- Great variety of short, long, open, and wooded holes.
- Fun elevation changes
- Well designed
- Great use of a fairly small area
- Good water drainage compared to other close courses
- Perfect course length for a shorter but challenging round

- Elevation may be too challenging for some people
- Not long enough for those looking for a long course like HAH in Fairborn

(Side Note: It seems a lot of the previous low rated reviews were due to the lack of tee pads, but concrete tees have been installed.)

This is one of my top favorite courses in the Dayton area. What impresses me about Clayton is how fun and challenging it can be in a smaller area than some of the other local courses. I would easily give this course a 4-4.5 rating, so I'm going with the 4.5 to help the average. I'm really surprised it's average isn't higher considering how much this course offers.

(Note: Any "hyzer", "anny", or "anhyzer" references are for RHBH)

Hole 1: Fun little downhill left-to-right shot with an elevated green. With the right throw this is an ace run.

Hole 2: Uphill shot the same length as hole 1, but it plays much longer since it's going uphill. A few trees about 40 ft. from the tee that you need to make it through to get up the hill towards the pin.

Hole 3: Straight shot with a tree straight ahead of the tee 80-90 ft. out. Pin is set in a group of trees.

Hole 4: Straight shot with a few sets of trees in the middle of the fairway. Fairly easy hyzer or anny route.

Hole 5: Longest hole on the course. Small line of tall trees about half way to the basket. Once past those the pin is a little lower than the fairway.

Hole 6: A fairly straight slightly downhill shot. Trees on both sides of the fairway down towards the basket.

Hole 7: Short playing, slightly downhill shot. A tree to the left of the tee box, then a few on the right side towards the basket. The basket is tucked behind a split tree.

Hole 8: Hyzer around the trees that are behind the tee pad for hole 2. Once you make it around that corner it's a simple upshot or putt in.

Hole 9: The first hole going into the woods. The fairway os about the width of a single lane road. Basket is on the right surrounded by a few trees. If you get into the wooded area to the right of the fairway it's pretty heavily wooded.

Hole 10: Dogleg right from the tee, then straight shot towards the basket. Basket is surrounded by a few trees.

Hole 11: Fairly steep uphill shot. Only 180 ft., but due to the elevation it plays quite a bit longer than that. Wooded area on both sides of the fairway.

Hole 12: Only 210 ft., but quite a few trees right between you and the basket. Over-shooting the basket will cost you a trip down a fairly steep hill and make for a tougher approach.

Hole 13: A few trees you have to get past off the tee, then a nice hyzer line to a slightly elevated basket. A nice ace run for most players.

Hole 14: Fun downhill shot. Quite a few trees to hit on either side right off the tee, then it's fairly open until you get to the trees near the basket.

Hole 15: Fairly small fairway off the tee with trees on both sides, then it opens it a bit and goes uphill towards the basket.

Hole 16: Fairly short, straight shot with a lot of trees on either side of a tight fairway. If you keep it nice and straight you'll be parked.

Hole 17: A few different path towards the slight downhill towards the basket. Basket has a small creek behind it, but that creek stays fairly dry.

Hole 18: Uphill shot up and out of the woods. About half way to the basket you come out into the open with a nice shot towards the basket on the right.

All in all, this is a great course. I would say it's one of my top 3 favorite courses in the Dayton area. Definitely take some time to check it out.
