University Club of Kentucky - Wildcat Course

3rd time playing the Wildcat course and once again the greens were horrible. I expected so much more and after 3 times of being disappointed I will not return.

The course was in great shape! I'm surprised how true the greens were in November! Great layout!

This course is great because you'll have to play a variety of different tee shots. The course forces you to play a tee shot that sets for the next shot, and if you miss-hit the tee shot it'll be very hard to hit the green...unless you're good with your long irons. I played late in the season and the bunkers were not playable. Other than that I have no complaints.

Course was in rough shape. Bunkers were mostly dirt. Pace of play was over five hours. Nice layout but too difficult for average golfers.

Played Wildcat today for the first time in at least two years and to say that I was caught off guard by how bad the conditions were would be an understatement. Almost all rough around greens is completely dead. If you missed a green you were chipping off bare earth. The fairways were in good shape, but most of the tee boxes were riddled with crab grass and just beat up. Most greens were okay, but there were several that were in really rough shape.

The most infuriating part of the round happened on the 10th hole when we had to navigate our way through sprinklers in the fairway. I get it, it hasn't rained here at all over the last month save for one day, but you can't have the fairway sprinklers on a timer on a Sunday afternoon. Our cart, bags, phones, & wallets were narrowly spared (less than 3 feet) when a sprinkler randomly kicked on next to us!

But it got worse. I called the pro shop to let them know that this happened and to ask that they not do this to us again in subsequent holes, and not only did I not get an apology but I was advised that the sprinklers were on a timer and there was nothing he could do, and that simply by playing golf, having a sprinkler pop on during right next to you is simply something that can happen during a round. He tried to explain to me that it hasn't rained (which I knew) and that there should be some reasonable expectation that you might get hit with a sprinkler on the golf course if you're playing. A complete joke. I get that you have to water the course (it looked like they over watered by the greens killing all the rough), but don't put the sprinklers on a timer on a weekend afternoon. Manually go out and kick the sprinklers on and off around the golfers. It's not rocket science.

Needless to say between the poor conditions and almost getting soaked by a sprinkler (and being told that it's something that I should just expect can happen) I will not be returning anytime soon.

Outstanding course. Very challenging course. Greens could use some work. Will definitely play it again. Great local course. Found it to challenge my skill set. I play about twice a week.

Course was in excellent shape. It was much harder than your average public course. My only complaints are the cart paths and bunkers. The cart paths looked and felt like an earthquake had destroyed them. And the bunkers had hardly and sand in them. I found the billy bunker system with my new Cleveland wedge which I was not happy about. Other than that I was very happy with my round on the wildcat course.

Pretty good track for the money. My only problem was needs starter on weekends. Pace of play was terrible and bunkers had zero sand in them. That being said course was good shape and fairways,

Spend a little money and these things easy fix.I would definitely play again.

Played years ago and course was awesome! Played yesterday and greens not in good shape and the cart paths where terrible! Better riding off of them than on them! Worst in the State!

Course was in great shape. Little slow due to number of rounds on the course but not terrible. An absolute value in Central Kentucky.

A good course...greens were quick...but had a lot of dead spots...also dead spots in the fairways (burned)...the bunkers were hard as a rock...almost impossible to hit out of them. It was worth the $25 I paid (on special), but certainly not more.

Course is in great condition minus 3 greens that had recently been aerated. I really enjoy the layout.

Was off at 7:45 was done by 10:15 Had some interesting holes. Greens were great. Only problem was cart path beats you up. Very pleasant working personnel Would play again

The course conditions were good for this time of year. Will play here again this summer!

The course was nice, but the staff had a ..could care less attitude, I told him it was my first time playing this course and he offered no advice, I had to ask where the 1st hole was! Didnt offer a scorecard even though there were none on the cart.

We made it out on Black Friday, on a breezy and overcast day. The course was in good condition for that time of year. The place wasn't busy so the pace of play was fine for a threesome. The bunkers were in average shape and still had some sand. The rough was worn due to a couple of prior freezes. The greens were fast and had recovered well from being aerated.

Good mixture of holes requiring either finesse or length. Excellent par 3's. Definitely would play again on return to area.

Beautiful, easy well built course. Very enjoyable, one of the best playing conditions in the Lexington area

9am tee time on Labor Day Monday. Obviously it's going to be fairly busy, so we expected that. We were a 2-some following a 4-some where 3 of the 4 men were walking. I lead with this so you'll understand why i rated the pace of play as poor. This gave us plenty of time to really look at the course though. Which wasn't a good thing. The Wildcat side seemed like it hand't been watered in weeks! If you had a nice patch of grass to hit from in the fairway, you were LUCKY. Tee boxes weren't great either. Had we paid the quoted price, i'd have demanded a refund for the back 9 at the turn. It's my hope that the Big Blue side is in much better condition. If i were the powers that be at UK, i'd ask my name to be taken off the front signage.

One of the top public courses in town. Very busy on a Saturday afternoon so pace of play was very slow.
