Cincinnati Country Club reopened its renovated golf course on May 15. But before the ribbon cutting, there was a lot of hard work.

Over the coming weeks we're taking you back to where it all began.

July 2024. Work underway on Holes 6 and 7 under the direction of architect Dr. Michael Hurdzan.

This is where it starts. 🏌️⛳

HOLE 18 — NCR Country Club North Course

Hole 18. The closing hole.

A more generous landing zone off the tee. Three additional fairway bunkers strategically repositioned. A green expanded by nearly 5,000 square feet, with a softer approach both front and back — while that iconic ridge through the heart of the putting surface remains exactly where it belongs.

More room. More options. Same demand for precision.

Proud to have built it. 🏌️⛳

HOLE 17 — NCR Country Club North

Hole 17. Revealed.

Years of congested tree line cleared. The land's natural movement finally revealed. A once severely sloped fairway gently softened — twenty-four inches of elevation shaved from left to right to create a far more playable landing zone. The existing fairway bunker pushed back fifteen yards, with a formidable echelon of bunkers now flanking nearly the entire left side.

A tempting speed slot down the left center will beckon the longest hitters. But beware — a small bunker waits just ninety yards out on the right, quietly ending ambitions.

The green complex has been expanded with additional putting surface and graceful bentgrass roll-offs that beautifully capture the surrounding hummocks.

What was once an ordinary hole now demands your full attention. A true test worthy of this magnificent North Course.

HOLE 16 — NCR Country Club North

Hole 16. A par four transformed.

What was once a straightforward par four has become something truly special. Sharing new black tee surfaces with the second hole, the 16th now stretches nearly sixty yards longer — a dramatic change that demands a completely different conversation off the tee.

The fairway landing zone has been generously widened, but so too have the duet fairway bunkers guarding the right side. More room — and more consequence. The green has been expanded across the front and right, seamlessly engaging the greenside bunkers and creating a target that is at once more inviting and more demanding.

Longer. Wider. More strategic. More beautiful.

HOLE 15 — NCR Country Club North

"There was just something about the hole that resonated with me. The hole was already really good when I saw it for the first time. Yet I knew it could be even better. Late in the day as the sun drops in the sky, the hole becomes a perfect palette for a Bierstadt landscape painting. The green expansion is one of the largest on the property and will cause fits for some." — Jim Nagle, Golf Course Architect

Hole 15 at the restored North Course. A lengthy par four with gentle, rolling fairways flanked by elegant duet bunker complexes on both sides of the landing zone. The green expanded at the rear by nearly twenty-five percent — bringing the back-left greenside bunker dramatically back into play and recapturing green surface lost over the years.

HOLE 14 — NCR Country Club North

Hole 14. A hole that rewards the proper line.

A relocated fairway bunker now sits on the left side of the landing zone — a deliberate nod to the hidden, blind shot challenges that define so many great Golden Age designs. Find the right line off the tee and the ball feeds beautifully down a sloping fairway toward a green complex that has been completely reimagined.

The front of the green has been expanded to welcome more forward pin placements on what is already an inviting downhill approach. The former left greenside bunker is gone — replaced by a massive roll-off area larger than the green itself, demanding both precision and nerve in equal measure.

In architect Jim Nagle's own words: "The 14th greensite jumped out to me as an opportunity waiting to be explored. Aerial photos later confirmed that the old approach was once green. The rough was removed from the front left k**b, approach height grass restored, and the roll-off to the left and rear continued to evolve as the plan developed. One of my favorite greens and surrounds on the property."

HOLE 12 — NCR Country Club North

Hole 12. A hole transformed.What was once a par four is now a legitimate par five — a shared combo tee with the eighth hole adding nearly sixty yards and completely changing the conversation from the back tees.

The architecture tells the story hole by hole. Fairway bunkers strategically repositioned 330 yards out guard the first landing zone. Three new bunkers — two left, one small and menacing on the right — subtly intrude into the second landing zone just enough to make you think twice. And an enlarged green on the right now allows the greenside bunkers to integrate naturally into the complex, opening up pin positions that simply didn't exist before.

More length. More strategy. More options. This is what a great restoration adds to a golf course.Proud to have built it. 🏌️

NCR Country Club - Hole 11. A par three that rewards a closer look.

At first glance it may seem familiar — but this hole quietly tells one of the most thoughtful stories of the entire restoration. A newly added runway tee pays direct homage to Dick Wilson — one of golf's great mid-century architects, who designed the North Course in 1954 at the height of his career.

The removal of the old hackberry fence line and sentinel cedars has opened up the green complex in a way that feels entirely intentional — expansive, uncluttered, breathing. No artifice. Just golf as it was meant to be seen.

The classic hummocks at 10 and 2 o'clock are now beautifully featured in bentgrass. Same green surface. Entirely new character.

This is what it means to restore a course the right way — not reimagining a legend's work, but finally revealing it.

Proud to have been part of it. 🏌️⛳
