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.

Cart path only?

I love playing Aston Oaks but was surprised to find that only 2 of the 18 holes with off the cart path. There are several holes that do stay wet due to the many changes in elevation on this course but there were several holes that were fine but still had to stay on the cart path. I understand it was early in the season and the course was using precaution. Still, even with mostly cart path only......still finished our round in about 3.5 hours

Fantastic Course

This is a gem of a course. The layout is fantastic. Many elevation changes, but does pose too much of a challenge. There is a great hole with a perfect view of the river. It was wet and cold when I played and the green speeds were still quick. They do a great job managing this course and it always looks in perfect condition.

Love this Course

Really enjoyed this round of golf. The staff was fantastic and made the experience fantastic. The course was in great shape. The greens were in good shape but ... The pin placements were placed in challenging spots. Loved it. LOL. Great time!

Course Condition

Just be prepared to shoot higher than expected because of the greens. They are in a huge need of some help. Probably every other green had multiple ball marks all around. Love the length and layout but man it’s frustrating

Nice Course

Fun course. Don't want to be too harsh with how dry it is and recent outings but it was pretty beat up around the greens. Carts are great with awesome technologies in place. Overall great course.

Course Conditions

Course is getting a lot of play and it shows. Lots of divots in the fairways and tee boxes. There are lots of ball marks on the greens and a true roll is hard to find with all bumps. Layout is good and still a favorite of mine and I guess this is what to expect in late August.

Should be criminal to charge $70

Overall the course is horribly maintained. Almost all tee boxes completely overgrown with weeds or patchy. Ball marks all over greens making them unplayable. Fairways, fringe and green run ups all in terrible condition

Course isn’t even worth $40 Tee Times

I live right down the street from this course and used to play it all the time.
Normally I’d say it’s a great track, and in years past that it keeps up in pretty good condition. However, it’s seeing way too many outings every week this year and people have clearly not being repairing their divots. Course is in terrible shape!
I do my best to bounce around to different courses to switch it up and these are the worst greens I’ve seen this year and it’s not even close.
Neumann see’s the same amount of outings per week, and is significantly in better shape, and is cheaper.
