Very Hilly

Very nice layout that provides plenty of challenge with uphill and downhill shots. The rough is brutal and will cost a stroke, as it should.

WOW!!!! not a flat spot on this course

Played this on a Monday with a hot deal from golf now and could not be more pleased!! Course was in great shape...bunkers could use a little love but not awfull...Set around some beautiful Kentucky hills with some just as amazing residential homes.The only negative I could give this place is that the outhouses (when mother nature calls) we pretty rank. Extra balls would be a good idea since the first cut of rough and then the "real rough" just seems to swallow the balls and finding them is somewhat of a challenge...but worth the time out in this beautiful area of KY...Hope to get down there again from Michigan soon even with a 5 + hour drive...you wont be disappointed

Good deal at a discounted rate

The Bull is in good shape, a few drainage/green issues but after some paving work the cart paths are in much better shape. I would recommend this course but only at a discounted rate, their normal rates are much too high.
I played as a single later in the afternoon, and for some reason encountered the slowest play ever on this course. Not sure if several groups were bunched together in front or what.

great value

For the most part the course was in great shape other than the greens. I'm going to have to go back once the weather gets warmer and see how it is. But still for under $20 can't really argue. Still a little disappointed

Good test for all playing abilities

Course was in better than expected condition for the beginning of April after a week a heavy rain. Had a great time playing 18 with my 16 year old son. I am an 6 handicap and my son shoots in the low 100's. Even with such a disparity in our games the course was fun and challenging for both of us.

A good variety of holes. Different elevations and shot shapes.

I took a group of eight to play there from my town, an hour away. Every single player in my group is ready to go back asap.
The course is nice, challenging, fun.
The staff is TERRIFIC!
Will be back soon.

Wet turf, but great condition to play a round

We had a two-day heavy rain, but the course took it well. The condition of the greens & fairways was very good, considering the rains we had. I will definitely come back again.

I grabbed the Bull by the horns and won!

Decided to take a little road trip and take advantage of the Hot Deal rate, about $16.00. One reason was the offering of heated carts, they had covers available but no propane for the heaters but it wasn't a big deal to me. Had about a hour frost delay and the greens took about another hour before you could fire at the pins due to how hard the greens were. Course was not as tough as I had anticipated, I shot 74 from the blue tees but U struck the ball well all day and avoided trouble. If you are wild with the driver this course could give you some big numbers due to the quantity of O.B. markers. Course is in a nice gated community, didn't have much available food and beverage wise that day. I really enjoyed playing it though, our threesome played 27 holes in about 4 hours and 45 minutes.

Great Course, Tough Back 9

Had a great day at the Bull, even shot my first ever birdie on the front 9 Par 3. Little soggy from the fall morning dew, but overall course was very well kemp. Greens in pretty good shape. A few spots here and there could have used some work but over all fantastic deal for the hot deal of the day on GolfNow. I found the back 9 much more challenging than the front due to how hilly it is, but more advanced players would probably have a great time with it.

Everything was good but the course was just not in top shape like I've been there and see it before. Greens were a little rough.
