Rating 70.8

Jamaica Run Golf Club offers one of the most challenging layouts in the Miami Valley. The difficult greens provide most of the trouble. They are small and hard to hit and on many holes they are elevated above the fairway, making it hard to play a run-up shot. The bentgrass fairways are spacious and thankfully more forgiving, but they are bordered by thick rough. Water hazards come into play on several holes. There is even one hole that crosses the meandering creek that runs through the golf course twice. The par-5 18th provides a memorable finish, requiring a tee shot past a large pond to a fairway that sits well below the pond. Finding the right club to use and a good spot to hit are nearly impossible.

The course is in a little rough shape.

A lot of the tee boxes have been moved off the platform to the side. A lot of bare spots in the fairways. Other than that it was good.

Cheap, quick pay on an outdated course

The fairways are pitted, patchy, and have bare spots all over them. The sand traps haven't maintained, And you hit your tee shots from the weeds next to the tee boxes. No pro shop. Course layout is decent. Wide open in most spots. Shoot the gap through the trees in the other spots. The creeks dividing the fairways are almost exactly where my entire group could drive the ball. Definitely fell for trap of those a couple times. For a cheap round of quick golf this is a decent course, but don't expect country club level course maintenance.

Clubhouse personnel poor communication!!

We scheduled our tee time a week before and when we got to the course 1/2 hour before our tee time on Saturday we find out that they had a fundraiser tournament starting at 2:00, our tee time was scheduled at 2:22. The clubhouse personnel told us that they would “fit” us in! Yeah right, this was a shotgun start. The course should have canceled all afternoon tee times on GolfNow, that way we would have scheduled elsewhere. We left the course without playing and got lucky to get a tee time at The Practice Center in Franklin. We have played this course earlier this year and the pace of play is really bad!! We will never play here again and will Not recommend either. My husband and I play all year round and try to play as many courses as we can. This course will not be on our list!

Not as bad as previous reviews say.

This isn’t a PGA level course but it’s not bad. The greens are good and the fairways were nice. The only issue was the tee boxes. There was only 3-4 tee boxes that were unkept and grass was really high. It felt like I was trying to set my tee into the rough. Overall a decent place though for the money. Can’t beat $20 to play 18 holes.

This course is a nice well mature course

The course is well taken care of as far as the greens and fairways some of the tee box areas are not marked. Some of the signs need to be replaced. Some of the sand traps are as hard as concrete. All and all its a nice course great staff at the clubhouse but I would like to see more merchandise in the show room. I would rate this course on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it a 7. All and all I like the course very demanding.

Staff

The staff members are not friendly! The course is ok, but nothing special! When people playing ahead of you are playing slow, no reason to yell at us to speed up. With the rain the course was muddy and we get told to not park by the greens, which meant we had to walk through water and mud to get to the green.
