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.

Aston Oaks is a special course

Great golf course with properly trimmed fairways and rough. Greens were challenging but surface smooth and packed. Golf cart all with touchscreen scoring and GPS mapping for distance and had green terrain mapping. Great course for value. Holes are far apart and some fairways narrow. Good for intermediate or advanced golfer. May be too much difficulty for a beginner. Loved it!

Majestic Golf Course

Truly a course designed to give you the best of golf. From the challenging tees to the true rolling greens, Ashton Oaks provided a balanced challenge with gorgeous views. The practice facilities are great, and the clubhouse and golf carts are top notch. I will definitely grab the fellas for a round and drinks soon.

Great Course

$40 on the app. Can’t beat it for the money. First time playing here. Some of the greens could have been kept nicer but that falls on the players. They were also very fast on the front 9. Layout was challenging but nothing crazy. Great elevation as well. Will definitely keep this course as a go to on the west side of cincy.

Poor shape with slow play

To start with the positives, the greens are in some of the best shape I have ever seen at Aston oaks. The positives end there. The pace of play for a Tuesday morning was very slow (~4:45) due to a single foursome that was never made to move faster nor let the multiple groups of 2/3 behind them play through despite rangers driving by multiple times.

The rest of the course was also not well kept. At least three holes were cart path only presumably due to the terrible shape of the fairways and the rough had many uncut areas where the grass was too long to find a ball one step off the fairway. I have played Aston oaks many times in my life, but I will not be back again this summer.

Great course if you want to be rude and play as a group of 16. This course USED to be top 5 and barely cracks the top 20 for public golf in cincy. Needs a lot of work especially on the back 9.

Slowwwww, but still a GREAT course

You get a couple nice days in December, and ya, it’s gonna be slow. The course had a ranger, a starter, and things seemed organized. That said, almost a 5 hour round. I’ve played here a number of times and haven’t seen this before. What I kept trying to focus on was the layout conditions and the top notch treatment of the staff. I live a long ways away, so I’ll have to say out the situation in terms with Funtime of year and whether it’s a day ripe for overplay, because virtually everything a good player wants from a course is found here.

Tee Boxes

The course was in good condition. The only detail that seemed subpar were a number of tee boxes that needed to be trimmed. The grass was almost rough condition at a nicer course. That struck our group as odd, especially on the par 3 boxes. Aside from this, greens were in good condition. Staff is always friendly.
