Johnson Hills Park

"Good course, not beginner friendly though. Probably could stand to have a few trees taken down on some of the holes to make the fairways a little more defined but still have challenging gaps."

"Tee pads need work, few long holes through the woods have no real path just gotta poke and pray. Not for the faint of heart but decent course."

"Hard course but really well maintained and a great layout."

"An extremely difficult wooded course with unforgiving rough, tons of trees to hit, and signage/navigation issues. It’s a nice park though."

"Hard"

"Beautiful course, definitely not for beginners. Once you enter the woods it’s a must to have someone spot for you. Very fun overall"

"If you haven’t played here in a while, it’s a bit more difficult. Different basket locations on 1,2,4,5,6,7,9"

"Nice course! Hit a few trees! "

"Really nice course! Definitely a hard course to score on, but surprisingly easy to keep your discs on the fairway and not lost in the rough. Definitely bring a friend to spot though. This course is a hike. "

"I enjoy playing here. Holes aren't easy, but they're fun. "

"Course design leaves much to be desired. Most holes walk back along the fairway you just played to find the next tee. No real flow among holes, lots of walking back and forth. Most holes are blind shots in a fairway that does not shape the way the tee points. Tee signage is very very minimal and needs improved. Navigating this course without a gps map would be very difficult. Tee pads are in good order, and the shot variety is nice, although it’s hard to even tell what you need off the tee."

"Lots and lots of holes where you cannot see the basket from the tee pad, which is bad when there are multiple basket locations."

"Great design. Technical but possible"

"Unless the weather has been perfect and dry for a couple weeks the turf tee pads become slippery unkempt mud pits, basket maps are illegible because they are non-laminated paper left to the elements, basket positions are not notated at tee pads which leaves you to guess which basket is in play (except for the couple you can see), Overall the course is a cool place, but the upkeep leaves something to be desired. "

"Challenging course. Tee maps should probably be laminated instead of just paper though"

"Excellent use of the terrain. Missing signs everywhere though."

"Very nice!! Not necessarily beginner friendly but very fun time "

"Very nice! I like!"

"Very technical and lots of up and down, but a fun course nonetheless. There are a few holes that could use some better signs."

"My home course after they ruined woodland. It's a great course and will improve your scrambling "

"Nice challenging course, mostly straight holes even if you can’t see the basket. Well manicured."

"The course was very challenging "

"Some fairways a bit unfair"

"Plenty of trees, but a really enjoyable course"

"Leaves everywhere. Crazy"

"Beautiful course. Well designed and well kept. "

"I think the course is nice and a good challenge. However, it would be nice if the baskets were white or a bright color so that you can see them better when you are in the woods."

"Love it! Great course."

"It’s pretty nice course over all. For intermediate players and up. One of my favorite places to go. "

"Very hard"

"Nice wooded course. Pretty challenging for casual players. Not good for beginners if you want to hit par."

"Excellent course design. Lots of different types of throws required. Punishing OB. Many double bogies, yet birdies are awarding! Even a couple ace run holes… which are easy to bogie. Great baskets! Tee pads were slippery. The short layout brought me to a lot of the long tees. Well maintained course and beautiful property!"

"Very hard. "

"Awesome park, just tried for first time in May. Love the creek and gap shots."

"Some muddy spots but great altogether. Super technical fun course"

"Beautiful design. Lots of trees! "

"Lost disc on hole 13. Shiny blue and red innova. Text (513) 340-3479. Thanks"

"Needs more trash cans and signage. Tough shots but a lot of the same shots. Tough. Tough but fair. "

"Delightfully challenging course, pretty easy to find your way around, nice variety of shot shapes and use of elevation. A bunch of the long tees are not maintained at all and need some work."

"Extremely tight fairways with lots of trees and dense underbrush. Unless you’re playing this course real early or late in the season expect to spend a lot of time searching for discs. Beginners should probably avoid this course, everyone else you only play this if you don’t get frustrated easily"

"Really nice hike. Tight fairways. Discs were relatively easy to find if off the fairway but a little difficult to get to with the undergrowth."

"Up and down course but in excellent condition "

"Trees are a little too much. I got ace so it made up for the course."

"a bit muddy "

"Great course. Many straight narrow holes that will test your accuracy. Freshly rotated pins - Long position."

"Awesome. Front 9 is solidly easy but the woods holes are great. Beautiful park. Back nine is harder but gorgeous. You really feel like you are deep deep in the woods somewhere. "

"Course is tough for average player like me. Very tight, lots of trees. Still enjoyable none the less. "

"Wet in the woods"

"Very tight wooded course "

"Adud"

"Lots of trees, but nice! "

"Great course, well maintained. Lost my D-Model OS here. Inked, let me know if you find it! "

"Really nice technical course. Needs better signage bc a lot of baskets are not visible from tee. Need trash cans on course. Cans and bottles everywhere along the course mostly in a pile next to tee pads. 5 stars for the course-1 for the lazy slobs leaving their trash everywhere."

"Fun course. Pars are earned, birdies are phenomenal "

"Great signage! Muddy in a lot of areas. A long walk from 18 to the parking lot though but overall really enjoyed it for my first time"

"Hole 15 IS NOT hole 14! Watch Udisc. Too many luck shots through trees. Good layout, great signage. "

"Pretty challenging, mostly wooded course. A fun one!"

"Need to add a better walkway for some of the holes near the creek. Very steep and muddy."

"The back could possibly be tweaked a little. A few less trees on some highly congested holes,. Something should also be done about the hole where you can make the mando, but can still hit another tee"

"Fun course, nice pads, hard gaps "

"Intermediate to Advanced level course….tee pads are turf but well kept. They do take on mud as expected when wet. Baskets are top level. Wonderfully designed and maintained with multiple pins. The UDisc needs updating as it does not match tee signs on the course of pars and distances. "

"Well maintained, great woods, hole 9 definitely a lefty hole. Watch feed for dropped seeds, they’re ankle rollers "

"Course plays fantastic but course pars could be adjusted."

"Great course for advanced players. Woodsy skinny fairways. "

"Layout is nice. Signage for navigating between holes could be better. The rough is rough. Easy to lose discs if you get off the fairway. Back 9 is not very friendly for carts. "

"Fun wooded hills with some challenging designs. The pars are just right for me. "

"Nice challenging course. A few holes could use some tree clean up."

"Tough course. Lots of trees!"

"Course is in great shape, has a good mixture of wooded and open shots. Played in about two hours. "

"Real tough course. Better with spotters"

"Definitely a challenge. One of the toughest courses I've played. Out of roughly 40 in the area."

"Beautiful park and is well kept. Have only been twice. I could see it being muddy if it has rained recently but you are out in the woods after rain in that situation so nothing you should not expect. Grounds guys were out laying down tons of mulch to help out. This is a very technical wooded course outside of the first couple holes. Super fun and challenging without needing to have huge distance, just control and both backhand and forehand shots. "

"Average but challenging. Tee pads were dangerously slick. Hard back 9 in woods"

"Nice Overall course. Very muddy and tee pads were slick. "

"Lots of leaves falling so keep an eye on your discs. Love the technical lines, good course."

"Can be challenging, wooded holes are fairly technical, but not insurmountable for a beginner. Biggest problem is that the wooded holes dry out very very slowly. Mud is a big issue if it has rained recently. Worth a stop for sure, though. "

"Good course but not fun to play alone. Could lose a disc really east and some unique lines "

"Kept up pretty well and tee pads are pretty good. If you're really into wooded holes, this one's for you. I wish there were a few more open holes to crush some tee shots. I think there were 2 total."

"Good course. A bit muddy in some places under the trees, but it'll really test your shot accuracy as many of the holes are in the woods and require accurate shots to hit par "

"Awesome course, easier front 9, more technical and harder back 9. Nice variety on holes. Nice hike between tees when dry. Update: shout out to all the hard work on making alternate pin positions a reality on the front nine. Makes the course fresh, fun, and new. "

"Fellow fat people beware this course is a beast! Absolutely gorgeous course, with amazing technical holes! I wish there were more courses like this one! Can't wait to play it again!"

"Got stung by a bee on 2 but everything else was darn near perfect "

"Good hole design with some wooded and open and a few actual true par 4’s"

"Great open holes and wooded holes. You always want to go for the ace or eagle but neither are easy "

"Front nine is decent. Back 9 needs a lot of work. Be ready to search for discs if you’re off the fairway on the back 9, because you have blind shots or 12ft wide fairways with deep bush on each side"

"Well designed. Back 9 way harder than front. Fun for all. Intermediate course. "

"Awesome course to play Tons of technical shots Lovely wooded area with 2 open holes to start. Pars are perfect Should be played but anyone in Cinci/NKY area "

"Nice mix of holes. Need different throws."

"Really nice course "

"Be ready to lose a bunch of discs in the woods, don’t play here if it’s rained in the last week, layout is ridiculous, don’t understand how they decided to put some of these holes where they did. Will not be back to this course."

"Very challenging for the intermediate player but lots and lots of fun, i will definitely be back. The back 9 is new and there are still a few rough spots but they are in the process of improving the trails and fairways."

"Very wooded after the first 2 holes. It's a fairly new course. Back 9 just added 6 months ago. The tee pads are turf."

"Great, great course. Still a five star review for me but almost every time I’ve played I’ve slipped on teepad 11. Not sure why that one but no other teepad on the course. "

"Front 9 is pretty open. Back 9 is very wooded and very difficult. Fun course that is taken care of very well. "

"The. Ew back 9 is super fun and challenging with how narrow the fairways are"

"It’s hard to compete with Idlewild and Mt Airy but other than those; this is the nicest course I’ve played in Cincinnati. It’s wooded and difficult, and specially the back nine, but well maintained and fun!"

"The back 9 holes are full of beautiful woods and scenic tee shots. But bring your stamina, lots of ups and downs. The park and course look amazing overall."

"Very well kept and overall just a perfect selection of shots, a good test in the woods and very nice elevation change."

"Really fun course, but challenging. Different shaped shots on every hole. Elevation changes frequently, so bring your hiking boots. Would throw again. "

"Too hard for babies they can’t throw hard enough "

"Tightly wooded course. Great elevation changes. The path between 11 and 12 you need to watch out for discs from group behind because you walk backwards to get to the 12 tee. Great baskets and mix of open/tight wooded holes "

"Tightly-wooded with lots of elevation change and tricky lines. The first hole is deceptive, you can leave most of your distance drivers at home. Probably overkill for most new players, but good practice for intermediate and advanced players. The new back 9 is a nice addition, super fun."

"Tight fairways and elevation changes"

"Very difficult, technical course"

"Has the potential to be one of the top courses on the east side. Back nine needs severely broken in first. Overall nice course. "

"Great course! Tight lines, technical, lot of wooded shots."

"Drying out nicely. Very tightly wooded."

"Obstacles/trees provided a good challenge...a bit muddy and icey but it is winter soooo. Overall a good course."

"Great potential and technical holes. Needs better drainage, less muddy paths (mulch), and throwing pads could be concrete. Love the course, just needs a little polish and it could be one of the best in the area. "

"Love this course. They moved the baskets and didn’t really mark them on the signs. So check the basket location before you throw. Challenging spot!"

"A lot of the baskets have been moved. Some just a bit and others to a whole new location. "

"Has the potential to be my favorite course in Cincinnati area. Unfortunately with the mud it makes the course almost unplayable. Need to add some gravel or wood chips in some areas"

"Course is awesome and can’t wait until it is dry. Heads up the conditions are pretty poor right now due to massive amounts of deep mud. They should through down some mulch to keep it from eroding further!"

"In playable back 9"

"Pretty muddy on the new back 9, could use some gravel, and steps on the hills to help stop erosion "

"A real challenge both to one's game and fitness (and some luck). The new back 9 is incredibly challenging, and seriously, off the course and a couple of transitions from basket to tee not for those who lack fitness. "

"Still a little rough. It will be fine eventually. Still will come out and play as much as I can. Great 18-hole course on the east side, not too far out."

"Tough course, but great course once the back nine settles in it will be a 5 star "

"My home course and great for a quick round and practicing technical shots."

"Highly technical. Keep it up. Great course"

"Not easy but not too difficult. Not for beginners and will challenge the average player. 7 out of 9 holes are tricky technical wooded shots. You’ll be easily frustrated on an off day. "

"Short but very technical course. Love playing here. "

"Wish it was longer"

"Nice little course short but not bad "

"Nice and challenging "

"The updated layout is a real challenge. Great course and setup. Some big open shots as well as some difficult and tough shots that require some technical shaping of shots to navigate through the trees. Was a great 9 hole. Now it’s a fantastic and difficult pro level 18. Play this course. It’s worth it. "

"Great technical 9 hole course. "

"Not crowded. Quick to finish. Well maintained. Several ace opportunities. Fun mix of holes. Definitely a fun little course"

"Little muddy but very fun 9!"

"This is my home course and it is one of the best around. "

"Challenging & super fun! Love the wildlife I see while playing. "

"Great course, rumored to adding 9 more holes before Covid happened. Very fun course with a mix of everything!"

"Only Nine holes but Like it. Challenging and interesting tight woods holes with several fun ones.Lots of hills which makes some short holes tougher.Pretty easy to navigate. More holes would be nice but it's a nice addition to area choices."

"The front 9 was already outstanding. It was the best 9 hole course in the area, bar none. The back 9 is pretty fun as well. A very different style of play from the front 9. Be cautious on the back 9 right now as the wintry conditions have made it very muddy to the point of making it unplayable. It’ll get better with time. However, that doesn’t take away from the enjoyment of the longer more challenging layout. Get ready to hike! "

"Great course. Nice new benches were put in. "

"Nice little 9-hole course. Looks like people are slowly establishing a set of longer tees (3 so far I believe) and soon to install a back 9."

"Beautiful course, back 9 is solid but punishing. Extremely frustrating if you can't throw dead straight. You WILL fall down if it's even a little wet"

"Great layout and well maintained. Definitely worth a visit. "

"Well maintained wish there were more holes "

"This very technical course is great for challenging your finesse game. Be careful after a rain, there are some slippery areas in the woods."

"Sam tabor and ryan bracken played this course if anyone knows them."

"Short but technical. Plays fast has a lot of variety and very fun. "

"Update: Back 9 now open making for a long, technical course. Once lines to throw open up more and brush knocks down it will be much more approachable. Lots of elevation change, right hand turns, and trees. Be careful of discs with backtracking from baskets to tees. One of the best 9 hole courses I’ve played. Great mix of distance, elevation change, fields, and woods in a small course."

"Very tough for a beginner."

"Clean woods nice tee pads and baskets very fun"

"Great course fun. It is good practice for advanced players but has the ease for beginners too. Fantastic work keeping it very playable. "

"First time playing back 9 I loved it. I imagine it's a beast in summer "

"Much nicer than most 9 hole courses. Great course for beginners and intermediate players."

"Most tees in woods, not very hard but still a challenge"

"Beautiful. Well taken care of! "

"Extremely well maintained and technical course "

"Great new site. Trails through woods need some work so there not so muddy after a rain. "

"Nice course, some short but difficult shots because of trees and terrain. "
