The Hurdzan 22-Hole Enhancement Plan includes adding forward tees, increasing tee size, deleting and modifying existing bunkers and installing new Better Billy Bunker liners, expanding fairways, and improving drainage.
Holes 4 – 7 will be closed for construction and the Academy course will be utilized to maintain 18 holes of play. The adapted course routing will be in place likely through late spring of 2025.
For the best flow and ease of play, the routing for the Front 9 will be as follows:
Hole 1
Hole 2 (Academy 1)
Hole 3 (Academy 2)
Hole 4 (Academy 3)
Hole 5 (Academy 4)
Hole 6 (Hole 2)
Hole 7 (Hole 3)
Hole 8
Hole 9
We have designed a temporary scorecard, which you can download here or obtain in the pro shop.
Holes 10 – 18 will remain the same and routing will not be affected by course construction.

The Hurdzan 22-Hole Enhancement Plan for on-course improvements was split into multiple phases to allow construction to occur while maintaining an 18-hole golf course as well as financing the improvements over several years.
The overall design plan includes adding forward tees, increasing tee size, deleting and modifying existing bunkers and installing new Better Billy Bunker liners, expanding fairways, and improving drainage.
Phase 1 of the project focused on Holes 4-7 which will be closed for the duration of construction and the Academy course will be utilized to maintain 18 holes of play. The adapted course routing will be in place likely through late spring of 2025.
Hole 3 will remain in play during construction. Golfers will be directed north on the path new 3 Green/Restroom and head east along the cart path north of 7 Fairway to continue play on Hole 8.
Next month, we welcome the return of the Cincinnati Open. Supporting the tennis tournament is essential not only for the growth and promotion of sports in our community but also for showcasing the versatility and adaptability of The Grizzly.

Performance around the greens is an important factor for a successful round. To improve your game, there’s one shot that stands out above the rest: the bump and run. By mastering this shot, you can transform your short game.
The bump-and-run is a game changer because a low shot trajectory increases your chances of getting the ball close to the hole by reducing the margin for error. And, by utilizing the ground for propulsion, you gain better control over shot distance, which is perfect for navigating obstacles and varying green lengths with precision.
Step-by-Step Guide to the Bump and Run:
Why It Works:
Getting the ball on the ground quickly with the bump and run promotes a reliable and efficient approach to short-game shots. By mastering these steps, you take control of your game and elevate your performance around the greens.
