The course was great !!
Great course first time playing it this year. I play a lot of courses around Lexington and I would say this course is in the top 3or 4 I play!
Great course!
The Bull is one of my favorite courses in central KY!
Fantastic Shape!
As the title states... I have not seen it looking this good since I first played there last year. Only complaint is the cart paths... Fix your cart paths Bull! Other than that, great day of golf!
Has grown on me
Course was very wet from heavy overnight rains and was cart path only on this visit. I have played this course a handful of time over the past couple of years and it has grown on me. Bentgrass fairways are in very good shape right now. Rough was very green and full. Some bunkers had water in them , the rest sand was very heavy and compacted, but again course had experienced some heavy rains the night before and actually a short storm rolled in and dumped more rain for several minutes during my round there. Greens were in pretty good shape and rolled about a medium speed. Not a lot of people out on this day and pace of play was as fast as you could play pretty much. It has it's weak holes, just as any course does, but overall this has become one of my favorites in the CKY area, and probably in the best shape of any course I have played so far this spring. Lots of rolling terrain.
Fix the cart paths
The Bull is suppose to be one of the premium places to play in KY. But the cart paths are extremely dangerous rough. You don't need golf carts, you need an atv. I love the course, very challenging. But they need to spend some of the high price greens fees & memberships to fix the cart paths.
the bull
Everything was great. Slower players let us go through which is unheard of these days. Still a little pricey for a monday afternoon but still worth it.
Real gem in heart of Kentucky
First time golfing in Kentucky and we weren't disappointed.
This course is situated in some rolling hills with many great views. There are several elevation changes which make the course challenging at times.
Course was in decent shape -greens were receptive to well played approach shots.
Only complaint would be there were few markers on the fairways to show distance to greens.
We will play again.
PS -One of our favourite moments was when three deer raced across the fairway on 15.
Best value in KY
I have played at The Bull several times and I am always happy to return. The clubhouse and golf course is under new ownership/management and there have already been many improvements. The course itself is beautiful and surrounded by many high end homes. The clubhouse lacks in freshness and could use some more televisions and an overall remodel, but that's not what I go golfing for.
The course played well and there are always a few nice challenges when playing. The cart paths do need to be redone immediately as they are in rough shape which causes most players to drive through the grass for most of the course.
Food at the clubhouse has never been great. It usually tastes like the fryers are using old oil, and sometimes the food doesn't come out properly cooked. Overall the prices are great through and the drinks are the best deal I've seen in a long time, especially for a golf course.
I highly recommend this course if you can play for $30 or under. Give it a try and tell us what you think!
Not up to it's normal standard
I play this course a few times each year and the conditions are normally very good. Not so this year.
The fairways and tee boxes were not up to par for this course. The greens were mostly poa. Disappointed.
Beautiful Gem
The Bull was in excellent shape considering the harsh winter and spring. Fairways had green grass throughout. The greens were in very good shape. The bunkers looked like they could use some work, but fortunately I only found one. The elevations changes are more than what appears to the eye. Will take the drive from Louisville and play again.
The Course Staff was very friendly
The main negative about this course was the poana greens. They were so covered in poana that it made the putting very difficult.
The fairways and bunkers were in very nice conditions. Cold water was readily available every few holes.
The consrssion prices were awesome. $1 for a soda is almost unheard of now days at golf courses..
Excellent condition for this early in the year
Very well maintained course. Only downmark is that the cart paths are deteriorating. Greens superb, fairways excellent. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Really appreciated being provided with a course yardage book.
The Bull on the Bull....
Enjoyable and a good value. Actually made our tee time for the following day in error. Pro shop staff went out of their way to correct our mistake. and get us on the course with little wait. Hot dog at the turn is a must, outstanding wiener! Played behind the wrong group though.....nearly 5 hours.
Hilly challenge
Great course. Lots of fun. It is a very hilly course that has some beautiful holes. Careful with early tee times due to fog from the river right next to the course.
One of my favorite courses in central KY!
I've played the Bull a lot over the years, and it's one of my favorites. Normally, I would give 5 stars for course condition, but it's at the end of winter, so no course in KY is excellent right now. All in all, it was as good as could be expected.
A Must Play
Absolute incredible layout, my 4th time playing here and I'll be back. Conditions were very good for early in the year, we were able to play it down without a problem. Elevation changes make you think about your club selection quite often, missing the green can be costly on a lot of holes. Very fast greens that run nice and true, stay below the hole and get on the right plateau with your approach. I'm a 9 hdc and shot 75, also shot an 89 with similar conditions. Awesome course with some nice views as well. Enjoy your round:)
