SHAWNEE LOOKOUT GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 North Bend, OH, USA
Designed by Jack Kidwell



Shawnee Lookout Golf Course sits in North Bend, Ohio, approximately twenty miles west of Cincinnati along the Ohio River valley. The course occupies land within Shawnee Lookout Park, a Hamilton County facility known for its archaeological significance and scenic overlooks of the river below. Jack Kidwell designed the layout, which opened in the 1970s as a public facility serving the greater Cincinnati area. The property's elevated terrain and wooded character reflect the rolling topography common to southwestern Ohio's river bluffs.
The routing takes advantage of the natural elevation changes, with several holes playing along ridgelines that offer views across the valley. Mature hardwoods frame many fairways, and the design incorporates the site's contours rather than extensive earthmoving. The course serves a municipal function, providing accessible golf to residents and visitors in a setting that balances playability with the challenges presented by the hilly landscape.
Shawnee Lookout operates as part of the Hamilton County Park District's recreational offerings. The facility includes a clubhouse with basic amenities typical of county-operated courses. The surrounding park contains hiking trails, picnic areas, and historical sites related to the region's Native American and pioneer heritage, making the golf course part of a broader outdoor destination along the Ohio River corridor.
