About this course
The Falcon course at Kittyhawk Golf Club in Dayton, Ohio, is a Robert Bruce Harris design that serves as one of two eighteen-hole layouts at this private facility in the Miami Valley region. Harris, a respected architect who has worked extensively throughout the Midwest, created a course that works with the gently rolling terrain characteristic of southwestern Ohio. The property features mature tree-lined fairways and water features that come into play on several holes, typical of parkland courses in this part of the state. Kittyhawk Golf Club takes its name from the aviation heritage of the Dayton area, home to the Wright brothers and their pioneering work in flight. The club offers a traditional private club experience with both golf courses providing members with variety in their regular play. The Falcon course complements the club's other layout, giving members options for different playing experiences and competitive formats. The routing incorporates the natural contours of the land, with elevation changes that add strategic interest without becoming overly demanding. Harris's design philosophy typically emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining enough challenge for accomplished players. The course features a mix of hole lengths and configurations, with doglegs, strategically placed bunkers, and green complexes that reward thoughtful approach play. The conditioning and maintenance standards reflect the expectations of a well-established private club in the region.
