Not the Kearney of years past.

My son and I played this course in preparation for his regional school tourney on the course. We have played this course several times a year and had always found it to be in excellent shape and an enjoyable challenge.
It is not in great condition as its $45 dollar price would suggest.
Numerous bare or dead areas on the usually great greens were
hard to play around. Overall appearance of fairways and waste areas lacked their usual appeal. Missed the "Old Kearney".

Great course, awful shape

The layout and design of this course is wonderful. That said, it's in terrible shape. The fairways have massive divots throughout, and the greens were just as bad. Traps were light on the sand, too.

Always a good place to play!

The staff are freindly and never pushy. Play can be slow sometimes when tee times are overbooked, but the course is fun to play and always in good shape.

My New Favorite Course!

I had only played this course some years ago while on a visit. I moved to Lexington about 2 years ago, and forgot about the course until we recently played. I had another favorite course until I played here. Now this is it! Its AWESOME!!
