Disappointing, Aug 21, 2007

reviewer: Anonymous from Montclair, NJ

I was very disappointed with this course. The greens were horrible and a few fairways were a mess too. Feels like a county course but costs twice as much.

Enjoyable course, May 21, 2007

reviewer: Jim from Wyckoff NJ

It is a very nice course with a great layout. Relatively secluded (no condos and fairways are not parallel to each other) and speed of play is good. Usually in very good condition, although the fairways are not "spongy".

Fun course in great shape. Play moves swiftly thanks to very professional and helpful rangers. Website tee time feature. Nice golfing experience for the money.

Twin Hills Golf Course
"Short and well maintained"
Twin Hills is a short course - 6000 yards according to the card, and even that might be a stretch. The game starts on the greens here; they are among the most difficult in the area because of the undulations. The best holes are the par 3s. The facilities are barebones - no proshop, small and dated clubhouse. No frills golf, but they seem to have course maintenance down to a science.

Shawnee Lookout Golf Course
"Beautiful, Scenic, Challenging, HILLLLLLYYY"
I have played this course several times when traveling to the Cincinnati area and have found this gold course to be most scenic. First few holes are easy.. but this just to draw you into the ambush of trees, hills, water and rough that lie ahead. Very fun course to play. Nestled and secluded right in the corner of where three states meet, with views of the Ohio river and Great Miami River.

Pleasant Hills Golf Course - The Pleasant Hills Course
"Ok for begginers"
The Cypress is a great course for biginners and those wanting to just brush up on a course. Being all par three, you do not need more than a 7 iron. It is very inexpensive but then again, you get what you pay for. The holes will sometimes befilled with water and the greeens full of mud. But it can be good relaxing fun.
