and the ground staff are extremely rude and disrespectful

Has not rained in quite while. Therefore it is playing super fast. Which isn’t bad at all. Greens are in fabulous shape.
