Golf now app
I paid for my tee time on golf now, then when I arrived at the course I had to pay again. Wires are crossed somewhere.
Cart paths tainted an otherwise good experience
The course was fine But the cart paths are in serious disrepair
Challenging and beautiful
Course is in FANTASTIC CONDITION except for cart paths are kind of rough. It's tough from the rough so stay in the fairway.

Friendly neighborhood golf course with enough challenge for beginner and amateurs.
SLOW
The course is in excellent condition except cart paths are a bit rough. It was WINDY as it usually is. The round took us 5 1/2 hours to complete. Very slow pace, though we still had a good time.
Great time
Although the weather was a little rainy and windy at first the course has really good drainage and my play was not affected. Staff was grounded and accommodating. I highly suggest this course and the manager Dave Peru goes out of his way to assure everything goes smoothly and that everyone who’s their decision to play golf at the course of Kenton Country.
One of the better public courses for sub 20 handicaps in the tristate
Course is in great shape, the greens are coming in nicely, still a little under pace but not bad. As a scratch golfer I find this to be one of the better tests of my game and decent condition course in the area. Uneven fairway lies, really uneven off fairway lies but a fair course if you're hitting the ball well.
The rough has made gradual progress out of dormancy the past three weeks or so, but it's not penal yet. So the course is playing slightly easier than it does when we get a little warmer in the area.
This is one of the more challenging courses in the area with a lot of shots into uphill and some downhill greens. If you're not a good striker of the ball I would suggest one teebox forward from what you thought you should play. The back is a bear, but a great test of skill for lower handicaps.
Tough course good conditions
Incredibly windy day made for a demoralizing round. Course was in good shape. Greens rolled well. Just an overall tough course.
Poor pace of play
Always have open tee times yet the pace of play is usually 6hrs per 18 on a good day. It makes no sense.
Love the willows
Best public course (back 9 at least) in the Cincinnati area. The back is beautiful and so challenging!
