CINCINNATI (Cincinnati Business Courier) – Hyde Park Golf & Country Club, one of the region’s oldest and best-known facilities of its kind, is planning a $7.4 million golf course restoration as it brings in a new general manager.

Hyde Park will widen fairways, redesign greens, add mounds and replant grass in some places, grounds superintendent Pat O’Brien told me. It’s all aimed at restoring the course to its century-old layout by famed golf course designer Donald Ross in 1921.

That’s why club officials refer to the changes as a restoration rather than a renovation.

“The property has changed over the years,” O’Brien said. “There are too many trees, and the fairways got smaller as the trees got larger.”

The course will shut down July 14, 2025, when work begins, O’Brien said. He’s targeting reopening the course in early June 2026.
