The course is good condition greens in good shape and some ter boxes are closed for renovation.
Heading in the wrong direction
The course was in better shape when we played here a few weeks ago; Tee boxes, fairways and cart paths need some major work. greens were in good shape. we got the 4:24 tee time on golfnow - unfortunately that was the first tee time after an elderly weekly group, so we played very slow the first 9 holes, then had to rush to pass a walking 2-some after we made the turn. don't pay more than $15 to play this course.
Great Course
Loved the course just don't be late for tee time
Pioneer Review
Upon arriving the staff was friendly and accommodating. The course was in good shape and the greens rolled well. We rode and had a pace of play of 3.75 hrs. I would recommend the course. There are 3 18 hole golf courses here so you can find one that will satify your needs.

Nice course for high handicaps
In great shape, greens smooth, good for short hitters like me.
jcscar54,

Course in in great shape!!
Beautiful course. All the greens are in immaculate condition. Just pay attention to the nuances of the green when putting. Had a great time. All of the staff are very friendly and the grass cutters were very considerate of us when playing through.
Maybe next time
I would have been happier and rated higher but I was stuck behind a 5 some where 4 children were learning the game. I was on a 2 some and would have preferred to play through. Since they weren't allowing it, we played very slow and it was not as much fun. Easy course and not a lot of hazards to worry about. Will be back again.
Good bang for your buck
If you're looking to play a 5 star course, try Augusta National. If you want to play a nice local course, that's not too challenging play The Pioneer. Yeah, the pace was a little slow, and the guy at the front counter wasn't the best. But the Starter was a great guy and the course was in good condition.
Average
Course was average. Played the front nine. Thank you
Good Value
It's only worth $25 or less. You play on a weekend and it is going to be a 5 hour round. Fairly easy course. That being said, it is really not a bad course if you get a good price. Alot of beginners play this course though so be ready to hurry up and wait.
Great Course
The fairways and greens were in great shape, I would highly recommend checking it out.
One of my favorite courses
This is one of my favorite course. Good for bad to intermediate players.
Pioneer
The course was in excellent shape and the weather could not have been better as it was in the 70's.
The staff was pleasant but the pace of play seemed a little slow. Overall it was a great day for golf.
Highly Recommend
I've been playing at Kenton County for over 15 years. Pioneer has never looked better. Green, tee boxes, and fairways were mint condition. Played from the Black Tees. Coarse playes easy on the front and difficult on the back. I would highly recommend playing this coarse to anyone.
Up and Down
We teed off behind the men's league so the pace of play was slower than usual. Very windy conditions this day but very few shots seemed to be affected by it. Friendly starter, cart guys, maint staff on the course...all were willing to provide advice as this was our 1st time playing this course.
Ehhhhh....OK course....
Tee boxes need some work...Otherwise decent course...
Great Course
This course was kept up well, not too challenging and overall just fun to play.
Nice course to grab a quick 9 or 18
Course is in good shape and a 12 handicapper can play 9 in less than two hours
Great Combination
Its got just enough length to be a good test for mid/high hándicap. Alot of fun!
