SCORECARD

GOLFSCORECARD

Losantiville Country Club was originally founded in 1902 and the golf course was designed by Tom Bendelow, who is recognized as the most prolific of course designers worldwide and a pioneer in establishing and growing the game in America. Bent grass tees, fairways, and greens greet the players and are always kept in pristine condition by our Director of Grounds, Tom Judd, and his team. The course plays longer than its posted length due to the rolling hills, uphill approach shots, and doglegs that the golfer encounters. The green complexes are small and are a challenge to hit. Once on the greens, the golfer’s skill must really surface, as most are sloped from back to front, some severely so. With green speeds at an average of 10-11 on the Stimpmeter, putting becomes an art form. The course is a stern test of championship golf, which has hosted numerous prestigious events including the Ohio Open, the Ohio Amateur, the Cincinnati Metropolitan Championship, and the United States Pro-Am. Major champions such as Jack Nicklaus, Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Bobby Nichols, and Hale Irwin have won tournaments held at our course.

HOLE 1

The Early Bird - Par 5

Like many great golf courses, the first hole at Losantiville Country Club eases you into the round with a birdie opportunity right out of the gate. A double dogleg par 5 that’s reachable in two for the long hitter, most players should favor the right side of the fairway from the tee and play their second shot up the left side in order to avoid being blocked out by the trees. A large tree and bunker protect the front right part of the green, so missing left is not the worst thing to do. As with most greens at Losantiville, number one slopes from back to front.

HOLE 2

Blue Heron - Par 3

The beautiful and challenging number two is perhaps the signature hole at Losantiville Country Club. A mid to long iron is required for most players to reach the green. A small pond and creek line the front and left portions of the green. The green slopes from back to front as well as from the right down to the water.

HOLE 3

Fathers & Sons - Par 4

Number three is a mid-length dogleg left where players send their tee shot down into a valley that prohibits the view of the landing zone. The second shot plays uphill and the green is protected by a front bunker. A shot missed left of the green will go down into a steep valley that makes a par save extremely difficult. The green is sloped from the approaching players right to left.

HOLE 4

Luckyduk - Par 4

Hole number four is a short dogleg right and most will use a fairway metal or hybrid club from the tee to keep their tee shot short of the fairway bunker on the left. The fairway is sloped heavily from right to left making a well-struck tee shot a must to keep your drive in the fairway. Accuracy is more important than distance on this hole. The green slopes from back to front and is guarded by a bunker on the right. It is imperative to keep your approach shot below the hole as downhill putts on this green have the potential to roll out to the front of the green.

HOLE 5

Par 4

No. 5 is a short and tight Par 4 that runs straight up a hill. The fairway bunker is a good tee shot target to allow for the best angle into the green. A player would be wise to choose a club for their tee shot that stays short of the bunker. The green is miniscule, sloped heavily from back to front, and is defended by two large bunkers.

HOLE 6

The Fence Hole - Par 4

Number six is a medium to long dogleg left par four that features a substantial elevation drop approximately 180 yards out from the green. The slope goes down and to the right, so tee shots that carry the hill must land on the left side of the fairway to avoid kicking into the right rough. The front of the green is open to a running approach shot while bunkers surround the rest of the green.

HOLE 7

Eagle Eye - Par 3

Seven is a moderately long uphill par three. One bunker protects the front right of the green. The tee shot plays about a half-club uphill, so choose your club wisely. The green is relatively small and like most greens at Losantiville, slopes from back to front.

HOLE 8

In Beauty Lies Treachery - Par 4

The most difficult hole at Losantiville is a straight, moderate length par four that runs down into and then up out of a valley. Two centerline fairway bunkers make accuracy a premium on this tee shot. The green is well above where players hit their approach shot from and is guarded by a small, deep front bunker. Distance control is a priority as the slope of the green is quite severe, maybe the most severe green on the course.

HOLE 9

Arnold's Doggy Leg - Par 4

Nine is a long dog leg right Par 4 that again runs into and out of a valley. The landing area is very narrow with trees on one side and a creek on the other side. The ninth green is protected by two bunkers to the left and by severe back to front slope. A shot played short of the green is preferable to being above the hole.

HOLE 10

Fuhgeddaboutit - Par 4

Ten is a short uphill Par 4 that runs parallel to the ninth hole. The fairway is guarded by bunkers on the left and a large tree on the right. The green is well protected by several bunkers in the front and is severely sloped. Players would be wise to leave a full shot into this green as the substantial elevation change makes stopping the ball quite difficult.

The approach shot plays about a club uphill while the green is protected by a slight false front and a bunker on the left. Take your par and run!

HOLE 13

Vista - Par 4

The aesthetically pleasing No. 13 is a short to medium length Par 4 that runs downhill from tee to green. The hole turns gently to the right and a drive avoiding the fairway bunkers is crucial. The green is guarded by two bunkers but will accept a run up shot.

HOLE 14

Finish Strong - Par 4

As the shortest par four at Losantiville Country Club, number fourteen is all about precision. An iron or hybrid club from the tee will leave a short iron or wedge into a slightly elevated, diminutive green that is fronted by bunkers and is heavily undulated.

HOLE 15

Redbud - Par 4

Number fifteen is a medium-length dogleg left par four. Fairway bunkers run along the left side of the fairway before a pond abruptly ends the short grass. Driver may be too much club for long hitters, but a shorter club must be accurate. For those who cannot carry the green in two, there is plenty of room in front to run up your approach. A bunker protects the green on the left side and a steep slope on the right protect the green and snare errant approach shots.

The Long Game! - Par 5

Number sixteen is a long, narrow, straight par five. The landing area for your tee shot is narrow and out of bounds runs the right side along Langdon Farm Road. A three shot hole for most players, the longer hitters will need two great shots to reach the green in two. Bunker complexes protect the layup area and the green. As is the norm, the green runs from back to front.
