Devou Park Golf Course

Grew up playing here from time to time. Not a very long course but tree lined and very hilly. Fun to play and has a ton of character.

Oh, she’s a BEAST, but a pretty beast with views of Cincinnati, and the Ohio river. Given atmosphere and admitting she’s nestled beautifully within an almost surrealistic setting of arbor she is a hilly, intricately short, tight and unforgiving beast. Which makes the beast all the more fun to play, bring plenty of balls and play stroke plus distance off all tees. If you have fits of anxiety, are stressed out, uptight, think you got game for any course… stay home!

This course is more challenging to negotiate on the cart than with your clubs. It’s a hilly-​twisting-​rough-​steep-​psychotic roller coaster ride. Seriously, the course is challenging and has amazing views of Cincinnati and the river. I had a blast.
The club house needs serious updating. They ran out of ice too. 9^th hole burger was very dry.
Lost a lot of balls. Found just as many though! Broke even!
Overall, the course could be an award winning course. Just needs cleaned up and updated.

Worst Customer Service. Ever.
Understaffed, rude, and the Pro is a complete jerk.
The course is all right, but the customer service experience just makes it completely forgettable.
The only thing nice about my time there at the course was the starter. He was really friendly.
I’m not from the area (was there visiting friends that weekend). When I come back to Cincy with my golf clubs, I’ll guarantee you that I won’t be there.

It’s a hilly beast. Leave the driver in the bag unless the hole is wide open. Pricing is reasonable but you may lose $ 20 worth of balls in 18 holes with all of the trees and rough. The location is convenient for most of Northern Kentucky to get here, and it isn’t usually crowded.

Have you ever had a love-​hate relationship? If yes, then you’ll feel my pain in this situation.
Devou should be a fun little course to play. The overall layout is very intriguing and could provide you with a true test of skill.
But oh no, here come the hills. (and no, I’m not talking about that annoying cable show.)
This is the hilliest damn course I have every played. I used to think my high school course was up-​and-​down, but Devou takes it to a whole ‘nother level.
To top it off, Devou adds in trees, water and roads to make everything that much more «fun.»
When you play here, be sure to bring a lot of balls, and not just the ones in your… You get the picture.
All of those issues aren’t really detractors from the course, though.
The true problem is its condition. While the greens & fairways are OK, the clubhouse and the cart paths and all the other stuff needs work — a lot of it.
The paths themselves need better marked since you actually roll through some streets and parking lots. A lot of the holes are actually pretty far removed from each other, so you can get lost. (Happened to me once.)
The other problem is the price. I’m sure Devou once amazing at one point, and could be so once again, but charging $ 30+ mid-​week is just unacceptable.
My advice, play it once or twice a year if you find a good deal, but stay away unless you’re looking for pain.
