It was a great course. Only problem is they double booked. I reserved online and the staff took phone in tee times without checking website. They did accommodate us. It is very uncomfortable since we were a foursome of women. (We play fast and waited on group in front of us all day)
Course in nice shape
Course is in good shape
Greens rolled very true
Nice course not many memorable holes though
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!
This course is in TERRIBLE condition, absolutely cheeks. Any putt is subject to random unexpected bounces due to the crappy greens. The cart paths are falling apart and full of holes. The tee boxes only have certain parts that have good enough grass to hit off. No information markers at the majority of the tee boxes. I booked a “hot deal” that was exactly $40 after fees, if you are near Lexington pretty much any other course is a better value. Only positive was that I played midday during the week and the course was wide open.
Good, but slow
Played the Wildcat course. I would probably recommend to others in the Lexington area. Very fun, but rather difficult course. Some tight holes and a lot of water running through the course. If you do not find the fairway, the rough is actually penalizing in some areas. Some of the tee boxes needed some work, but it is probably difficult to keep nice with so much play. Most greens and fairways were in good shape.
We had a 6-hour round on a Saturday afternoon. No starter keeping pace at all. Group ahead of us donated about 20+ balls into the woods/water and there was a wait on every tee.
Don’t
For the expectations of a university course, this does not live up to its name. Terrible tee boxes, fairway is length of the rough, crab grass on half the greens, and inconsistency throughout. I will not play this course again.
Not great shape
The course needs a lot of work. The tee boxes are not the best with weeds and crabgrass. Sand traps were awful. Fairways weren’t too bad. The greens rolled much faster than I was expecting, but also had lots of bad spots. Good value for the price paid on a hot deal. Quite disappointing for a course with University name. Overall, the course needs quite a bit of attention.
Always enjoy the course.
I’ve played here several times and it has always been a good round.
The 2 gentlemen we were paired with did not play quickly and were very high handicaps, which lead to a very long slow round.
Solid course
Overall, not very impressed with the course. Course conditions were pretty good except for most tee boxes that were not in the best shape with many weeds and crab grass. The cart paths were some of the worst I’ve seen. Fairways and greens in great shape. Nice layout along side Big Blue course. Solid course, but many better courses available in the area.
