California Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The California Golf Course sits on land that slopes gently and offers a nice view of the Ohio River; however, this course ain't just pretty to look at, but laid out to play in a manner that will test seasoned golfers and welcome novices to the friendly golf course where the trees are old growth.
California Golf Course provides 18 holes of par-71 golf over 6,227 yards. A round of golf kicks off on a par-4 hole that plays to 367 yards from the Blue tees. Because this is one of Cincinnati's longer municipal golf courses, power golfers will appreciate the chance to open up their games a bit more, with about a third of the holes measuring over 400 yards from the Blue tees, including a pair of par-5 holes, the second and ninth holes.
As the California Golf Course is a municipal golf course, expect low rates, and those who can swing a round of golf during the workweek can expect them to be even lower.

course always in good shape
My only problem they let a group five go out they wouldn't let anybody play through. group of five should never go out.
Slooooow play, rough & poor course conditions
2nd time here, and haven’t made it past 15 yet. So incredibly slow. 5 hours at 14 was again too much to bear., especially on a course like this. On a positive note, The greens were smooth and ok. But an awful lot of just bare dirt and weeds everywhere. Tee boxes half grass, and very beat up. Bring a helmet out here - over half the fairways had folks playing a different hole in them. Maybe not fair but it seemed to be a place where bad players come to get drunk outside. The guy in front of us played with a horses head on… yup. Starters were nice, but no one out to see what’s going on. Not returning, cannot reco this to anyone who cares about actually playing golf.
Great course.
First time here. Best golf course I've played in the Cincinnati area. Fairways are in great shape. Roughs aren't so rough that you can't find errant shots. Trying to figure out my schedule to play here again.
Only played 9 holes
Could not finish my full 18 holes only was able to get nine in because my buddy just wasn’t motivated enough had to leave for work…
Stormy Weather
Aside from almost getting struck by lightning California is a good public course to play. The course layout is pretty good. If I hadn't found a good deal on the GolfNow I probably wouldn't play there because I think the regular fees are a bit pricey. Plus they don't offer a veteran discount like most other courses do.
Would have been nice to know ahead of time they had the back 9 closed for maintance!
course great, DONT USE GOLF NOW!!!!!!!

Fantastic course
Geeens are fast, clean, kept up. Very nice views. Staff is very friendly and helpful
Play here if you need a shower
This was the worst experience on a golf course that I have had in quite a while. Played 18 holes with a cart which took 4-1/2 hours which isn't terrible but had to wait on every shot for groups in front. The worst part was that on 13 of the 18 holes my playing partner and I were dodging sprinklers -- both fairway watering and also on the greens. So this went on for over 3 hours of our round. Fortunately, it was 90 degrees out but still not fun. Also the golf cart needed to be stomped on the gas pedal at least three times each time we wanted it to move.
Carts, sprinklers and lack of communication.
We had to wait a half hour for a cart as they were all out of carts. Starters were friendly but did not tell us we were supposed to start on the back nine, had to overhear it from another golfer. Starter said we were to join with another twosome, so waited on the tee and after a long wait, finally checked with the proshop to find out the other twosome decided to go home because of the cart delay. Finally, as we were about to tee off, they started the sprinkler system getting us soaked.
