I am looking to play a round of golf the weekend after memorial day in Cincinnati. Anybody have any suggestions?

$50 or less with a cart. I don't need to play the best, just looking for a nice course to play while I have some downtime.

THanks

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Blueash Golf course. Tight and nice. 30 greens fee. I walk
Vineyard golf course, tight, 34 greens fee.
Elks run 59 with a cart. Also have twilight for less. This is the one I would play.

I play the first two often and they are well maintained and challenging. Elks run is a pretty cool tough course.

Shaker Run is high but very nice.

Legendary run is nice. Great fairways, tees, greens are a little bumpy. Cut short and because of play seem to be not as true as the first two.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think the three courses we were considering were

1. Kings Island-"The Grizzly" 2. Hickory Woods 3. Sharron Woods I believe we are staying in the Loveland area. How do the courses you suggested compare to the courses I have listed? Would you recommend to play or stay away from any of these three? I am checking with the people that are hosting us to confirm it's Loveland, and if so, does that change your suggestion? again, thanks for the advice.

Try Cedar Trace. Shaggy around the edges with greens that are hard to putt.
About 35 miles east of Cincy.

Second vote for the Vineyard, very challenging, but very nice and priced good to. When I was younger I played Winton Woods a few times and then it was nice, same park district as the Vineyard so it should be good also

Thank you everybody for the suggestions. I am pretty sure we are probably going to end up playing Sharon Woods. It sounds like a nice course and is close to where we are staying (Loveland)

Just got back from my weekend in Cincy and its a very nice city. We ended up playing Sharon Woods. For $40 with a cart (we decided to ride after a night of drinking and a 6:47AM tee time) I shot a 99 with alot of problems around the green. Its a great course and very much target golf. On several holes I was just off the edge of the fairway and found myself with nasty up/down hill lies. I enjoyed the course, and will be playing it again on my next visit.

    • I enjoyed the distance wedges episode. It's something that I've not really taken the time to figure out for sure, but I went to a local trackman place over the winter and tested my four wedges (PW, AW, 54, 58) and got four yardages with each one. I am using Dan Grieve's method - you have a 1, 2, 3, and "full". The number references the number of clubhead widths between your heels.  I never really got to grips with the clock method - I'd find my 9:00 one day would go 40 yards and the next day 60 yards purely based on how fast I happened to swing it, but I couldn't turn that off and I was basically at sea with the speed method (Wesley Bryan does this - he takes almost a full swing for a 15 yard chip). The Grieve method I set my stance width and that really limits how much my swing moves back and forth and the speed seems to be naturally more consistent.  Anyway, I wound up with four yardages for each club - PW 48, 80, 112, 127; AW 41, 73, 101, 112; 54 36, 57, 91, 98; 58 28, 47, 81, 86 So, in order, I have 28, 36, 41, 47, 48, 57, 73, 80, 81, 86, 91, 98, 101, 112, 112, 127 which gives me a pretty good set of numbers. I do have a big gap from 57 to 73, but I can do a 2.5 58, which is giving me about 64. Then as they noted you can give it a bit more, or grip down on a club too to adjust a little bit. It's really useful and very freeing to just know what to do. When you have a 54 yard pitch, rather than pulling my 58 and thinking how hard is 54, I can just take my 54, do a "2" swing and just grip down a little and I'm in decent shape.  Incidentally, Erik talked a bit about watching Scheffler picking off his yardages to within a yard. I've watched DJ do that too with his wedges. Scottie does it trying to hit it all the way up to like 200 exactly with a 6-iron and he's hitting it 200.5, 199.7, etc. Absolutely mind blowing how good his distance control is. Insane.
