O'Bannon Creek Golf Club

O'Bannon Creek Golf Club sits in Loveland, a suburban community northeast of Cincinnati along the Little Miami River corridor. Dennis Acomb designed the course, which opened in the mid-1990s as part of the region's golf development during that era. Acomb, based in Ohio, created several courses across the Midwest, typically working with rolling terrain characteristic of southwestern Ohio's glaciated landscape. The course occupies land that features the moderate elevation changes and wooded corridors common to this part of the state. O'Bannon Creek itself winds through the property, coming into play on several holes and providing both strategic interest and natural definition to the routing. The layout incorporates these water features alongside mature trees and undulating fairways that require thoughtful club selection and course management rather than pure length. As a daily-fee facility, O'Bannon Creek serves the northern Cincinnati suburbs and provides accessible golf for the local community. The course reflects the design sensibilities of its period, with generous landing areas balanced by well-positioned hazards that reward accurate approach play. Greens typically feature enough contour to make putting interesting without becoming overly severe. The club operates within the competitive landscape of greater Cincinnati golf, offering a straightforward test that appeals to regular players seeking a familiar home course. The setting along O'Bannon Creek and within Loveland's residential areas gives the layout a parkland character, with tree-lined holes and water management shaping the playing experience throughout the round.
