Avon fields golf course top 5 facts
Avon Fields Golf Course is an historic golf course in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The course was developed and run by the city until the late 90's when Kemper Sports Management won the rights to run the city courses. In 2003, Billy Casper Golf won said contract and has continued to run it to this day.
Avon Field is located in North Avondale and borders Norwood. The course is the oldest municipal course west of the Alleghenies. City records can not be found for the original course designer. The Donald Ross archival website lists Avon Fields as one of his designs. Others suggest it was designed by a member of the Spaulding family, later famous for sporting goods.
Avon is a par 66 18 hole golf course consisting of 12 par 4's and 6 par 3's and a full service driving range. The front and back nines were switched in the 1960s, when construction of the Norwood Lateral provided the impetus to reduce some of the steepest hills and rework this vintage course
