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.

A Bit Challenging

My wife and I decided to take a short trip from home to play anew course...We could not have been more pleased with our choice to play Connemara.The course was in great shape.The lush green fairways and rolling hills made for a very scenic trac.Some of the greens were small and oddly shaped which made things a bit interesting.We would play this course again .

Great course but....

I really enjoy this course! My issue was the pace of play. Most courses have this issue from time to time and it could be solved with a staff member riding around and observing or asking others how the pace is for them.

We had an older group ahead of us that really needed a lesson on how to be courteous to other golfers. They backed us up and several behind us to the point we would have 3 carts waiting to tee off at our hole. We don’t play fast or slow nor do we care to wait a little but this was terrible.

Ahead of them was an adult with young kids who were taking pics instead of playing but they didn’t hold the older group up because they were very very slow.

A simple solution is a staff member riding out and asking what is going on when they see carts piled up on one hole waiting for one group.

I will be back and the course is great but people can be inconsiderate or even clueless as to what they are doing to others. It was a good day but could have been so much better.

Thank you

Tough rough

First time playing here. Course was in great shape. Few things I didn’t care for, lots of blind tee shots and crazy long rough. We spent a good 30-45 min of our round looking for balls. You could be 7-8 ft from your ball and not see it.

Not much in th way of trees, water or sand so I guess you make up for it with rough and narrow fairways.

I’d play it again and just use different course strategy.

We're sorry to hear about that! We do not provide rain checks on Hot Deals, however, as those are GolfNow-sponsored tee times. We apologize for any miscommunication and we hope you'll be back in the future for another round.
