My brother (Qikly) and I are probably going to play here for a couple of days in July. I've played Idlewild and Lincoln Ridge and he's never been. Of course, the priority is playing those two courses plus Mt. Airy. After that, there aren't any large preferences that stand out among the rest of the courses. Mason and Monroe look promising as well. Osage Grove looks to be another one to hit up, but has mixed reviews.
We place a high priority on course design - course flow, variety, and technical challenge - over amenities, but still appreciate straight-forward navigation and basic amenities since we'll from out of town.
I've read multiple threads about the Cincy courses, but I wanted to start a new one in case of any new info about the courses, recent redesigns, bad conditions, etc.
So my main questions are:
-What are the more underrated courses in the area, the ones outside of the Big 3 that we shouldn't overlook even though they aren't as highly rated?
-Any courses in real rough shape this time of year that we should skip?
-Courses outside of the Big 3 that we should take into account large crowds? (I know the other three get very crowded)
We usually don't incorporate any sight seeing in our trips, but since we're not familiar with the city, any basic tips on food, which part of the city to stay, etc?
Thanks for any input!
P.S. - we're Steelers fans, are we still welcome?
