Too crowded
I enjoyed playing the course. 6,000 yds from the senior tees is long for me. There were too many people that took too long to play a shot.
Pace of Play
Unreasonable pace of play, foursome in front of me didn’t have the consideration to allow a single to play through. Used to enjoy playing here but the last few rounds have been rather frustrating. Takes you out of your game and rhythm.

Over Booked; Slow Pace
I’m not sure how you have 6 people teeing off at the same tee time, but it happened here. I’ve been told they double book but who knows. Foursome in front of me wouldn’t even offer to let me play through as a single. Waited for 10 mins on each tee box. Used to enjoy playing this course but not going to be somewhere I play in the near future.

Downhill recently
Course conditions are mediocre, at best…. Course is normally in great condition but not today… yellow/Brown fairways, shaggy greens, rough that’s 4” …. Pace of play on the back 9 was pathetic… not sure I’ll be back, but i love the layout

Very hard course
It is a course for the low handicapper. You have to hit it long and straight. The pin placement for this day were brutal.
lmsgolfer, thank you for the feedback. It’s important for us know how we can better serve our customers and your comments will be shared with the team.
Good price, fair condition
Found a hot deal on GN. Played on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and expected a 5+ hour round. Finished in 4.5 hours, so very happy with rate and pace of play. Condition is way below what it used to be and just don't expect great condition and you will be happy
rpmurphy67 thank you for the four star review. We're glad you were happy with price and pace of play. Please let us know more specifically what course conditions need improvement so I may pass along to our team. Thanks
Thank you for taking the time to post your review. If you’d like to share any details about your experience at The Golf Courses of Kenton County, we are always looking for ways to improve. Please feel free to contact us directly via phone or email to discuss.
Perfect day for golf
Only negative, front 9 cart paths are in need of repair back 9 has been repaired last year. Other than that I always enjoy playing there. Staff is great course always in great shape, some hard holes but a lot of fun.
Thank you for the feedback. We hope you enjoyed your visit and would love to have you back again. Have a great day!
I've always loved this course, especially the back 9. The course was in great shape, including greens. The problem was pace of play. In short order I caught up to 7 4somes playing a scramble. Their format did not make them faster. I waited more than 10 minutes on every shot. I realize that as a single I'm going to be quicker and I accept the fact that I'll have some wait. But I got a rain check after the front nine because I was looking at a 3 hour back nine. I regard this as a one off at a course I love and to which I will return.
Thank you for the feedback. We hope you enjoyed your visit and would love to have you back again. Have a great day!
