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

This course is a good for somebody who isn't good at golf.

I would recommend this course to anybody. It was beautiful and you don't lose many balls because it's so wide open and not a lot of woods. Awesome golf course
