BEAUTIFUL COURSE!

Pros: Maintenance - This place was in great shape.
Shot Variety - Everything from Water, Elevation, distance
Tee Signs/Teepads - I think a few of the teesigns were missing, but have cement Teepads.
Beauty - The holes in the back 14-16 are some of the best looking wholes with the creek behind it (although can be dangerous for some)

Cons: Some of the holes in the back could be fairly dangerous from the creek.
the lack of 500+ holes could be a con for some however not for me.

Other Thoughts: Honestly, This makes my top 3 courses. It's very fun, and a great course to give you some pride without being too easy.
Hole 15 is one of the best looking holes I have seen(late spring when I saw it)
I played with people who showed me around, so I noticed some people saying it was hard to find your way around, but I didn't notice that at all.
Very Close to Idlewild, it seems these two are a must play combo.

Report this Review One of the most fun courses in D. Golf
Pros: Fun Fun Fun. A blast for the pro...not too scary for a beginner . Beautiful park, well maintained, Interesting topography that is well utilized. Nice pads, Easy to follow even your first time. Nice mix of open holes and woods holes.One of my very favorite courses. A must play if you are in the area. (Idlewild is about 20 min away)
Cons: Can't really think of many. I suppose that if it is really wet out it could be a bit muddy on some of the woods holes. There is a fair amount of walking and the last 5 holes bring you up a fairly good sized hill so if you are not healthy or if you are impaired physically this may wear you out a bit. (but I like the hills). This course is fairly popular in the area so sometimes there can be lots of other golfers out. But this has never been too big of a problem for me.
Other Thoughts: Love this course, Great job by the park in caring for it.Great job by the designers. More courses should be like this one. On a good day a good golfer can shoot a 40 but could also shoot just a 52 if you are off a bit. I have witnessed some good players low scores on the front nine go brutally south on the back nine... Love this course.

Really good course
Pros: Lincoln Ridge is a nice park with a good course. It has all the shots, short and long, left and right, wooded and open, up and down. It also required a less spoken trait which is touch. On hole 14 if you're long you're done and even if your short you better not let it get on it's side. It has all the maintenance right, good teepads, good signs, good baskets, practice baskets, personally i found the teepads pretty easily and there were some people saying that was a problem. This was an all around great course.
Cons: There is just something that separates really good courses from great courses and this just didn't quite make it there. I played Idlewild the same day I played here and there was just something about it that I can't tell that made Idlewild better, that's why I couldn't give this a 5.
Other Thoughts: Lincoln Ridge Park was a great course that I really wish wasn't 4 hours away. I've played it twice and still don't feel like I've gotten it's experience in full, I think the more I play it the better it will get. (it felt better the 2nd time) I would wait and play it again before reviewing to get the full experience but I doubt I'll ever get the chance to play there again. But if I'm ever back in Northern KY I know where I'll be heading.

Everything I expected
Pros: -Great variety of shots. Some long, some short, uphill, downhill, tunnels, open bombers, you name it.
-Approachable for newbies, and a challenge for experienced players. I played for the first time with my young inexperienced cousin, and my brother of similar experience as myself (10+ years). We all had a great time.
-Multiple static pin placements are great. Play to one basket, go back to the tee (as long as it's open, of course) and play to the other!
-Makes excellent use of the land. The holes spread out all around, and make use of the hills and creek to give some wonderful views from the tees.
-Beautiful scenery all the way from Turkeyfoot Rd. to the 24th basket. Even better in the fall.

Cons: -Lack of "next tee" signs make first time navigation a bit tricky without a guide. Luckily, the course map in the media files on an iPad solved that.
-One hole was missing a tee sign.
-24 holes? Why not 36!

Other Thoughts: Wonderful course. From the first tee off to the final putt, I had a smile on my face. The creek holes were picturesque, even when I managed to hit a tree and wound up in said creek. Very playable for all skill levels. Great shots are rewarded, and short shots are usually in 'ok' shape. Get off the path, and you'll be forced to pull off small miracles to make par. Loved every minute, will return.

Lincoln Ridge - Another Cinci Gem!!!
Pros: We had driven 10 hrs from Mpls/St Paul the day before to tackle some of the Cinci area courses and I knew this one should not be missed! I had played this course a year earlier on a road trip but it was raining and I couldnt get the full enjoyment out of the course. This time it was perfect, 65 degress, sunny, light wind and nobody on the course! Do the locals not know whats in their back yard!
Fairways: were in great shape and well maintained, looks like they had plenty of watering as they were still lush green as of Oct 9. The mowers were just coming through (a huge area to mow may I mention) making the course look pristine.
Rough: at Lincoln Ridge was well placed and usually managable. Many holes have dense woods risk, drop off risks a few water risks towards the end. Not knowing the course and no locals being around meant that we sent one guy ahead to spot on many of the holes to ensure a round that didnt break 4 hrs.. Many holes will gobble up your discs if you are a first timer or dont have a spotter.
Elevation Variety: was phenomenal. The coures starts off with two long downhill heiser shots. Penty of space to bomb it without risk however the approachs go into the woods slightly. From there the elevation goes down into a valley and along side some of the ridges. A nice river/stream flows at the bottom with nice rock ridges and small drops. Cool scenery and good photo ops here. The course has plenty of uphill hikes and shots that require accuracy and patience. No doubt a few shots are going to take a long roll downhill. Playing during the fall makes loosing a disc under some debris/leaves a scary reality, but thats the risk we take to play this game.
Length: was just about right. Took two of us about 3 hours. Not too long that you're throwing your arm out of socket every hole and needing 4 bottles of water to get through the hike. But dont get me wrong, there are plenty of difficult holes here that requre strength and good placement. The course is just about right if you want a good workout, challenge and mix of holes and still have some energy for another round.
Use of Water: towards the end of the course the holes encircle a small pond. The placements when I was there were in places where the water posed absolutely no risk which was a bit dissappointing. There is also a small far pond on 16 and 17. And the little stream running through the mddle of the course but doesnt pose any "loss" risk.
Course Beauty: is fantastic. Set among rolling hills in the countryside outside Cincinatti. The course meanders through and around a small forest on the grouds of a well maintained public park. No trash to be seen, plenty of cans, and wonderfully maintained.
Overall: Phenomenal design with pin placements that are simply FUN. The course requires an arsenal of shots to score well. This is a must visit if you are in the Cincinatti area (along with Idlewild and Mt Airy). Fantastic course that is now in my top 10 played. Cant wait to come back.
Signs: Fairly well maintained and well marked. Lengths do not match the scorecards in all cases. Pars seemed to be a bit off on some holes. We played them all 3 for simplicity and increased challenge.
Tees: concrete and in good shape.
Ease of Navigation: Simple layout that is relatively easy to follow. A map and simply directions make navigation a bit easier but they arent mandatory.
Lost Disc Potential: Moderate
Other: Free!

The water on the "water holes" unfortunately do not pose much if any risk of disc loss. Was hoping to have my heart beating faster when I stepped on the teepad for the water holes... But they still look cool.

Lincoln ridge
Pros: Great course but not for beginners. Long holes. Acurate drives are important!!! Lots of hills . The holes by the creek can be very challenging the first time.
Cons: Some holes are hard to find for firsttime players.
Other Thoughts: Great course and very challenging.

What a Jewel
Pros: I went expecting a good disc golf course, I found a great disc golf course. Definitely one of the best in the Cincinnati area, and in any area. It has a good mix of long and short holes, some beautifully maintained fairways, some primeval forest, and some holes right on the edge of civilization. I will take this trek any time. At times I felt like I was on Avatar. What an amazing experience.
Cons: I really have nothing negative to say. I didn't give it a 5 because it doesn't quite compare with a couple other courses I've played, and I leave the 5 for only those rarest of rare courses.
Other Thoughts: I enjoyed this course more than Idlewild, though it is great, and not quite as much as Mr. Airy.

An intermediate's Dream
Pros: *Fun, beautiful, and challenging
*Course has everything and more
*Everything you want and more out of a course
*Great beginning and ending holes (especially ending)
*Has WOW factor
*Has tons of replay appeal

Cons: *Sometimes there are back to back holes that seem almost identical
*Can be crowded

Other Thoughts: I loved this course probably most of all during a disc golf road trip, even though I played idlewild before it on the same day, and lost to my friend on the last hole when he sunk a 150' second shot to win. This course is fantastic!!! I would probably rather play this course again than idlewild due to the difference in level of difficulty. I couldn't dream of shooting under par any time soon at idlewild, while I shot 5 under at Lincoln Ridge and thought its course was just as spectacular. I would play Lincoln Ridge again, whereas I would love to see Pros play idlewild.

Great Challenging Course
Pros: - Great use of elevation whether with big downhill shots or long gradual uphill shots.
- Concrete tee pads that are in good shape. Little to no slipping on them when wet.
- Will test all the shots in your arsenal from straight shots, slight, long and big high hyzers and anhyzers.
- Easy to follow flow to the course.
- Accuracy is needed for the creek holes(it's not fun climbing in and out of the creeks).
- You can be rewarded or punished going for some baskets due to them being on hill sides.
- Very little interference from cars or runners/walkers
- Grass is always in great shape.
- Benches every few holes
- People who play here are pretty good about calling you for lost discs
- Nice restrooms open during the summer months

Cons: These are few and far between
- Will be tough on beginners and rec players but still a fun course to play
- With there being many elevation changes and no grass on the creek holes it can get wet/muddy after heavy rains.
- Can be pretty busy and usually one or more groups waiting on hole 1(or at least every time I play there)
- Many people don't play holes 5 & 6 across the parking lot after hole 4, so you may get cut off on hole 7.

Idle's little brother
Pros: One of the most well-rounded courses I have ever played. Short to long holes, alternate tees and pins and great course maintenance. These are just a few of the reasons that make this course a local favorite.
A huge factor in rating a course for me is public interference, of which this course has very little. You never have to throw across any walking paths or worry about flipping a disc into oncoming traffic. (holes 2, 3 and 22 are only a slight exception of which traffic is extremely sparse on the right side of each). The park is extremely peaceful with no loud highways or picnic shelters on the side of fairways. Despite it's respective remoteness, Banklick has managed to be within decent distance of suburbia and still avoid being overrun.
Sweeping wooded hyzers, steep dropoff shots, open-field headwinds, a variety of fairway elevations, narrow fairways and long bombs are all included in the arsenal of throws you are required to make for a good score here. The mix of scenery is also a huge bonus for this course: the lower holes border a rocky creek, middle holes are tentative woodlands and the upper holes are sparsely wooded fields with beautiful rolling hills and a few ponds (both dry and wet.) The OB's are present but subtle. They are relatively easy to avoid but still add a challenging factor to a minority of holes.
Many holes have benches and most if not all have proficient tee signs and fairly accurate distances and pictures. Trash cans are present and tee pads are perfectly sized.
Lastly, I have never struggled to find a parking spot here.

Cons: The only reason this course is not a 5 Disc Rating in my book is because I don't leave in bewilderment at how amazing the holes and course design are. I do however leave in awe of the beauty of the course.
Also, afternoon DGer traffic can be heavy at times but never too overbearing.
Also, afternoon DGer traffic can be heavy at times but never too overbearing.
Other Thoughts: Early morning is the best time to go. The course is beautiful in the morning sunlight with the dew still on the grass.
Be careful on the lower holes after a heavy rain, it can get muddy but not extremely sloppy.
Difficulty level: Intermediate to Advanced. This isn't a mind-numbing Idlewild, you can bring your recreational friends and they will still enjoy this course but it does have some more advanced shots so that all skill levels can enjoy playing it.
Lastly, spread the love. Call numbers on found discs, encourage people to check out this course and participate in leagues and tournaments if possible. This course is not only great for Disc Golf play but for the Disc Golf community as well.
Enjoy!
