Great municipal course, but don't book through Golfnow

Golfnow apparently doesn't check the courses books to see if the time you book is actually available.

Other than that hurdle of booking a tee-time and it not being available, the course was in great shape and I will continue to play here but only by calling the course directly.

Very nice and challenging course

Very nice and challenging course- The front nine was wide open and in great shape both fairways and greens. The back nine is the most challenging with a narrow fairways dog legs and water hazards. The back nine is great for Working on accuracy. The back nine fairways I have several areas where needed work is being done which will be great improvements. Looking forward to playing Buffalo trace again in the near future.

Great Course, Great Rate

My first time playing this course while vacationing in French Lick. Great a Hot Deal rate of $10 for 18 and a cart. Staff even allowed my non-playing wife to ride along at no fee. Course was beautiful, other golfers were extremely friendly. Fun afternoon.

The golf course-YEA!!!! Golf now -BOO!!!!!

Golf now needs to know that the teetimes offered are actually available at the course they are offering the teatime to. I had to re-schedule a different teatime with Golf now because the 130 time which they gave me was not available as the party who reserved that day and time regularly all season had priority! No thanks to golf now I double checked Tuesday morning and had to reschedule Less than two hours before teatime. So the deal is… Come on man! Get your act together or just quit and go home!!! Otherwise, what are we paying the fees to you for?

Back nine in poor condition

The conditions on the front nine were fine, but the back nine was in terrible condition, particularly for this early in the season. There was little or no grass in many places on the fairways, and many areas were under repair and cordoned off. The condition of the turf on the back nine was the worst I have experienced anywhere.

Best Back 9 Around....That includes Sultan's Run

The best god dang back nine around, hands down! Pay $23 here and save the extra money you would spend at Sultan's Run. Don't get me wrong. I played Sultan's and love that course. I can't spend $65 on a round though. Buffalo Trace is just as nice, and the back nine is worth it. You can play 36 holes and use the other $20 on beer and some food at a local German joint for what you would pay at Sultan's. Pace was awesome. Just go and enjoy it on a weekday.
