![]() ![]() A few holes have alternate pin placements.īelmont is the most popular course in the Dayton area this leads to several crowding issues: Good variety of short and long holes make for interesting ace runs as well as opportunities for long bombs. An out-and-back element for holes 6-10 makes good use of the space available. The flow of the course is good and easy to follow. Protection fences added to holes 6, 9, 11, and 19. UPDATE: All baskets upgraded to Veterans. Most holes have tee signs with adequate information - hole map w/alternate pin placements, distances, and pars. The baskets are in decent, but well used condition. Some holes have multiple pads for some added variety and challenge. The course sits directly adjacent to some soccer fields, and the course often hosts dog walkers and joggers.Īll pads are concrete. There is a moderate amount of mature trees, but no significant ground coverage. ![]() There are a couple hills and the elevation comes into play on several holes. Quite simply put, Belmont is a fun throw that anyone could come back to time and time again.īelmont plays in a mostly open, multi-use city park. Some minor proximity issues could become an issue when the course is busy, but again nothing that common courtesy can't alleviate. The tee pads are pretty worn,but nothing that's really detracting. The course does show it's age, and does have an overall feel that some fresh updates and minor maintenance could keep the classic layout in tact while providing a fresh feel. I can see why this is the most played course in the area since it's easily accessible for all types of throwers. Overall the park is fairly clean and the location seemed nice. It's a fun course that offers repeatable play, a good place to just get out and throw. Plenty of opportunities for fairway and distance drivers with ample amount of midrange length holes sprinkled in. Relatively straightforward in it's design, I enjoyed throwing around the mature trees and adjusting for the gentle elevation differences this layout utilizes. Distances vary, but are realistic for the more casual player while allowing advanced throwers opportunity to score low. The 19 hole layout provides very good variety throughout. Belmont is a true local course that stands up proud. There's this happy vibe I get whenever I'm immersed on a course in a city park that is a feeling all it's own. I've always enjoyed the classic park style courses with their rolling elevation changes and shot shaping around and through mature trees. As I stated there is a bulletin board/map near the first tee, so just look for that near the back of the parking lot. The park itself can be a little hard to get to, the entrance to the course is off of Highridge Ave. I would recommend this course to anyone in the area, if you only have time for one course in the area this is it. Some courses I like to avoid the crowds on, but most of the people I have talked to here were very friendly and respectful, true dg-ers on this course. If crowds don't really bother you visit whenever you can. The course can get very crowded on evening and weekends, so if you like to avoid the crowds as much as possible you will want to visit during the day. While the course is fairly open there are also some large mature trees that create obstacles and add even more challenge and beauty to the course as well. The are also a great mix of up hill and down hill shots which can add challenge to even some of the shorter holes. There are a mix of left to right and also straight shots. There is a map available online and there is also a large map near the first tee, so you should have no problem navigating if you have these. The course is fairly easy to navigate, however there can be a couple spots that are tricky. While the course can get very crowded most the people I have encountered are true golfers, friendly, helpful, and respectful, they way every course should be. There are a few trash cans throughout the course, and it has always been litter free when I have played, so please be sure to throw your trash away. My favorite hole is #9, you tee off a top a hill, basket is located across a little valley with the basket on top of the other side.Ĭourse is always clean and grass is always cut. They make great use of the elevation changes which is challenging and a lot of fun. It has a beautiful setting with rolling hills and mature trees. ![]() Other Thoughts: This is one of my favorite courses to play in Ohio. ![]()
