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.

Great course normally

This was the late April so needless to say they might not be ready for normal season yet. Ball washes weren’t out yet or coolers as well as some under construction areas. This time when we went they where over booked. It took at least 5 minutes or more between finishing 1 hole to teeing off on the next. I only played 9 thank goodness. It took 3 hours for 9 holes. I still would recommend this course. I will play again for sure.

Good course to play for cheap.

If you are looking to just get a round of golf in and don’t really care about course conditions or a bunch drunks yelling all around you. This is the course for you. Tee boxes are rough, if you hit out of a fairway, be ready to play in either dirt patches or a bunch of dandelions.

Perfect weather

slowly improving

This course is starting to look better. The new superintendent took over last year and the course was beginning to show signs of neglect. They have worked on the irrigation system which will help keep it looking green longer in the dry months. they have removed many dead trees, filled in some barren and damaged spots. They are working on the sand traps and they look better than the last 2 years. The fees ar pretty much the same this year as last. they have purchased some newer and more reliable carts and are trying to find more at a reasonable rate. Still friendly as ever but plan to add staff for starters and monitor the condition of the returning carts for damage. Too much mischief last year left many damaged w/o accountability. The staff is monitoring cart and course usage to try and cut down on abuse so it will stay in good condition all year long. Good golf course for the price.

Could be a great Golf Course

Staff needs to manage teetime for single golfers. Combine them! Make foursome! We let 4 individuals pass through separately and r this slowed us down and we waited each time and this upset the other players. Otherwise, the rating would have been much higher.

Enjoyable public course

Course was quite wet, but it had recently rained. Greens and tee boxes were in good condition. The course layout was fair and the greens had plenty of challenge. I enjoyed the holes on the back 9 that incorporated the large hill.

JR offers a fair conditioned reasonably priced public course outside of Dayton.
