The Willow at Golf Courses at Kenton County, The

This place is the reason 5-Stars was invented! The book the Williows thinking it would be a fun course to play and decent value, I was complete blow away with the amazing quality of the entire course. The course offers; some unique and fun tee-box preservative over looking the beautiful layout, some of the best greens in the tri-state area, and different styles of holes throughout the round. If you are small/ long hitter this course is fun with the right blend of challenging. I recommend this course to anyone who is looking for a fun new place to play that will test all the clubs in your bag and you will be thoroughly impressed by the course conditions.

P.S. And I saw two deer, turkeys on the course

But....some of the bunkers were as hard as concrete and tree roots are tearing up some of the cart paths. Be careful teeing off next to roadways, local traffic will acknowledge you. Other than those minor things, the course was fun to play and I will return.

Course conditions excellent except the bunkers. No sand, just dirt and rocks. Some were like concrete. Pace typically slow on Saturday, almost 5 hour round.

Wednesday evening, after six o'clock, walking, 9 holes... $17.50. Maybe I have been spoiled by using Golfnow but this seems way too high for this course. They must know what they are doing though because the course was packed. It took us about 3 hours to play nine. Fun course and hard as heck is the reason I suggest it, but be sure to take out a loan before you go.

This is a good track that keeps you interested. You get to use all of your clubs and there is a variety of holes. As a low handicap female, I wish there were more rated tees for me. It was short from the front tees and the next tees (silver) were not rated for female golfers.

I've played the Willows 15-20 times, and the back nine has perplexed me (at my lunch) most of those outings. The course is in good shape (except, bunkers are packed & difficult), and they allowed carts off the paths. This course is a bargain for <$30!

The course was in great condition and was good for the average player.

Great golf course will definitely be back to try the rest of the courses there. Very well taken care of clean fairways. Greens were challenging and needed the other golfers to fix ball marks but overall in great condition. Great practice greens and driving range with lots of distance.

Fairways and Tees full of crabgrass. That's the worst thing I can say about this course.Greens were in great condition. Layout is challenging. Back side more so than the front. Go play this course. It's a good one!

course conditions improving, some brown areas, greens good, very warm day, pace of play ws good

Course was in great shape. Very challenging back nine.

Challenging course with tough greens. Good course.

Nice course, fairways and greens excellent. A little rolling and strategically place trees to the left side of tee box to screw with my fading drives. Ave. par four are 360 -370 yards. All in all good value for the dollar

Has hills, water, sand, through out the well laid out course. Really enjoyed the visit.

The Willows is a nice challenging golf course. The greens were in great shape. Super friendly staff and a great value on golf now. The only negative is the course is very hilly and a flat lie is almost impossible. You'll need your 'A' game to score well here.

I had played the other 2 courses at Kenton County before, but never the Willows. Definitely a nice course with many challenges - especially bunker placements on some of the elevated greens. Used almost every club in the bag.

our time was overbooked which the staff blamed on golf now, but otherwise it was a well kept course and a lot of fun

This course always seem to play pretty tough for some reason but probably shouldn't. It's a good value at $40 or less but prefer to play around $30 for it. Weekends will be slow out here but its a public course so makes sense. Has been in good shape this year.

First time playing The Willows in several years and it is in much better shape than the last time I played here. From tee to green the course was in very good shape. The greens were fairly quick but didn't bother play because they rolled out beautifully. Tee boxes staggered nicely giving us older (shorter) hitters a fighting chance. Would have been a perfect round if the threesome in front of me would have allowed me to play through but they kept a fair pace so I can't complain (too much). Would really like to see a ranger on the course to facilitate pace of play a bit more. Staff was very friendly. Grounds crew actually acknowledged me several times and vacated to allow me to make my shots (very rare these days). All in all very nice day. I'll be back.

Front nine relatively easy to score well however back nine is very challenging with tight fairways and tough rough very nice course in excellent condition very good value.
