Nice Challenge
This is a really nice playable course. Played the white tees and felt it was very fair distance. The fairways were in great shape with many uneven lies that add to the challenge. The greens are medium to fast, but suffer from player not fixing their marks. Most of the the bunkers are nice but some still waiting on the redo. The staff is great and the course is well maintained.
Do-over
First time playing the course. I loved the front nine, back nine not so much. Reason being, I just moved here from Florida and was not used to playing courses with side hill lies. Had a hard time adjusting. I will most certainly play it again.
Course has potential, but needs a little work
I had a $29 Golf Now tee time at 8:20. It seemed like a good value because the course was highly rated. I started off with some range balls and putting. The practice area seemed very good. Once I got on the course I was a little disappointed in the maintenance. The edges of the bunkers had tall weeds growing out of them that needed to be trimmed and the tee boxes and greens seemed a little beat up even for late summer. There were a few instances when there were clumps of grass in the rough which made it tough to find an errant shot. Overall the layout was fun with a lot of elevation changes and a few forced carries. The greens were a little slower than what I am used to, but the dew may have played into that.
Good Value
The course is fun to play. The front nine is not very exciting bu the back nine is very challenging. All around a good course to play.
Staff Training
My brother and I booked the Hot Deal which was a great price, we played 10 holes and then it started to rain so we went to the clubhouse to ask about a rain check. The young person that was working the desk said " we didn't make any money since you booked it on Golf Now so we can't give you a rain check" I didn't say anything (normally I would since I'm a local business owner and wouldn't want our employees saying something like that to hopefully future customers). I did not set the price and I'm sure the employee didn't either but in the future I would hope something like " I'm sorry but it's our policy that if you book online with Golf Now we do not issue rain checks" would be the response. Very disappointed with the way it was handled and as everybody says" Good help is hard to find"
Good course overall, bad staff
The course was great. Played at 9am on Friday. The mowers were still mowing the teeboxes, but when they were finished they didn't add the markers back. It was around 12:30 when we were on 18 and there still weren't any tee markers set. Additionally, the guy in the clubhouse was not the least friendly. Seemed to almost be mad to have paying customers.
Great Course
Great changelling course for a novice golf skill set. I play about twice week and I felt like the setup was a great challenge for my skill set. Loved # 14 short par 3 water on one side and not too in bound play on the other. Greens are narrow and little on some holes. Definitely will play this course again. I will recommend this course to my golfing friends.
many improvements
I played the course a couple of years ago and was surprised how many improvements they have made. They have installed new cart paths, new bunker improvements were outstanding (especially the white sand) and the greens were in tournament condition.
One of the best conditioned golf course I have played in years. Will be looking forward to my next visit.
A must play in Lexington
Excellent course that we always make part of our annual outing. The layout is well done and is challenging for all levels of player. We lucked into booking a round in 2008 off golfnow.com and have played this course for every year since. We still find it challenging and entertaining!
Nice day for golf
This was the first day in a while we could play without rain or other time constraints so it felt good out on the course. The course was in nice shape. They were rebuilding the greenside bunkers on some holes but that's fine.
We actually had a Marshall get us going on the first hole which was great. It's unusual to see this anymore ao I appreciated it. The pace of play looked like it was going to be bad as we were stuck behind a group of 4 plus a kid but it worked out.
I really like the way this course plays and if you fade the ball with ease you will like this course. Several holes have water in play and several have elevated greens which can be a challenge but I like that kind of stuff. The clubhouse, driving range and practice putting green are all very nice. I'll be back.
Throughly enjoyable
Loved the rolling terrain leaving many side hill lies as well as the elevated tees on a couple of the par threes.
Great bang for buck
Loved everything about this course. Looks like they were adding some bunkers to an already beautifully designed course. Super nice driving range and clubhouse. Extra friendly staff. Even the carts where top notch. If you can play here for under $30 you are robbing them! One of my favs in Ky
Dire need for markers
Love the course and the staff is fantastic. Only complaint is the dearth of yardage markers. Spent quite a bit of time determining yardage. Other than that, one of my favorite courses in the area.
Very playable in February
This is a well maintained course in an attractive residential setting. Not a lot of hazards, but a fair amount of slope, particularly around some of the greens. Overall, a fun course to play.
We had a mid-morning tee time on an unusually warm (reached the high 40's) winter day. We had to wait about 45 min before the course superintendent would let anyone on the course due to a very light frost in the shade. Rather than seeing this as a negative, I see this as a reflection of how well they care for this course.
The old bull.
Love the course layout. Trap maintenance has been poor for a few years now. But 2 golfers with carts for less than $20 a piece, its still a bargain.
Great course
Fun day excellent layout
As a single and booking with Golfnow I was paired with a great group for an enjoyable round. I will return!
Great value for a fun course!
First time playing this course and I was pleasantly surprised with the overall condition playing late November. Greens were pretty quick but true. Fairways were in good condition. Only disappointed in the bunkers which I don't think had been raked in a while.
But I enjoyed the course layout. I played with my brother in law which helped on a few holes where it wasn't obvious which way fairway bent. I'd recommend this course and would like to play again .
Very Good Track!
Really loved the course, great layout, very good condition. The ONLY complaint we had was the bunkers which were not very well maintained. Other than that it was a really good time. We will be back. The price was outstanding for the course you got to play.
Outstanding value
Right combination of length and shot making requirements along with extremely good value for the cost makes the day enjoyable
