Watch out for the mosquitoes
I like this course and we play it often. However, we hit our drives on # 13, and as we prepared to hit our 2nd shots we were run over by mosquitoes, so many we had to pick up our balls and move on to # 14. Number 14 was not much better, so many mosquitoes that all we could do was try to fight them off while we tried to hit our ball. Number 15 had a few, but nothing like 13 & 14. When we finished playing I went into the club house and told them about it. The man there was aware of this and says its probably because we have had so much rain. I was hoping he was going to say they were planning to spray, but nothing was mentioned. We won't be going back here anytime soon, These things will probably be around for most of the summer.
This course has awesome features
The course was in amazing shape. Really enjoyed playing there
Awesome!!
Awesome course and beautiful! Best round of golf for the money all year! Definitely be back!
Bunkers
Please put a lot of work in the bunkers! When the greens have been freshly aerated it should be half price! It wasn't noted on the page either!
Great design, wrong time to play
I loved the layout of this course. Obviously they are known for the Big Blue course, but this one is no slouch. Beautiful driving range with nxt tour s practice balls. Guy in the clubhouse didn’t see to care too much about us being there (Maybe because we booked thru GolfNow...). Layout of this course is excellent. Requires you to think about many different shots and ball placement. Unfortunately, we played during an amateur event on the Big Blue course, but the greens on Wildcat were just aerated, so putting was essentially nonexistent. Would most definitely play again though. I’m sure it is beautiful during the late spring/early summer. Look forward to playing again when it is in top shape.
No warning
Have played here several times over the years. Today the greens had been recently aerated. That would've been fine but there was no warning from the course or any type of discount because of it. Also the bunkers have become completely unplayable here. Won't be back here anytime soon.
Hello mdry93, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review at University Club of Kentucky.

Thank you for choosing our course, we hope to earn your business again soon.
Nice Course, has better potential
I played this course a couple months back and the fairways were much better. The greens were good; although, there remained numerous ball marks not repaired. This is obviously no fault of the staff, but no one in the club house ever reminds me to repair ball marks which might help. The sand traps are still unplayable. There may have been sand in some, but several were nothing but hard pan. Still like the course and will return, but I hope the continue to improve things.
A little disappointed
I have played this course before and the course conditions were much better. The fairways were very long and had clumps here and there that were well past the mowing stage. The sand traps were wet, but regardless were not well kept. I only hope they have kept the Big Blue course in better shape. If it is in as bad a shape it would be an embarrassment for the University of Kentucky to call it their home course.
Conditions
Ridiculous for such a nice course there is absolutely no sand in the bunkers on Wildcat. Crazy. 0 Get some freaking white sand in the bunkers!!
Always a pleasure
I love both Wildcat and Big Blue. Solid layouts, good conditions, fun to play.
Sweet deal
We decided to drop out of the bunkers on hole one (very bad) but other than some bad cart paths the track was really nice and a great value at $27.00. Fairways, tee boxes and greens were perfect!!!
Great Course
This is a beautiful course. We are here from Fl and was able to get a round in. Stay in the fairway though!
Will be back & often
First time we'd played at the University Club - Wildcat Course. I can't say enough how much i enjoyed playing there. Course was in outstanding shape even with the rain we have had. Tee's, Fairways & Greens were great, rough was manageable and the layout is set up for any level of golfer. Can't wait to get back and try the Big Blue course. If you are in the area or just passing through, play these courses. You will not be disappointed.
Great Round
I’ve played 6 or 7 different courses this year, and none have come close to being in as good shape as the wildcat course. Got a weekday round finished in 3 hrs and putts roll true. I’ll be back several times this year.
Great Course
Always love playing at UK Club. Thanks for the Hot Deal.
Great course!
Course was great. My foursome played the wildcat course and can’t wait to try big blue. Drainage on the course was great as it had rained a ton the days prior to us playing and didn’t affect the round at all. Greens were some of the best I have played on. I have a hard time paying $40 for a round but this place was excellent. Will be back soon!
