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!
Not bad
This is a shorter course, but fun to play. The course as a whole is in pretty good shape considering that Fox Run supposedly has dormant grass. It is worth playing.
Pioneer at Kenton County
Course in excellent shape. Perfect for my game - wide, forgiving fairways but still a challenge.
Great course
First time utilizing golfnow.com and it was great. 18 holes and a cart for 16. Can't beat that!
Great Layout, Greens not so much
The layout of the course is fantastic. It is very challenging, but the course is not in good shape. They have a lot of course workers, but they obviously have no idea what they are doing. They also had no beverage cart, which was surprising with the amount of staff people they had. I would probably go back only if I were to pay the hot buy rate, otherwise it simply is not worth it.
Affordable course
For the time of year the course was playable but sloppy. Very friendly staff and I will definately be back when it warms up
great course, have played it at least 25 times this year
great course,, have played it at least 25 times this year
Well maintained course with large, true greens.
This course is open for the most part, with some blind or challenging areas. Large, true greens were a pleasure to putt on.
Perfect weekday course
The fairways, greens, and tee boxes were in excellent shape. However, the rough was extra long, and most were covered in leaves. Even a well hit ball that trickles off the fairway was subject to being lost.
I know, I know, I know, keep the ball in the fairway and you won't lose it. Thanks for the advice, Tiger.
