Maketewah Country Club

Detailed description of Maketewah Country Club

Maketewah Country Club is a Private 18 hole golf course located in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Maketewah Country Club first opened for play in 1910. The course was designed by Tom Bendelow, Donald Ross redesigned some of the holes in 1919.

The design features well bunkered, Donald Ross elevated greens, making the real challenge of the game the approach shot rather than the long drive.

This is a difficult regulation course with tree-lined fairways which are bordered by a multiple cut of rough.  The terrain is hilly, so you can expect many uneven lies.  The medium to small-sized greens are undulating and fast.    

Par for the course is 72. From the back tees the course plays to 6,655 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 5,632 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 14, a par-5 that plays to 502 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 18, a par-3 that plays to 155 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 6, a 458 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 18, a 155 yard par-3.

The signature hole is #6, a 458-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot down a fairway that is lined by out-of-bounds stakes on the entire left side, then an approach shot to a well-bunkered green.
