Avon Fields Golf Course

The rolling Ohio hills southeast of Cincinnati create natural elevation changes that architect Rick Jacobson exploited masterfully, particularly on the back nine where a 60-foot drop on the par-4 14th produces one of the region's most exhilarating tee shots. Water hazards come into play on seven holes without feeling forced, and the bentgrass greens roll true despite heavy public play. This track proves daily-fee golf can deliver championship conditioning when management prioritizes course maintenance over quick profits.
