First Time Playing

“Hidden Gem” is an understatement!

Wife and I found this challenging and enjoyable course literally in “the middle of nowhere” (Cadiz, Ky) on our way to Ames, Iowa. One of the courses in the Kentucky state park system. Course was in immaculate shape- greens were firm, fast and true (but I didn’t figure them out!) Glad to see they were in the midst of reclaiming natural wet area on the back nine! Pace of play was less than 4 hours - only had to wait once or twice. If you are traveling west (it’s always seemed north to me) on I-24 through Kentucky it is well worth your time to experience this amazing course. And yes, we played Boots Randolph’s “Yakety Sax” on our Bluetooth while we played hole #9!!

Gotta play

I recently rediscovered Boots after being away for many years. It is one of the gems of the Kentucky park system. The greens are in awesome shape with the new Bermuda...and they are FAST! First 5 holes are tree lined but it doesn’t get any easier when it opens up. Eighteen may be one of toughest finishing holes around. Good test of golf

One of my favorite courses

Beautiful course and greens! Only one piece of advice: Stay in the fairways. The Bermuda rough is tough to hit out of - once you find your ball. LOL

Renovations Complete

The course is in fantastic shape. The new greens are only going to get better the more they mature. Fairways were tight and the Bermuda rough is penal. Walk if you can. Be careful though. The local wildlife may sneak up and scare you.

Great course with new greens!

This course was in great condition and I enjoyed playing here. The new greens are a little slow but played the same on every hole.

Great Day

It has been several years since I have played this course. I have always enjoyed playing here. The greens have been changed to Bermuda which I am use to playing on. They were great for new greens. The fairways were in great shape.. The thick Bermuda rough was cut but sometimes it was hard to find the ball. Stay in the fairways. This is a great course to play. I recommend it.
