Deer Track Golf Course

Deer Track Golf Course in Goshen, Ohio, is a public facility designed by Phil Burress, a regional architect who has contributed several layouts to the Cincinnati area golf landscape. The course sits in Clermont County, roughly twenty-five miles east of downtown Cincinnati, in a setting that reflects the rolling terrain characteristic of southwestern Ohio. The property features wooded corridors and elevation changes typical of courses built in this part of the state, where natural topography provides both strategic interest and scenic variety. The layout incorporates the native hardwood stands and creek corridors that define much of the rural landscape around Goshen. Burress routed the course to take advantage of these natural features, creating holes that move through varied terrain rather than across uniformly open ground. The design emphasizes playability for a broad range of golfers while using the land's movement to create shot values and visual interest. Greens are typically elevated or protected by natural grade, and several holes require carries over low-lying areas or approach shots that account for slope. As a public course serving the eastern Cincinnati suburbs and surrounding communities, Deer Track functions as an accessible option for everyday play. The facility caters to local golfers seeking a straightforward round in a wooded, parkland-style setting without the formality or expense of private club golf. The course remains a fixture in Clermont County's recreational golf offerings, providing a layout that respects the natural character of its Ohio setting.
