beautiful views

The staff friendliness was equivalent to Hickory Sticks (the friendliest course in Northern Kentucky). Course condition overall was excellent. Greens were a bit to slow although it was fun to have them hold everything I through at them. The course really treats you to some breathtaking views of the holes from the tee boxes. Excellent value for the money and I'll definitely be back.

par for the course

Staff was extremely friendly from the moment we arrived. My father in law bought some new shoes and the golf pro was very helpful to him. The course is in excellent condition. Pace of play was great/no waiting. The course really values its customers. Course is fun, and an excellent value. Thank you AJ Jolly for a great experience with my father in law!!

Nice

Good course. I usually soot about a 95 and that's what I shot here the first time playing. Good greens nice fairways. Older course with large trees makes it very pretty The staff was friendly the carts were good. I'm sure a very good golfer would say it isn't challenging enough but if you ara an average golfer then I think you will like it a lot. Some water. Some sand. I will go back for sure.

Beautiful !!!

I played AJ Jolly Golf Course yesterday for the first time. The greens were as good as I've seen in the area. The entire course was in mint condition. The staff was beyond presentable, offered to help in any way they could, and delivered A1 service. The hot dog I had for $2.75 was the biggest I have ever eaten, and quite delicious. The big lake they've been blessed with, helps toward very pretty views while on the course. I can't wait to play there again.

Nice Course

It's a little far from where I live but if I lived closer I could see myself playing here a lot. Nice course conditions with tricky hazards to avoid. Fairways lined with trees to increase the challenge. Very scenic!

AJ Jolly golf course

Played very slow due to carts not off the path, rain two previous days. The course was in good condition and the greens were very good, no significant dings or holes etc. the grass on the 2nd cut was a little high. (I guess due to the weather in the past week. Over all its a nice place to play for the money.

I challenge anyone to show me a better public golf course.....

I just played Jolly for the first time in 4-5 years. I read some of the reviews on here before coming. I wasn't certain on what to expect. Well, the course was immaculate. The putting surfaces were excellent. The overall condition was nothing shy of BEAUTIFUL. Even playing through an off and on light rain, we had a good time. No complaints, and nothing but praise for this course. Enjoy It!

Hard to believe!

I am a member at a local country club in Cincinnati. We are well maintained. Our Yearly Dues are not cheap. I just played AJ Jolly Golf Course today for $34.99. It is a public course owned by Campbell County, but they treat it like a public COUNTRY CLUB. The clubhouse isn't anything special, but who cares! They have more than adequate options for eating and drinking. The course is a 9.25 out of 10. Augusta National is a 10. The greens are great! The fairways and tees are well manicured. They actually have some rough. There is actually a penalty sometimes for missing the fairway. I thought that was the way golf was suppose to be. If I didn't live 50 minutes away, I'd hand them $750 tomorrow to become a member. Well Done to all the Maintenance Staff and Golf Staff at AJ Jolly Golf Course. I took a couple of pictures to show my buddies.

OUTSTANDING

I have never played a course of that quality for the money it was outstanding that's all to be said!!!! I live in Virginia Beach and to play a course in the condition of A.J. Jolly it would cost me at least 70.00 to 80.00 and even with a golf now tee time 50.00 to 60.00!!! Staff very friendly and went out of there way to say hello and how was your round! All and all I can't wait to get back to my old Kentucky home and play again!!!

Best Public Greens I've putted on in the Tri-State area in 2014

I use to play AJ Jolly golf course often. I'm just now getting back to playing, and I recently played Jolly. Wow! I was shocked at the course conditions. AWESOME! Mr. Jolly and his Staff were great as always. The concession area had tons of beers to choose from, as well as the biggest Hot Dogs I've seen at a reasonably priced facility. I'll be back soon. Can't wait!

Rough

If you don't hit the ball in the fairway every shot, you will lose multiple golf balls in the 5 inch deep rough. Rough is way too long for average golfers.

Fantastic Condition, Beautiful Greens, and A+ Service

I had not been out to Jolly in 8-9 months. Awesome! Great Customer Service just as I remembered. The greens were WAY above expectations. True roll and beautiful bent grass that looks like a country clubs surfaces. Fairways and rough were plush. I'm taking my boss and two colleagues there next weekend. Can't Wait!!!

A.J. Jolly

The course was in very good condition. The only problem was following the greens keeper soaking the greens on the front nine. The staff were very friendly except for the starter who wanted us to wait for an add-on player (only 3 of us) for 20 minutes even though there was't anyone on the tee box. He apparently heard me explaining to a playing partner that we had to wait until our tee time and told us to go ahead.

Well maintained

greens and fairways are nicely kept.
This course can be challenging from the tips. Overall it's worth the price.

Would like to see more food on the menu.

Booked for 18 holes and was told different

Drove 45 mins for a supposed deal... The man at desk said, "playing 9 for 19.99". I smiled like it was a joke and said, "no I only play 18". I do only play 18 and I am very familiar with golf now app... In conclusion, the guy said I reserved for 9 when I know it was 18... He did not work with me. Basically the course was sub par and the staff were total mood killers. Never will go back
