Doe Valley Golf Club

Great attitude and friendliness of the staff. The pro shop was great. Really just an overall great day. Naturally it doesn’t hurt that I had my best day in years. I WILL be back.

Very nice place, others reviews correct management is doing great job to bring it back to great shape. Green are small and pins placement is tough a real test on your game . You play in the woods bring extra balls unless u hit them strait good luck very tough course will humble your golf game

Although it still has the scares of neglect. The staff has a plan to bring this grand course back from a near death experience. Greens are getting much faster and rolling better than the past few years. If you can appreciate a challenge from a great layout and see past the obvious old washout problems, understand all the needs for this course are improving daily, please give the course a try. It may become one of your favorite courses.

First time playing- working on the course so there were some tough spots but I will play again

People that work are rude! Payed to play 18 holes and would only allow us to play 9 said they close at 8. Ask if would could get a rain check because it doesn’t state that and he said no ! It’s not his problem! Horrible way to treat people!

Greens are a little slower than usual, but are in good condition.

Course still on winter conditions, greens bumpy and has bad spots on some. Still fun time was had

The ground was hard as a rock and the greens were horribly taken care of!

Let me start off by saying this...The scenery, the greenery of the surrounding foligage of this course is VERY picturesque and peacefully enticing for a golf course; Unfortunately, the course looks like a titan/giant was walking through The State of Kentucky and it bent over and took a big steaming poo all over Doe Vally Golf Course. Please don't mistakenly read anger into my feedback, you'd be terribly incorrect, it's quite the opposite.....I shot 77 today, 35 putts, 61% GIR, 54%FIR, (that's almost 5-8 strokes below my consistant 82-86 average)...so I played well enough above my normal skill levels to enjoy myself, I missed more birdie putts than I care to remember today and there's a good reason why!

Knowing that, I absolutley wouldn't recommend this course for ANY PRICE. The overall playability of this course is currently DISASTEROUS! It's a shame that inept management would let such a picturesque golf course dissolve into such an infected pig pen like state. This course is sadly dying a slow and painful death and I think that it's very safe to assume that the "COURSE MANAGER"/ INTENDANT has absolutely NO KNOWLEDGE OF and no degree in Golf Course Management whatsoever.

HERE'S THE REASONS I WOULD RECCOMMEND YOU DON'T WASTE YOUR $$$ ON THIS COURSE

(1). EVERY FAIRWAY ON EVERY HOLE, (with exception to maybe 2 or 3 of the par 3's), is "pock marked" with fungus infected brown grass, mange-like grass amongst muddy soil filled pot holes/craters every 10 to 20 feet apart for the vast majority of all the fairways. It was like playing in a bombed out mine field of mixed lies of mud, crud, and dying grass. I feel safe is assuming that there is absolutley NO PERSON WORKING THERE with a Degree in Golf Course Management/Maintainance or at least the simple workings of horticulture, proper irrigation and grass/turf management. Often it entered my thought process to hit my ball into the 4-6" short rough rather than down the muddy, mangey, crater marked fairways.

(2). EVERY (AND I MEAN "EVERY") GREEN was also infected/infested with this "mange like" grass killing, hard soil pock mark making, fungus. I hit 61% GIR today and almost every time I landed on a 4ft x 6ft barren, hard packed, muddy soil spot. On the off random times that my ball landed on a grassy part of the green (maybe 3 of the 10 hit greens today), I still had to put through multiple barren, slick, muddy spots on the putting surface. The areas of the greens that still do maintain a healthy resemblence are not adequately maintained making the speed of putt as slow as a sloth drag racing tree sap up the tree! This is not a exaggeration, EVERY green is practically unplayable, garbage.

(3). 90% of the Tee Boxes are basically standing in mud holes! It was impossible to find a spot that was 4x4ft squared to tee off from. I don't know if the course superintendant knows this, but they ACTUALLY sell palates of grass that you can put together like nice green 100 piece grass puzzle rather than cutting 4 to 6 inch clumps of grass and placing them 8 inches apart from each other. It was absolutely ridiculous and pathetic.

(4). Finally, if that's not enough, there is no driving range to warm up at, there is no "cart girl"/person for refreshments during play and other than the (4) par 3's, every hole is 90* to 135* dog-leg (R) or (L), basically there's no varying design concept whatsoever, YOU'RE PLAYING THE SAME HOLE OVER AND OVER AGAIN THE ENTIRE ROUND!

I could win a year long FREE membership to this place and I'd still go PAY to play elsewhere.

Other than that..."It's an amazing place to play!"...endorsed by The Ray Charles School of Golf.

No fairways, dead greens, lack of maintenance. Course just appears to be barely making it. Broke

What could be or once was is a after thought now. Really hoped that the course was taking a turn for the better but not sure it is. Friendly staff and cold beer is about all I can say positive about the day.

Course us playable as is, they are working to improve conditions - still have spots in fairway and on greens but overall I’ll be back
