Pendleton Hills Golf Club

Pendleton Hills Golf Club

If you’re looking for a remote course outside of the Cincinnati/Covington area, Pendleton Hills might fit the bill. It is located 40 minutes south of Covington on US 27 on the south side of Butler.

The layout is over a natural setting without homes or development save for one hole. It moves over rolling topography with several ponds in play and Harris Creek traversing the middle of the course. It’s generally straightforward along fairways bordered by scattered trees with 15 sand bunkers mostly positioned around the mid-sized greens. There’s five sets of tees from 5,429 yards to 6,601 yards, 71.8/134 course/slope ratings off the tips, designed by Brian Huntley.
