GREEN CREST GOLF CLUB

The rolling terrain of southwestern Ohio creates natural amphitheaters for golf, and this public track maximizes every elevation change with strategic bunkering that punishes wayward drives while rewarding precise iron play. Three par-3s demand different clubs and shot shapes, including a downhill beauty over water that separates the pretenders from the players. At under $60 for weekend play, it delivers country club conditioning without the attitude—a rare find in Cincinnati's competitive public golf market.
