Aston Oaks Golf Club is perched atop rolling hills that overlook the Ohio River Valley. The Jack Nicklaus Design Group created the course, which sits on the former land of President William Henry Harrison. Although his presidency was short lived, traces of his legacy in Ohio can be seen throughout the golf course. Each hole was carefully carved from stands of mature white oak, hickory, and other native hardwoods. The course is tight and demanding with fast greens and plenty of elevation changes. The abundance of trees really characterizes the course. Between the 10th tee and the 11th green, there is a giant Buckeye tree that is the largest in the state. With all of the trees lining the fairways there was hardly a need to add bunkers, but there are some incorporated along the greensides that help to define some holes.

Slow pace

1130 T time and knew we’d be pushing it to get 18 in by 330 when we had to leave to make it to work but pace of play was terrible. Wehad to leave the course at 3pm only playing 14 holes Would have been close to 51/2 hours to conolete Never saw a ranger and had serval very slow groups in front of us. I love the course, but it’s hard to justify 5 hour plus rounds on a Tuesday midday

Great views of Ohio River on a few holes. Much too hilly to walk. Very good course for price. Go a couple of times each year.

Beautiful course

Beautiful spring day to play golf. Great value for the money. Spread out through the hills and trees with view of the Ohio river made it very scenic. Only problem was that the greens had been aerated and it was tough putting. Other than that, it was a fun round of golf.

Aston Oaks

Course was in poor shape. Tee boxes were awful, fairways were half dead and had large water run offs. Some parts of fairways were all mud/dirt. Yes early season, but other courses that are not as nice are in much better shape. Hope they figure it out soon.

Good shape

Got stuck behind a slow 4-some last time - very annoying, why are people so reluctant to let faster people play through? This time was better. Course was in good shape. I like the challenging nature of certain holes.

Top 10 in Ohio

If your looking for a golf course to test your game, then this is it. I've played alot of courses all over Ohio and this one is definitely in the top 10 probably top 5. I love courses with elevation changes, scenic views, and holes that garner a WOW factor when you stand on the tee box.

Excellent Course

On a lark, decided to drive 90 minutes on my off day to play a course near Cincinnati. Had played area courses in the past, but thought I would give this one a try. I am glad I did. Very challenging but reasonably so. Forces one to think through the round and is not for a grip and rip only golfer. Only minor issue was the in cart GPS could do better at giving distances to hazards like water and sand traps. Other than that, everything was almost perfect. Look goreard to playong it again.

A lot of ground under repair

It was aeration day today and pace of play was slower than normal. Quite a few holes had bad areas and ground under repair. Really like the course and the layout, it was probably in better condition earlier in the season. Had an issue with the group behind us hitting into us on a couple holes, but we couldn't go anywhere as we were waiting for the group in front of us. Will have to go back again next year.
