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.

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.
