Course in nice shape; open and playable

Great course for a bachelor party with a wide range of golf skills. Course was in very nice shape despite some rain in the area in recent days. Greens rolled nice. The course is pretty open and very playable. It’s not terribly difficult tee to green but the greens have some slope making for some tough pin options. A few blind tee shots, especially on the front 9 but nothing surprising that you’re hitting into. Enjoyed the course and worth the cost!

Great day for Golf

Course never lets me down. Pretty simple layout but elevated greens on half the holes have you searching for the right club. Greens are in great shape with average speeds but consistent.

Nice public course

This course features the best bang for your buck. It is maintained very well and is fairly challenging in spots. Lots of blind tee shots is one negative, and the pace of play can be very slow at times. Nothing unbearable here.

Great Golf Course

Played on a cloudy day, course somewhat wet from rain the day before. This course is in excellent shape the fairways are excellent (just like the pro's play on). The greens are fast and in excellent shape. This course is layed out a little different than most but it is a challenging course. First 2 holes are par 5 holes with a very tough par 3 then another par 5. This gives you a chance for a good start to you round but it get quite a bit harder from there. I really loved the course and expect to play it a few more times. Sand traps were in excellent shape as were the tee boxes. All I can say about this course is it is EXCELLENT!!!!!

Great shape

Connemara has always featured an interesting layout but struggled with condition. In the past couple of years, this has all changed. The fairways are immaculate and the greens are in great condition. Tee boxes could use a little work but they're not bad. It's also nice to have nearly new carts.

A fair option close to Lexington

The course was in good shape. Some holes much more interesting than others. Beware of the many blind tee shots though, they can make it difficult to find balls even on good shots. The clover-shaped bunker is a nice touch, and the holes centered around the pond/fountain on the front are aesthetically pleasing.

Nice place

The course was in good shape. We always enjoy our time here. Only issue are the mid-rough just off the fairway. It’s impossible to find anything Much less a golf ball. Keep it straight or you will need a bag full of balls.

Really surprised!

I haven’t played at Connemara for several years. The last time I played, the course had seen too much play and not enough caring attention. I found a Hot Deal and my partner, who hadn’t played here for a number of years either, wanted to play here. We we’re pleasantly surprised right off as we entered the pro shop. Really classy! And the restaurant/bar area was true southern elegance! The course had been reversed (1 is now 10 and vis versa) from the last time we played. We immediately noticed the manicured fairways and landscaping around even the trees along the fairways! Bunkers were well maintained, cart paths were smooth, and tees were easy to find. The only things we noticed that detracted from the course quality overall were that the yardage markers on the sidewalks were all the same color (150 or 200?) and the greens are taking a lot of abuse from divot marks. The greens were awfully hard and difficult to hold but that may be a plus for some. The staff was friendly and crew polite and conscientious of play. (I do wish the Club could have made a little fuss over my partners hole-in-one. Witnessed by the grounds crew!!) Overall, great experience. I will be returning to play more often now!

blind shots, narrow fairways, and slow play

very frustrating round as there were so many blind shots that found dense rough off a fairway that was cut so narrow even shots you'd think were on line found rough. we paced off one fairway width of 20 feet which is a bit annoying given the amount of space available. pace of play was an issue and a call to the club house did nothing as we never saw a marshal at all during the round. really wanted to enjoy this course, but wasnt pleased with the experience.

narrow fairways, blind shots, and pace of play

frustrating round as there were so many blind shots that resulted in searching for a ball hidden in rough. fairways were cut very tight with one we paced at 20 feet in width. pace of play was slow for majority of our 2 group's round after the 3-some ahead of our 1st time got to the box 8 minutes late. a call to the clubhouse did nothing as we never saw a marshal the entire round. really wanted to like this course, but wasnt a fan.
