Do-over
I was told that it was not a very good course but, we wanted to play a new course so we tried it. I was pleasantly surprised. The course was in good shape. The greens were quick and true, the fairways were in good shape. Some of the tee boxes were a little rough but, it was the end of August. I will recommend this course and I will play it again.
Senior Friendly
Second time playing this course. I now play from the senior tees and white tees here are in line with senior tees elsewhere. I brought two of town college friends with me each time and they too commented how much they enjoyed playing Connemara. It is a fair layout , attainable greens in regulation and wonderful condition. Greens are challenging yet the breaks are readable for the most part.
Highly recommend this golf course
Nice
Nice wide open course. Very good country course. Greens were no joke, super fast. You better not be above the hole.....
Great course for the price.
This is a beautiful course in Lexington, KY that has the one of the best courses to play on in the area.
Back to the first course
This is the first course I played years ago and it's still a decent course. The back nine has some fairly straight holes but the elevation can play tricks on you.
The front nine has par 5's that you can take adantage of but you have to watch the slopes. It's a fun course and the signature hole in my opinion is hole #11 Par 3.
Greens, fairways and t-boxes were in good shape.
I'll play it more often.
Nice course for a great price
First time playing this course. Overall I enjoyed the round. The course is fairly wide open and great for beginners. First course I ever played that had 3 of the first 4 holes were par 5's. A few blind tee shots made it interesting to try to find you drive. Place of play was a little slow even though the course was not busy.
In the past I wasn't fond of this course. Have played it several times recently and have been pleasantly surprised and pleased with the condition of the entire course. It is now one of my teams favorite places to play and the course and staff seem to be senior player friendly.
Unbelievable fairways and greens
Awesome course for the price you pay! Each hole has its own unique characteristics that enhance the features of the course that much more! Back 9 in my opinion offers more challenges, while the front 9 prepares you for the back with scenic surroundings! A personal favorite of mine was the driveable 8th hole, very exciting hole! I will be sure to visit again with just as much excitement! It would be great if all courses I played were like Connemara!
Holding up well
I had not played this course in 20 years and was pleasantly surprised that it has held up well over the years. I understand that the corporate ownership has invested in the course and it shows. Greens, while not terribly fast, rolled well. Fairways seemed to be cut narrow but were in great shape. Rough was a penalty but was consistent across the course. Bunkers were raked and filled with sand...no rocks or dirt that I saw. For the "good" golfer, this will be any easy round as there isn't much trouble outside of some thick lies in the rough. Only complaint I've ever had about this course is the grouping of the "pars". Par 5s are too concentrated; you start with 3 in the first 4 holes (nines have flipped in more recent history) and finish with 3 straight par 4s, so premium will be to score on the front nine. Also, the white tees we used to play years ago are aligned with the blue tees of today (~6200 yds). All in all, a great experience for weekday golf. Unlike some other courses in the area, Connemara has remained a nice course to play and one that I would happily return to soon.
Great condition
I had played Connemara several times in the past, maybe once a year because it's an hour and a half away. I had seen it in less than great shape sometimes, so I was very pleasantly surprised to find the condition much improved. Fairways like carpet, greens fast and true, even though they gave me fits with their subtle breaks. I have always liked the pampas grass markers at 150. I think they are classy and user friendly, you can see them from anywhere. The club house is a great old structure and they have a good menu. I have to say, also, that it was very chilly in there, with it being a very hot humid day was much appreciated. The golf carts looked brand new. Can't wait to go back.
Greens were in great shape
Course in good shape, greens in great shape.
Long native areas everywhere to divide the holes, so bring a few extra just in case.
A few quirky holes and a few blind shots but overall a fun and challenging course
Great layout
This course has a great, challenging layout. It is also in excellent condition. The carts are nearly new and always clean.
This course is in very good condition.
Course was in very good condition and the greens rolled true. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the layout. Will definitely go back
