Elks Run Golf Club sits in Batavia, a community in Clermont County east of Cincinnati, and represents Greg Norman's design work in the southwestern Ohio region. Opened in the late 1990s, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the area's transition between the Ohio River valley and the upland plateaus. Norman's routing takes advantage of the natural elevation changes and wooded corridors that define much of the property, creating a layout that moves through varied topography rather than imposing dramatic reshaping on the land. The design incorporates Norman's recognizable features from that era, including generous fairway corridors balanced by strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward precision in approach play. Water comes into play on several holes, typical of courses built during this period in the Midwest, where ponds and streams serve both strategic and aesthetic purposes. The property's tree-lined character provides definition and separation between holes while maintaining playability for a range of skill levels. Elks Run functions as a daily-fee facility serving the greater Cincinnati golf market, offering access to a designer-name course without the private club structure. The layout provides length and challenge from the back tees while remaining approachable from forward sets, reflecting the practical considerations of a public course designed to accommodate steady play. The course has hosted regional amateur events and remains a recognized option for golfers in the area seeking Norman's design philosophy in a publicly accessible setting.
