Aston Oaks Golf Club


About this course
Aston Oaks Golf Club sits in North Bend, Ohio, a small community along the Ohio River west of Cincinnati. The course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in the late 1990s as part of a residential development. The property occupies rolling terrain characteristic of southwestern Ohio, with elevation changes that provide variety in shot-making and strategic interest throughout the round. The Nicklaus design incorporates the natural topography into a layout that emphasizes positioning off the tee and approach accuracy. Fairways move through wooded corridors and across open meadow areas, with greens that feature the contouring and bunkering typical of Nicklaus's work from this period. Water comes into play on several holes, and the routing takes advantage of views across the surrounding landscape. The course serves primarily as a private club amenity for the residential community. North Bend itself holds historical significance as the birthplace of William Henry Harrison, the ninth U.S. president, and the area retains a quiet, semi-rural character despite its proximity to greater Cincinnati. Aston Oaks functions as a neighborhood club, offering members a Nicklaus-designed course within a residential setting that blends golf with the wooded hills and river valley landscape of this part of Ohio.

Getting there
Aston Oaks Golf Club lies in the wooded hills west of Cincinnati, most easily accessed via Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, roughly forty minutes to the southeast. The drive northwest traces the Great Miami River valley before climbing into the rolling terrain of southwestern Ohio, where suburban sprawl gives way to farmland and forested ridges. This is quiet country - old Ohio, where the approach roads narrow and the canopy thickens, delivering guests to a secluded enclave that feels far removed from the interstate hum of the Tri-State corridor.
