Great course for the money.

Course was in amazing shape especially for this time of year. The only negative of the round was it was during peak hours and somebody thought it would be a good idea to bring their kid and let him take twenty shots off of each tee box and completely killed the pace of play it took 40 minutes to play the first two holes due to waiting on them. We ended up skipping the 4th hole which is a par 5 entirely to pass them and another slow foursome. After we started play again on the fifth it was like we had the course to ourselves because the people ahead of them were two holes ahead even though they tees off right before them. They need more active marshals during peak hours or something. Great course though and easy on the wallet. I have played here a couple of times a year for the last three years and it is always a good time.

You need to have your workers cut the grass and fairways early of a morning instead of doing it while ppl play they get in the way too much

Squeezing in a round before Winter

The place was basically empty. A few other players but we had the course to ourselves. My only wish about this course is that the rough was mowed tighter. Many times we spent several minutes to find a ball that was only 2 feet off the fairway but buried in the grass. We all hit shots like this and this wound help a golfer not spend so much time looking for the ball. The course was in great shape.

Good

I am an average player...this course though pretty open has tough greens. If you can always shoot straight (Yes right lol) and get it on the fairway, you have a good game. Also, some par 4 are long. The only complaint (or two) I have is that there was no water in ball washers (probably removed as the cold season is starting) and the blue markers are actually the whites on the map at the tee box.

All in all, it is a good course. I enjoyed it.

Plenty of scoring holes

Getting a few birdies on the front nine is very possible. Get through the Par 3’s unscathed and take advantage of the straight par 4’s and you can have a very good round.

The course is in good shape and the clubhouse is a great place to relax and take a break on the turn.

This is a good course to play. I will continue to play here.

Fast Greens

Started off with back to back Park 5's! Then Park 3, then ANOTHER Park 5. I Loved it cause I can hit Driver, 3wd n be right there. Big fairways, DON'T MISS, Some Serious Rough. Rolling hills on some, nicely laid out. Your chipping n putting game BETTER be on! Fast not got Faster! Part 3 think was Hole 8.... pure evil. If not putting up hill by some miracle you got to sit on, the put Will be off the green. Watched 3 some in front of us, guy landed beautiful high iron on back of green. Putting went off into deep Valley in front, he picked up. My buddy landed in Valley on tee, beautiful chip up, talking 12-15 ft, stuck back of green. Putt went off back to valley... yup, he picked up too! Enjoy Ladies and Gentlemen!

Best Value Around

They have done an amazing job rejuvenating this course. It is in the best shape I have ever seen it. Greens are firm with decent speed. Fairway and rough are both solid. I got it for $16 and its definitely a steal for that value. Kudos to alltech and the staff for pumping some money into the course. It's come a long way.

Nice layout and an excellent value. They are reseeding the fairways and the course is in overall good condition. Only negative is some of the bunkers could use some work.

Impressed!

Got a hot deal on this course and had never played it so I gave it a shot not expecting much for the price. Was I ever wrong! Everything was just about perfect..gorgeous fairways especially. Hats off to the maintenance crew..the only real fault I could mention is that the tee boxes needed more attention. Friendly staff to boot. Will definitely play again.

Great Course

I fell in love with holes 5, 6 and 7. Not a better group of holes in this area. The bar dining area is spectacular love the wood and decorating but staff was a bit scarce as one person was trying to cover the proshop and lounge.

Maintenance & Course Control

While the fairways were in good shape, the 1st cut of the fairway had not been maintained recently. The 2nd cut off the fairways had also not been cut back recently.

Realizing that it was Labor Day, the pace of play was exceptionally poor. My son & I finally decided no to play the last 3 holes on the back 9 because it had taken nearly 2 hours just to play 10 - 15.

Still enjoy playing the course!

We showed up and the parking lot was full! We could see golfers around and thought ok just be patient and enjoy the day.

To our surprise the pace of play was nice and the course was in great shape.

I played some of the best golf I have played in a few months. The wind was gusting but it was a beautiful day on a nice well maintained course.

It's just a clean place inside the clubhouse and on the property. Must play course in Lexington.
