Lots of approach shots over water

Very solid track that is the home course for the UK golf teams. The Bentgrass everywhere is nice and in good condition. Fairways are already green and look solid. The green complexes are challenging with lots of undulations. But they were rock hard and did not hold many shots.

The golf cart we had was pretty beat up and did not drive very well, especially going up the hills.

The course itself is wide open but challenging. Interesting angles on the fairways into greens. Seemed like every approach shot on the back side required a forced carry over water. Would be pretty challenging for beginners as you could not run a ball onto the green. The back nine was better than the front nine.

The eighth hole has a cool island green, and the 14th had two huge swans swimming in the lake around yet another island-like green. The fees were a touch high and might prevent me from playing it again but overall a decent value as a one off.

Very pleased

I'm in visiting family from Michigan and this was the first course I hit. It was easy at times and very difficult at others. Not sure if it's the elevation or what but the yardage doesn't seem to match my usual clubs. I felt I was hitting it a club shorter. Loved the course. Great water lay out

Worth the Money but nothing special

Unversity Club is a nice affordable golf course especially for seniors. Nice layout but not always in the best condition, carts are old and not very well kept and staff sometimes act like they wish they weren’t there. We play often because it is very affordable and close to Louisville. The University of Louisville Golf Club right down the road is much nicer and in much better shape, should be rated.

Price was different than what app said

Had to pay more than what app said so something is a little fishy with that.

Great time

The staff wasn’t the most helpful especially since I was alone. He just sent me to the parking lot to “find some other single to pair with”. Didn’t find him, so I grabbed a cart and headed out. The course was beautiful! Very challenging for me and in overall just great shape. I will definitely be back!

Excellent condition

Course was in great shape, tee boxes, fairways, and greens. Greens were slow compared to what we normally play but they are in fantastic shape for late June and 90 degree heat.
