It's ok

Great value for the money. However, the back 9 is in horrible condition. The fairways are in such bad shape. Also there isn't a driving range and one tiny putting/practice green.

beautiful views in bluegrass

The course has been changed, since my last visit to the region. Interesting holes on new portion with some beautiful views of the river on the back. Greens were a little rough, but it is March. This course is worth your time, and I think you will be pleased with the round.

Getting Better

As a local I have played Canewood numerous times over the last few years...the course offers a relatively challenging layout...according to the pro shop attendant the tee boxes will be opened up in March...still some dead spots on the back that will give you trouble but it is February. A lot of good work going on here...good value for the money

Not bad

Course is a neat, tight, smaller course. Whole play all around is really cool, but their tee boxes are a mess, although it looks like they are trying to repair them.

Canewood Casual Round

Course was in fair condition after some heavy rains the days before. Ruff was tall and difficult to fine the ball when you missed the fairway. The fairways were a bit saggy, but with all the rain to be expected. Greens were in very good shape, but some what inconsistent on speed. Over all it was a good round, for meeting a old friend and just having fun. Ended up getting the Hot Deal so the value was great.

Disappointed Outing

Extremely disappointed with Canewood Golf Course....the lack of attention on the fairways and the areas of unattended mowing gives the appearance of either they don't care or the inept staff for the attention to detail is lacking.....allot of work or staff changes necessary to restore the course to decent conditions.......a long way to go to be a great experience again.

Challenging to the average golfer

Canewood is an excellent challenge to the average golfer. In the summer months the greens are lightning fast and very well maintained. The signature holes of this golf course are the Par 3 14th, Par 4, 15th and Par 5 16th which run along Elkhorn creek. These holes offer a challenge and a very scenic view. Overall I play this golf course 4-5 times per year and always love the challenge it presents.

Decent course for the public

Overall the course was fun to play. I must say I was a little disappointed in the condition of the Tee boxes and the cart paths. It was either broken up with pot holes or completely covered in dirt and mud. The tee boxes had a lot of divots that hadn't been fixed. There wasn't much signs offering any directions as to where to go. i got turned around twice and had to ask residents where holes were.

I only played 9 but shot fairly well for my skill set. Par 3's were good distances and the Par 4's can be birdied pretty easily if you hit a nice shot off the Tee.

I would recommend it for anyone looking to get in and play. But don't expect a beautiful course.

Hole 8 was supposed to be a par 5 by the course signs that are up on the cart path. To my surprise the T Box was out in the middle of the fair way and it had been turned into a par 3. That caught me a little off guard.

Fun to play

Only my 2nd time playing this year. Wanted to try a new course. The reviews were average but I really enjoyed the course. It was fast play, pretty decent conditions, and easy to find my ball. I'm a mid 80's kind of guy. Didn't even take a warm up swing or putt before stepping in to the first tee and shot a 91. 49 on the front was pathetic but 42 on the back once I got warmed up. I would recommend this course to any skill level. The biggest nuisance in golf is hitting a pretty decent shot and then not being able to find your ball- that wasn't the case here. Only lost one ball all day. The only bad thing about the course is you have to cross some neighborhoods getting to a couple tee boxes and there is absolutely no signage or arrows telling you where to go. Took us a few minutes to figure out... Other than that. It is a fun little course.

First time in a long time

A friend and I used to play this course occasionally, but as residential development increased in the area, we opted for other, more settled courses. So it was with some curiosity that I booked a round there with a different partner.

I was most pleasantly surprised. The course was in very good condition, except for the tee boxes, many of which were seeded recently. Greens were fast and in good shape as well. And only one hole appeared to have been altered since my last visit, this time by highway construction.

I would play here again without hesitation.

good for the money

This is a nice course for a neighborhood course. The course was in great condition in some places, and new grass in others. I would stand strong with a 2.5 out of 5.
