MAKETEWAH COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Cincinnati, OH, USA
Designed by Donald Ross, Tom Bendelow

Maketewah Country Club, nestled in the Cincinnati area, stands as a testament to early 20th-century golf course design, a classic parkland layout that gracefully traverses rolling hills and mature trees. Originally crafted by Tom Bendelow, the course presents a fair but challenging test, with subtly contoured greens and strategic bunkering that rewards thoughtful play over brute force.
The gently sloping terrain, a hallmark of the region, features a blend of uphill and downhill holes, occasionally presenting blind shots that demand local knowledge and a keen sense of distance. Maketewah favors neither a draw nor fade bias, instead requiring a versatile game and the ability to shape shots according to the demands of each hole.
While not a regular fixture on professional tours, Maketewah holds a revered place in local golfing circles, known for its tight-knit membership and commitment to the traditions of the game. The club is renowned among members for its exceptional sense of community and convivial atmosphere.
