AJ Jolly > All NKY public courses

From top to bottom this is the spot to play in NKY. Staff is great. 99% of the golfers are great. Course is in great shape. Greens roll true. If you don't hit it fairly accurate you're going to be in for some trouble but that's truly the only con of AJJ. Can't wait to get back out there this weekend!

Nice Course

First time playing AJ Jolly and it was a pleasant surprise. It was in great condition. Not very long, although the par 5s seem like miles long. Greens rolled true the entire round. I will play here more in the future.

Nice Public Course

As far as public golf courses go, AJ Jolly is better than most I've played in terms of course condition. However, it is pretty short from the back tees and my round was over five hours long. I would recommend this course if you're looking for a leisurely, low priced round of golf.

Hidden Gem (from me at least)

I've been playing for over 15 years. I played in a golf outing here last year and fell in love with the course. I've since played it 10 times.

I'll be playing it at least once a week this season. The staff couldn't be nicer and they are always happy. The metts and dogs are oversized and the beer is always cold.

The course: On this day, it was a real challenge. Every course is so wet right now that you are on cart paths only. If you don't stay on the fairways, you are in for a long round and you WILL lose some balls from getting plugged. The greens are nice and fast though.

A few of my favorite things about the course; you are rarely battling players on other holes. You never have anyone hitting into you from another hole. When the course is dry, there is no better course around. It's challenging without being too frustrating. Whoever the greenskeeper is deserves a gold star (or a few beers).

You will not see much residential development. I LOVE IT. I could sit at the tee box at 18 forever. What a view. That being said, stay after for at least one beer to sit on the deck. The view is crazy beautiful.

I wish I would have found AJ Jolly many years ago. It's a bit of a haul to get there, but it is well worth it!!! My new favorite course.

Very nice golf course---happily surprised

Course was in great condition...real-live fairways and excellent greens. Not an overly-long course, but with plenty of twists and turns you'll find that you'll use all of the clubs in your bag. We'll definitely be back!

One of the best values in the area

Great staff, fantastic course and got in for an awesome price. The pace of play was on the slow side but not unbearable. If you get a chance to play this little gem do it!

Course in nice shape

Course was in nice shape. The tee boxes grass was a little long. Also the price on golf now was very expensive. Does not seem like golfnow are doing hot deals like they did in past. Food and drinks at course were very limited. Also course was very backed up. At one point there were 3 foursomes backed up at one hole. Would go back only if the price is better.

Very Goof Public Course

Fairways, rough, and greens were all better than I expected. When I looked at the tips claiming 6,235 yards..... I thought it'd be a breeze. 82 shots later I felt like it played longer and tougher than that, for a purest who plays the ball down. I'll be back!

Just an average course.

The course was good, but nothing special about it.
Fariways and greens were fine. Older course usually means smaller greens and that's what I found.
I would play again for a discounted rate, do not pay full price for this course.
