The Willow at Golf Courses at Kenton County, The

The Willows is a nicely designed track. The greens were in excellent condition. The fairways were patchy at best. The staff was excellent and friendly. Everything was a positive with the exception of the fairways.

This course is absolutely pathetic. I've never played a course in such bad condition. The fairways are composed of nothing but mud and patches of crab grass. Please do yourself a favor and spend your money anywhere else. Also, the $6 cheeseburger made me sick.

Have played this coarse many times over the years and have played there 4 or 5 times earlier this year . Played on 9 /3 The fairways are gone crab grass growing in tee boxes and thru the fairways . greens looked beat to death. its pretty obvious the only maintenance going on is cutting greens and the grass . They do not have to cut fairways cause there is no grass to cut. I am shocked how this coarse looked . Kenton County use to take great pride in the condition of this coarse. guess those days are gone . paid 20.00 to play 9 holes. When I called the coarse to check on crowd and condition none advised us of the poor condition of the coarse . Guess it's time to play my golf in Boone co .

What a horrible course. The fairways are nothing but mud slides. Patches of bent grass and weeds everywhere. Ball marks all over the greens. Some parts of the of the course are mowed, other parts are not. Just super disappointed. Used to play here a lot

The deal was great, but with a price. I've played this course many times in the past. I brought 2 new people there to play for the first time. By the time we were on hole 3 I was apologizing for how awful the course was. Greens were in okay shape. The fairways were awful. Many times hitting off of mud/dirt in the center of a fairway. Rough was tall and uneven. Overall I was very disappointed. These courses are 5 minutes from my house and I'm pretty sure I'll never go back. Great hot deal price, but I'd rather pay full price at a course in good shape.

course maintenance seems to be slipping

The course overall is a fun and challenging course. The greens are amazing offering quite a bit of challenge with lots of subtle undulations. The course has great elevation changes and wonderful layout challenges on most holes.

The one down side is the overall course condition. Too many fairways were in poor condition in too many spots. The tee boxes were terrible chewed up, and clearly needed to be moved.

If the upkeep of the course were better, this would be a full 4 star course.

This golf course actually has three different 18 holes courses at it. The Pioneer is the easiest.

The Willows is the next hardest. And the Fox Run is by far the hardest course there.

All three are very nice courses.

Kenton County Willows is a great coarse! Excellent condition, great value, always fun to play. 136 Slope off the yellow tee's makes it still very challenging. Love this coarse and will certainly play again.

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.
