Dry
Greens were very hard and some were patchy. Recent hot weather damaged the course. Lots of patchy fairways..
Great layout though
Not good
Fairways were in horrible condition.
The greens had bare spots all over and ball marks like you wouldn’t believe.
Would not suggest to play this course anytime soon .
Great Potential
Really loved the facilities & the staff. The course layout was great but the fairways on the front 9 (of The Willow) were burnt out and did not have much grass. That said the greens were outstanding and the back 9 was outstanding. We asked the staff about the front 9 and they said it was the amount of play they've had under hot dry conditions but are confident the grass will return. And so will I - definitely give it another shot!
Unfair greens. 5 some walkin
Hitting the greens. Lots of slope and undulations but 3 were ridiculous and need to be fixed. As balls roll off the greens and there is no way to stop them with #10 being he worst., but nothing bothers me more then a 5 some walking on a hilly course holding up all the players behind them. On #6 they were 2 holes behind the group in front of them with 2 groups on the tee box waiting. So I skipped 6&7 and went directly to 8 No ranger seen the entire day. For all the rain we’ve had this course is a rock fairways and rough was spotty with grass and holes I would go to another course even though I was on a $22 hot time It wasn’t worth it
Water
Should have water on 2 or 3 tee boxes for hydration safety purposes
Great day
Nice course. So hilly it was ridiculous. Had a fun time
Willows Review
The course was in great shape. Price seems fair for the course. Pace of play was very slow after hole 5. Too many groups out there at once. Some were playing very slow. Other than pace of play the course was great! Very challenging.
Nice course but slowest round of the year
Nice course in good shape for early in the year and all the rain we have had lately but the pace of play was abysmal. Had a late tee time and with an average pace would have been able to finish. I waited on multiple holes 20+ minutes to be able to tee off. Took 2 hours and 15 minutes to play 6 holes before it was too dark to keep playing
When profit overshadows customer experience
I like both courses at Kenton County GC. A good mix for my skill level. But don't schedule a company outing in the morning, and a league in the afternoon, while selling tee times. I was at the course for more than four hours, and played 10 holes. Waited to start, as the outing still wasn't done when I arrived, and later waded through league players as a single. Employees didn't seem to care, or have the ability to do anything to address the issue.
Very nice but pace of play was horrible.
Everything about the course, staff, etc. was great. Overbooked! We were a two paired with a threesome. Took 6 hours to play 18holes.
