Elks Run Golf Club, Batavia, OH

Nice course worth the $

Played this course for the first time. First of all the staff was friendly and helpful. The clubhouse looks a little bare on the inside. Not a very big selection of items for purchase. I was able to tee off pretty close to my scheduled time, just a little bit late. After playing the front 9 i was satisfied with the course. No really excellent stand out holes but still a good course. But the back 9 stood out a little more to me. The back nine has a creek that winds through and is a part of most of the holes. I liked that the back nine played more in the woods with trees on each side of the holes. As far as maintenance i was very impressed for the time of year. All greens were in good shape and fairways were also. As far as price i can not complain because i booked my tee time online at a very discounted price. I would def play it again.

If an employee is going to post a review like the last one.(Brian Alderson sales manager), they should at least use a fake name. The course has improved a little bit. I don't think it will survive it's been 2 owners and bankrupt twice in the last 5 years I don't see anyone jumping at the chance to be the next one, I think the bank will be stuck with it for quite a while. Look for conditions to go farther down hill as the bank get tired of losing money on it.

Great course clearly under new management b/c read all the review before playing it and it was fantastic. Go back there asap and you will be very surpised as to how good it is now.
