University Club of Kentucky - Wildcat Course

This course was always in excellent/above excellent condition until fairly recently. Seems like the owner is only concerned with keeping Big Blue in great shape. I’ve been playing both courses for around 20+ years and this is the worst Wildcat has ever looked by far. The greens have diseases, bare spots throughout and fringe, ball marks peppered everywhere, it’s really sad how they’ve let it go but it’s still a nice layout and value.

This course used to be one of my favorites to play in Central Kentucky. The layout is a fun layout. However, the course was in such poor condition that it took away from the fun. The greens were in poor condition. The fairways were bare in spots. And the collars looked like they were diseased. It was sad what that course has become.

Nice course and layout. Slow play as I was to have been paired up with a twosome but they didn't show. No worries as I don't mind playing as a single when playing a new course. The trouble is when you stuck between foursome and at the 2nd tee there always some wise guy who got a snide comment about why did they let single out and we'll it's going to be a long day for you. That's because they didn't have enough curiosity to even let you play through. So yes it is an unnecessary long day and waiting. No starter or ranger who could have help remedy both issues.

The course conditions were very good overall. The sand traps were questionable. There were some sand traps that were there one my previous round that were now grass and patchy. The worst was it was 95 degrees with a heat index was off the chart and I didn't see but 1 water station. All in all it was a great day and the course was in good shape. I would play it again.

It seems like every time I play here it has been over booked. Wether it’s big blue or wildcat. You can’t find any rhythm because all you do is stand around. It’s a shame because it’s a nice course but very poorly managed. I won’t ever book here again. So frustrated. We couldn’t even finish 9 under 4 hours.

For years it seems wildcat was an after thought to Blue. However, it seems that more care has gone into this side of the property recently and it shows. It’s starting to look like it did 10 years ago again, if not better.

A lot of rain recently so the greens were very slow, the fairways were ok, some bare spots and the rough was very penal. As the home of UK golf I expected a better maintained course. But again maybe that was due to the weather.

Would like to play the other 18 next time.

We as in my playing group Hated the slowness of the greens. They were bumpy, shaggy and slow. Very hard to make putts. Other than that it was a fun day!!!

Really enjoyed playing the Wildcat course for the 1st time. Very accessible and forgiving for any level. Only drawback was the sprinklers were on for the first few holes. Made for some fun dodging.

Very pleased with course conditions and staff. Challenging, but fair. Our only issue was with our GPS units. We would be on a hole but GPS would show that it was a different number. Just a little confusing. I guess the hole designations have changed st some point. Definitely will play again.
