Put water jugs on the course!
Does someone have to have a heat stroke or die before you all do what’s right???? Pathetic
Best in the area.
We played the Wildcat course, and for the GolfNow price, this is by far the best value in the area for a public course. Conditions were great compared to other similarly priced courses in the area.
Wildcat in july
course was in good shape, couple of fairways had burn spots but the turf was great. thick and lush, good divots. Rough was not treacherous, but high enough to be grabby.
The greens were spot on. Medium fast, rolling true, hardly any ball mark spots. Holed alot of putts today.
Great course conditions
Considering the rain in the area the course was in great shape. The rough was hard to hit out of. The carts had GPS, but unfortunately they would lock up for no reason. You could be well short of the sign keeping you from the green and they would lock up. You couldn't go off the beaten path much and the cart would lock up. Overall it was aggravating but tolerable. The real negative was no water on the course.
Good Design but Horrible Maintenance
Surprised at how poorly maintained this course was when I played it. Absolutely no sand in the bunkers. Just hard dirt so all the bunkers are unplayable. No difference in first cut of rough vs second. Difficult to even find your ball if a foot off the fairway. Lost balls that you watched hit because of the 6” rough. Green consistency was also very poor. Some rolled ok while others had weeds in the greens which appeared to have a week or more growth. The course layout is good but can’t recommend this course to anyone. Even if discounted there are much better options in the area.
Outstanding Course!
Really great course that’s very challenging. Will test your long game aswell as your short game. Totally recommend
Grounds
The fairways and greens were rough in spots. Seemed like a lot of poana in fairways.
Very disappointed
Course was in very poor shape. Fairways were terrible, greens were dry… many better options in the area
Conditions could be much better
The course has an interesting layout, several holes are doglegs. But the conditions are far below what they should be for the cost. The rough is very long, but inconsistent from hole to hole. The greens are a little better, but just a little more attention could go a long way. The carts have GPS that are supposed to keep you from driving in restricted areas, but all they really do is lock up suddenly on the path and you have to call the clubhouse to get it unlocked. The Big Blue course is much nicer, and it's a shame the Wildcat is so neglected.
Great Track
Enjoyed a great round of golf. Greens were fast with challenging pin placement. Definitely a play again course.
Nice course
A nice course we were teamed up with a couple young locals who were friendly and helpful to play here. Pace of play was slow, golf etiquette is lacking by people who don’t play ready golf. 5-10 minute wait per shot. Otherwise a great place to play.
Lacks maintenance
Enjoyed the round, very accommodating staff, I lost a few balls in the uncut roughs by the side of the fairways and greens. I had a slow twosome behind me and my search for the ball delayed even them. Fairway patches all over, dandelions everywhere. I will play again as it is a challenging layout but won’t recommend to a friend.
2 Diff Course Conditions
Just played Wildcat or White course. Great layout and greens in very good shape. However, the balance of the course was poorly maintained. Dandelions, dead not dormant grass, wild rough that hasn’t seen a mower.
Blue course looked amazing, picked the wrong one. No Bev cart either on a Saturday morning
A Tale of Two Courses
Over three days (3/31-4/2) I played BOTH of the UK courses.- The Wildcat Course and "Blg Blue.." Nearly every fairway on the Wildcat was straight-up DEAD - that would have been acceptable (tough winter-kill conditions) except that "Big Blue" had PERFECT fairways. The difference in greens fee cost is NOTHING when the conditions are so desperately different...
Wildcat course
Cart paths are terrible need some serious work done to them
Always a great place to play
Wildcat and Big Blue are two of my favorite tracks in Lexington. Well maintained and pace of play is usually pretty good.
