Boots Randolph Golf Course

We were traveling from Nashville to St Louis & stopped for golf. There were several courses around the KY Lakes but Boots had a tee time that met our itinerary. The course is nestled in the woods of the park. It's a great layout & was in very good condition. We played early so there was a lot of dew, but that burned off after a few holes. Maybe it gets a lot of play, but it seemed like a hidden gem to us. Very friendly staff!

Course was in excellent condition always one of my favorite to play. Friendly staff.

Friendly staff pretty grounds. Greens are in excellent shape fairway the keep cleaned off. Hats off to the staff.

Love this course staff very friendly and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend.

I always enjoy the beauty of this course. Unfortunately the contractor who was revamping their 18th hole went bankrupt and left job unfinished. Last hole is really played as a temporary par 3.

First of all, I’ve played in western KY for the last 6 weeks. This course was one of the most highly reviewed courses so I wanted to check it out. The staff was super nice. Great clubhouse. However, the course is in VERY rough shape. Every cart path is trash. There are massive roots everywhere. The bridges ALL have boards that are loose and popped up - some even had plywood over them. In addition, there is no clear direction between some of the holes. They need signs on the cart path. Lastly, apparently there is a restoration project going on on hole 18 - that they can’t control. I get it. But it isn’t forecasted to be fixed anytime soon. This sets you up for a Par3 play at the end rather than a PAR4. For 36 dollars during the weekday, this was very disappointing. There is construction all over the course it seems. I would probably pay 20 bucks to play here. The greens are overall really great. The fairways are ok - they are thick! The grass is dying so it seems they need some irrigation help. I had three birdies today so not horrible playability.

Course in really good shape except #18 that washed out in spring that has not been repaired. Its now a par 3. Greens fast and roll forever.

Eighteenth hole under repair, greens ar fantastic. Very walkable course. The front seems to be original and the back added on. The course is on a flat area surrounded by forests.

PACE: It was a busy Saturday morning, so that was definitely a factor. I would've liked to have seen some "ready golf" played by the groups ahead.

CONDITIONS: Tees, greens and fairways were all in good shape. Bunkers were really good.

When I played this course (9/3) due to ongoing construction the 10th hole was shortened to a par 4, and the 18th hole is shortened to a par 3. This was my 2nd time playing this course and I'm yet to play the 18th hole as it exists on the scorecard. I hope they can get all that construction completed to open the full course back up.

STAFF: Got us paid and out on the course.

LAYOUT: A good mix of tough and "less tough" (i.e., easy) holes. Par 3s are a good challenge. Some shorter par 4s for big-hitters to feast on. I used a cart this time, but walked in the past. This course is very walkable.
