Harmon Park's disc golf course is, more or less, exactly what you would expect from a shorter, nine-hole course. With that said, there is a decent amount of variety offered among the holes. Some of the holes are wooded, some are open, and some have a decent mix. Numbers 1-3 play through thick trees, and 4-9 play with either some or just a few obstacles in the way. It's also nice that there aren't any holes back to back that feel repetitive. You will likely be throwing either a different disc or a different shot shape on each hole, something that is a welcome change from many other park courses.

The course isn't very long at all. For intermediate players and up, number 8 is the only hole with any challenging length. All of the teepads are too short, not grippy enough, or both, and it's sometimes worth just throwing from right beside the teepad instead. The walk from 9 back to 1 is quite long compared to the length of the course. Also, parking is a little confusing. When you come into the park, pull around to the back of the brick building to find spots. You're going to have a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the first tee as well.

There's not really too much to say about Harmon to be honest. As mentioned, it's a pretty simple course, and you're going to get basically what you're expecting. With that said, Harmon left me and my friends pleasantly surprised. We stopped to play it on the way home from another course, as it was on our way and we figured that we might as well try it out. While originally only planning to play nine, we ended up looping and playing it again. If you're close, Harmon is definitely worth a drive over. Otherwise, Cincinnati and Dayton have a lot more courses to offer that are worth much more of your time.

Nice par 3 park course in town for quick practice rounds over lunch or after work. First 3 baskets are wooded and play more technical, but then opens up the back 6 with just enough gaps to keep it interesting. Normally not too busy.

Better pads would be nice upgrade from the rubber. Fairly busy paths alongside some holes so best to let folks pass threw before throwing... Shouldn't be a problem unless it gets away from you

2 can be pretty muddy

-Fun little 9 hole course
-Fun hole types and challenges
-good use of the area

-only 9 hole course
-plays pretty quickly

This is a fun little course for a 9 hole course. I would use it for practicing for the longer courses.

Nice mix of hole types.
No hole is 100% open, with no trees to consider with the exception of 4.
Typically well kept.
Designed well with what was available.
Typically not too much traffic compared to other courses in the area.
Newly added rubber tee pads (summer 2013)

The walk back from hole 9 to where you parked.
No real distance hole - hole 8 is the longest @ 335 ft.
Holes 1-3 can get swampy and muddy after rain.

The first course I played and fell in love with the game. If you are planning to make a trip to play Turtlecreek, which is 15 minutes away, stop by here for a warm up! You may be surprised by this 9 hole. It has a certain charm. It's just off of the US Route 48 bypass, off I-71. Or if you're coming from I-75, get off in Monroe and follow 63 into Lebanon. It's off that same road (63 becomes Main Street in Lebanon).

Somewhere between June 2, 2013 and July 20, 2013 some changes have been made to the course. Rubber tee pads have been installed, which is great. But in the process, the pads were installed a little forward towards the basket in comparison to where the old markers were. On this already short course, this actually has a huge impact in making the course easier. Particularly hole 5 is now much easier - not that it was too difficult before, but it's now that much easier. Also, trees have been cleared from hole 2 - which makes 2 a lot easier as well. Now there is a very clear path to throw a hyzer to the hole. Overall, my rating for the course remains. But in making improvements, the course has also become a little easier.

Hole 2 is stated 300 ft distance, but is more like 235.

Dropping .5 star rating on this as holes 2 and 3 are overgrown with weeds, some approaching 6 feet tall.

7/23/2014 - a dgcoursereview member updated the conditions of the course to be unplayable, and remarked that it was horribly overgrown (I assume in reference to the first 3 holes.) As I reported concerns about conditions a month prior, I looked up some contacts for the City of Lebanon's parks and recreation department, and sent an inquiry about the upkeep of the course. I got the following prompt response: "Yes we are planning on removing
the weeds ASAP.
Sorry for the inconvenience." It is such a shame that the course got let go like this, but hopefully conditions will be addressed soon.

First few are in the woods, very well made, not too many trees. different from other 9 hole courses

very short course, but has nice drive opportunities on the last few.

I was surprised at how nice this 9 hole course is, youll definitely enjoy it, not too much walking, but just enough.
