South Course
Glenview Municipal Golf Club
About this course
The South Course at Glenview Municipal Golf Club represents a collaboration between Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Arthur Hills, two Ohio-based architects who have shaped numerous courses across the Midwest. Glenview operates as part of Cincinnati's municipal golf system, providing public access golf in the northern suburbs of the city. The facility's dual-course layout allows the municipality to accommodate high rounds of play while maintaining course conditions. The South Course plays through rolling terrain characteristic of southwestern Ohio, where the landscape transitions between the Ohio River valley and the interior uplands. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and mature tree corridors that define playing corridors and frame individual holes. Hurdzan and Hills, both known for strategic design that rewards thoughtful course management over pure distance, likely incorporated multiple teeing grounds and green complexes that challenge players of varying skill levels. As a municipal facility, Glenview serves a broad cross-section of Cincinnati-area golfers, from beginners to experienced players seeking an affordable daily-fee option. The course operates within the practical constraints typical of high-traffic public golf, balancing playability and maintenance with the demands of year-round use. The South Course complements its companion North Course in providing the community with accessible golf in a region where the game maintains strong recreational and competitive traditions.

Getting there
Most visitors arrive via Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, a straightforward half-hour drive south across the Ohio River and into the rolling neighborhoods of Cincinnati's western edge. The route follows Interstate 75 north before peeling off into quiet residential streets that climb gently toward Glenview, where the municipal course sits tucked into a hillside pocket above the city. The transition is subtle but unmistakable - urban grid giving way to tree-canopied lanes and glimpses of fairway green, until you reach the modest clubhouse that has anchored this corner of Cincinnati golf since the 1920s.
