Boone's Trace National Golf Club

My overall review for this course is very good the staff are nice and the course is well taken care of..

For a course in KY it's great to play. The front 9 is wide open easy to hit some good drives. The back 9 is a little more narrow but hole 17 is so much fun it makes you forget about the misery of the last couple holes.

On to the negatives. Cart path is really rough for the most part it's gravel. Also, watch out for people playing directly on top of you I have had at least one ball a round almost hit me because of poor manners from members of the club.

The Bull is a wonderful course, but has some flaws, so I'll do a little roses (Pros) and thorns (Cons) action:
Rose: Very open and easy to play
Thorn: Cart path could use a considerable amount of attention
Rose: The course guide is AMAZING, on a professional level
Thorn Tee boxes were very firm and lots of divots, for being in the middle of the week.
Rose: Secluded away from any main roads

I have always enjoyed The Bull, and this year was no exception. The pace was the slowest I have ever played there, but the course is fun and well tended. Though I was playing poorly on the front nine, I look forward to the next time here.
A word of caution - I could not get served at the snack bar after the round.

This is one of the best courses you will find in central kentucky

First time playing at The Bull. Beautiful course, friendly staff. Will definitely return!

The course has several risk/reward holes with firm, fast greens that are challenging to read. You can find your ball in the rough, but will be penalized for hitting it there. One of my favorite courses to play in the Lexington area.

I thought the golf course was well maintained and greens were any good shape, maybe a bit slow to what I enjoy playing. Golf course offers a golfer many different shot making opportunities and is layer out very well. I would recommend this golf course to a friend.

The course is beautiful with nice fairways and receptive greens. The layout makes you use your head and better plan your shots. Rough is tough to play out of. Great all round coursr

I have played the Bull many times over the years and have always enjoyed it. This was my first time using golf now to book tee time and everything went perfect. I've noticed with some of the other course in the area that you are not always treated as nicely when you use golfnow but that didn't happen at the Bull. The gentleman in the proshop greeted me as soon as I walked in and even let me get off a little earlier to get in front of a couple of foursomes. Just a great experience. Course looks great right now, green are fast and true.

other than the cartpaths being a little beat up, the course and greens were in great condition.

The course was in very good condition but the roughs were so thick it was often hard to find your ball. Greens were very good. Overall I would give the course a 9 on a scale of 1 - 10.

The course is well maintained, very professional. The fairways and greens are a pleasure to both view and play. Staff is very friendly. The night we played they even had live music at the clubhouse.

The course was well maintained. The front 9 was just average. Nothing special. The back 9 was much more challenging. I really like the par 3's. The cart paths are like a roller coaster. They need some attention. . My son and I probably won't go back. It was worth playing once.

The greens are running about 6, if you want to play faster greens I would wait until later in the summer. They claim it was for poe, but there was very little on the greens compared to other places. pace of play was really bad several groups wasn't even good enough to play a par three. The round should never take that long on a Tuesday.

I consider this course my "home course" as it is the one I have played the most and the one I prefer for the money.

The course is always well maintained (except for the cart paths, and honestly who cares about that?).

The course has a nice mix of challenging holes and holes that raise your confidence. The par 3s are a lot of fun.

Some water, some bunkers, some foliage on either sides of the fairway, some areas where house hitting (and window breaking) are possible with a lack of focus (yeah...I've done it.)

Overall great course for the money, well-maintained, challenging, fun and nice environment.

Glad we looked past critical reviews to play the course. The course is quite pretty and moderately challenging. I thought it was in reasonably good shape except for cart paths which are quite rough. Looks like a lot of nice courses with economic limitations.

We got off behind a men's group of some kind (4 foursomes) which played very, very slowly. It appeared as if the 90 degree rule in effect the day we played did not apply to them, nor did the usual expectations to rake after a bunker shot.

They were friendly and forgiving, however as I hit my tee shots a little close to them a few times as they were playing their 2nd or 3rd shots. It was just my wife and I and we did indeed have all day, so no serious problem for us. I just find it terribly hard to wait a bunch on the vast majority of shots.

This golf course had the feel of a Pete Dye design, visually intimidating. Extensive practice range. The greens demand respect. I played early in the season, the course was just coming back to life. But still a good value. Very close to I-75 so this would be a great place to stop going and coming while traveling.

I've played this course many time and it is usually in good shape. This early in the spring the grass in just starting to grow and the greens were pretty bumpy. I fully expect the course to be in its normal shape with time.

Despite the lack of spring, the greens were in excellent shape. If you like to putt on fast greens (as I do) this is an excellent choice. The staff is always super friendly.
