Oasis Golf Club and Conference

Oasis Golf Club and Conference sits in Loveland, a community northeast of Cincinnati along the Little Miami River valley. The course was designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, a partnership that produced numerous layouts across the United States from the 1970s through the 1990s. Palmer, who transitioned from competitive golf to course design, worked with Seay to create accessible yet strategic courses that balanced playability for average golfers with enough challenge to maintain interest for better players. The routing takes advantage of the rolling terrain characteristic of southwestern Ohio, where the landscape transitions between wooded areas and open corridors. Palmer-Seay designs from this era typically emphasized generous fairways with strategic bunkering and water features that come into play on approach shots rather than from the tee. The courses often incorporated elevation changes to add visual interest and variety in shot-making demands. The facility includes conference and event spaces alongside the golf course, reflecting a model common in suburban developments where golf serves both recreational and corporate functions. This dual-purpose design became increasingly popular in the Cincinnati area during the latter decades of the twentieth century, as golf clubs sought to diversify revenue streams and serve business clientele. The Loveland location provides access to both the eastern Cincinnati suburbs and communities along the Interstate 71 corridor.
