About this course
The Hills course at Community Golf Center in Dayton, Ohio is a public facility designed by Alex Campbell. Community Golf Center operates as a municipal-style complex serving the greater Dayton area, providing accessible golf to residents and visitors in the region. The facility reflects the practical approach to public course development common in mid-sized Midwestern cities, where golf serves as both recreation and community amenity. The course name suggests terrain with elevation change, which would be characteristic of southwestern Ohio's rolling topography. The Dayton area sits in the transition zone between the flat glacial plains to the north and the more varied terrain approaching the Ohio River valley, so courses in this region often feature moderate hills and natural movement across the property. Alex Campbell's design work typically emphasized playability and maintenance efficiency for public facilities, making strategic use of available land while keeping operational costs manageable. As a community-focused facility, the course likely serves a broad range of golfers, from beginners to experienced players seeking convenient, affordable golf. Public courses in Dayton have historically played an important role in the city's recreational infrastructure, and Community Golf Center continues that tradition. The Hills course would be part of the region's network of accessible golf options, complementing other public and semi-private facilities throughout the Miami Valley.
