Rating 63.3

Avon Fields Golf Course is one of the older golf courses in Cincinnati, where it sits on picturesque land that rolls along fairways lined with trees - and it's easily accessible to downtown. The golf course provides tests and good times for golfers at all levels, with elevated and diminutive greens for those who like to play short golf, as well as those who need more practice at it (for those who need more practice in general, the Jimmy Woods Learning Center is onsite).

Avon Fields Golf Course provides 18 holes of par-67 golf over 5,081 yards. Tee off on a par 4 that plays to 369 yards. The course is short compared with megacourses being built elsewhere nowadays: About a third of the holes come in at under 200 yards, even from the Blue tees, while only the fourth hole, the lone par-5 hole, stretches to over 400 yards from the Blue tees.

As the Avon Fields Golf Course is a municipal golf course, expect affordable green fees, and those who can swing a round of golf during the workweek can expect them to be even lower.

Awful Staff Treatment

I’ve been to this course twice now and have had awfully poor experiences both time. The course itself is very poor and very poorly maintained with a lot of mud patches on the fairways. To top it off the staff, especially Ron Dumass, treated me and all my players very poorly and with lots of disrespect. It was Easter and we were kicked off the course for no real reason. We were told to play faster even though we had no groups behind us and I was teaching my friends how to play. We were told we were being watched on cameras and taking to long on each hole. We were told it should only take 8 minutes to play each hole which is extremely unreasonable. I really don’t recommend this course to anyway for a good golf experience.

Below average

Every time I come to Avon there is some issue. Today it was cart path only, but only on the back. So you gotta walk the front for no reason. No discount on the round offered. Staff is generally unfriendly. Today the manager couldn’t figure out that I prepaid on this app.

The course itself isn’t in terrible shape, but the cart paths are ROUGH. Carts themselves have little giddy up.

Small things that could make this course so much better. The top item being friendliness.

Please fix this

The head PGA coach threatened to call my golf coach because I told him not to yell at some highschool kids because he believes they had drinks in there cart( which is not true) after 2 holes of playing I was kicked off and told I was not allowed back for not playing to pga collegiate rules (???????) since I was using my rangefinder with slope(??) I'm not sure I feel as if I was targeted since I fought with him earlier about the highschool kids but c'mon, he is going to be the downfall of this course, it's sad since I have been playing here since I was little and Ever since he took over the places has changed
