Cart paths are rough

Fairways and greens were nice as usual. The staff was great. Only negatives were the cart paths are pretty bad, and lots of washed out areas in the rough. So if you play in the fairway and hit the greens you are fine. Unfortunately I spent a lot of time in the rough so it was a tough day for me.⛳🤣

Solid Course

Pretty nice day to be out there, the fairways and greens were in great condition, only downfall this time was we got stuck behind a bigger group and the group behind us was also stuck. But that stuff happens, will play again

Not allowed to play my tee time.

There was an unannounced tournament and I was not allowed to play my tee time. Awful place.

Course is in great shape this season.

They really need to plant new trees along the road and/or install higher fencing along hole 3. Golfers of average skill must wait for traffic to clear before teeing off.

Good value as a Hot Deal

The staff was great from desk and cart check out to ranger and starter. It was overbooked and play was extremely slow. I had 11:40am tee and didn't finish a little past 5pm. The guys I played with had to leave after the 15tth hole.

For the price paid the course was in terrible shape. The grass needed to be mowed, there was debris all over the course.

Gorgeous condition

Course looks and plays fantastic!!! This is my favorite course in the area to play, especially for the price. Plush fairways and people actually know how to fix their pitch marks, which makes these greens some of the best in NKY. They were rolling a little slower than usual when I played. Great pace of play on front 9, got a little congested on the back 9, though. I paired up with 2 other singles, they were great company. Would recommend paying Kenton County a visit, you won’t be disappointed.
