About this course

Camargo, a bastion of Cincinnati golf, stands as a testament to understated elegance, subtly revealing its challenges and rewards to those who embrace its nuanced character. Carved into the rolling hills of Indian Hill, this Golden Age parkland layout, originally crafted by Seth Raynor, presents a strategic examination of shot-making and course management. The course favors players who can shape the ball, with doglegs and strategically placed bunkers demanding thoughtful approaches, while the elevation changes test club selection and stamina. Later refined by Arthur Hills, Camargo retains the spirit of Raynor's bold design, offering an engaging experience that has quietly captivated generations of members. While not a regular fixture on professional circuits, the club has proudly hosted prestigious amateur events, solidifying its place as a respected venue for competitive golf. Camargo cultivates a membership deeply rooted in tradition and camaraderie. Stories of historic matches and closely guarded club lore are passed down through the years, creating a palpable sense of belonging. It is said the men's grill is a hotbed for not only securing games but also discussing local politics. The Club’s timeless appeal is further enhanced by its signature cheeseburgers served at the halfway house, which are as much a part of the Camargo experience as the challenging par-3s.

Getting there

The Camargo Club sits in the rolling horse country just north of Cincinnati, most easily reached via Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), roughly thirty minutes south by car through the affluent suburbs and into the verdant landscape of the Ohio River valley. For those arriving by private aircraft, the nearby Cincinnati Municipal Airport (LUE) offers a more discreet alternative, positioning guests mere minutes from the club's gates. The final drive winds through tree-lined lanes and past the gentleman farms that define this corner of southwestern Ohio, a quiet transition from urban bustle to the understated elegance of one of America's most venerable and private golf clubs, where membership remains among the most selective in the nation.
