course in great shape

Have been playing this course about 6 times per yr since 2014 but lost interest because of deep ruff mostly front 9. This was my first visit back this yr & course was in great shape. Greens & fairways were great & ruff was much better. Hope they keep it up as I will return more often.

A good slow day

The greens were in great shape. The rough is what you expect from a Kentucky links-style course. It's a completely open layout with high grass guarding boundaries. The course was overbooked and the pace was extremely slow.

Rough not mowed at all

You can be one foot off the fairway and can't find your ball. Low rate vs balls lost...hunting balls all round even on shots you think are pretty good. Ridiculous

Good course

Course was in great condition but the staff needs to be educated on golf etiquette. The mowers will not stop for you to hit the ball and literally will drive 10feet away from you while you swing. This happened multiple times.

Overall great course

The par 5s on this course are legit par 5s. Every other hole seemed like a par 3 which i did not personally like. The rough was extremely long so if you don't hit fairways plan on spending extra time looking for your ball. Even the fairway grass was a little long. But overall is was a really good course and offered some challenges. There were also a lot of blind tee shots too

April 2016

Connemara is always good value for your money. Greens are still a bit firm and bumpy, fairways are magnificent - but as usual the tee boxes are a balancing act and the rough is way to long. At 6+" it makes finding you shot very hard and slows play to a crawl at times. Plus the height is dangerous to play. Where not at the U.S Open people

Early Season Review

First round of the year for me and first time at this course. Lucky to join a couple local guys that new the layout.

The practice area is very solid. Large well kept short game area and a good driving range.

The pro shop is nice as is the 19th hole although relatively small.

As a quick foursome we kept pace with the group in front. Never had to wait and the group behind us always seems a full hole back. There were several groups at the first tee lined up though. Not sure why the tee times weren't being followed.

The course still has some dormant areas and the spring mowing schedule hasn't started up for them yet. Bunkers still need freshened up for the season.

The course layout left something to be desired. The terrain they built it on however; forced the design. Several boring holes on the course that don't require imagination or don't have any originality. Several blind tee shots made it very nice having locals with me otherwise it would be tough picking a good landing area. The stretch of Holes 5 - 9 are the best stretch on the course. Well setup, good visuals, and they require some creativity. The rest blend together a bit.

Overall it was a fun round and I'm really interested to see if the course gets spruced up for the spring growing season.

Excellent value

This course has amazing views and has a variety of challenges based on your skill level. Playing from the white tees eliminates many of the blind shots on the course, but playing back from the blue tees can turn this course into a devil! Great staff and amazing course.

flat with no weeds and the greens are not dry.

Interesting layout

Very pleased with course conditions. Fairways and greens were in great shape...kudos to the grounds crew! Drove a little over an hour to get to the course, but it was well worth it. Front nine had basic layout with nice landscaping and trees...back nine was more links style. All in all, very pretty course!

Tough and tight.

Greens were incredibly fast with almost mini-golf type breaks. Pin positions were sometimes one pace from fringe. Out of bounds surrounds most greens. Small hard to hit greens. Very challenging course, but overall great conditions and well set up. Would play again if the opportunity arises.
