Connemara Golf Course

I returned to Connemara last year for the first time in quite a few years and found huge improvements to the course. I credit this in part to it being now owner and managed by Nicholasville, Ky. and International business man Pearse Lyons. I know that Mr. Lyons doesn't associate himself with anything that isn't first class and that is what Connemara is these days in my opinion. The course is in excellent shape, fairways, tee boxes, greens could you some improvement, but overall if you haven't ever played or haven't played Connemara in a long time, you will be pleased.

The Links style course which is a drastic change from everything else in Lexington is fun and exciting but can be hard because I lost a ton of balls just off the fairway.

Good play for the money, course was under minor construction. fairways and greens in excellent shape. Tee boxes were a little rough. Not crowded at all, nice and quiet place. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

It was very busy but not so make me frastrate. Price was good if you use GOLFNOW app.

This is a good course to play in the lexington ky area. The staff is friendly has great practice area. The only knock I have on the course was pace of play, it was a little slow. I love the greens they are always so quick and enjoy the way you have to read the greens.

I have played Connemara earlier in the year and didn't really enjoy the course. They have changed the layout of some of the holes #1 and #15, and that seemed to help reduce the number of blind shots. The fairways and sand traps are always in good shape there, but they did have a couple of greens that had been damaged by the weather conditions. I have to say that I enjoyed the round and the price was great. I will go back again soon.

I have played here for easily the last decade steadily, and they(new management/ownership) have done an amazing job upgrading this course. I really like the new layout, and love all the upgrades they have made throughout. The pace of play was really quick and you can't beat the Golfnow rates. They ran a twosome special, and we played in the afternoon for 25 apiece. Greens were in good shape and I love that they stretched out the holes to add distance. Shot an 83 and made a few birdies and played well from the tips. All in all, a good day of golf. This place is no longer the goat farm it once was.

The course was in very good condition considering we are in a dry part of the year.

First time playing the course. Friendly staff. The course overall was not extemely difficult. A couple of holes were blind shots; will be asier next time. Will definitely play again.

Course was in good shape for the most part. The greens were in bad shape though. Overall a good looking, fun course. I'll be back.

played in 2hrs 45mins fairways where great some tees under new construction greens where great

Love Connemara golf course! New changes to #1 and #15 make it more interesting than ever. Great facility, beautiful course, and well worth the cost to play.

Nice , fun course to play. Tee boxes in bad repair, but overall a good course to play. I will play it again.

For the last 3 years we usually play this course 2 times a year on weekends (group from out of town). In the past the pro shop staff guy was GREAT and always made us feel welcome that we chose this course and got us off to a great start but this year from the time we checked in was a different story. The guy (Lanny?) behind the counter seemed like he was lost trying to check in everyone and acted like he was doing us a favor letting us play there. The course was in a state of repair from the tee boxes to the greens. The back nine was again boring - wish they would have taken the money to move tee boxes to make the back and forth holes on the back nine more interesting. Probably be looking for a different course to play on future trips.

Great weather, the course in good shape, good times and most impressive was the hospitality by the staff at Connemara. From the front desk to the grill all made the effort to make my golf experience an enjoyble one.

I was giving this course a second chance after being disappointed a year ago Greens and tees were generally bad. Pro shop guy and course Marshall were welcoming and friendly. Dining/bar staff were indifferent. (Like they were doing ME a favored selling me something. ). Glad I got this at a hot-deal price. Won't go back

really like what they have done at this course! enjoyed it

I have played in past and was average course. They have put a lot of work on the course with flowers, shrubs and new tee boxes. Carts are new and clean. The fairways are great and greens are good. Still, there is a group of holes on back nine a little boring because all seem about the same. Overall very pleased and now will be my number one course if they continue good deals on Golf Now.

Tee boxes seemed to be under construction. Other than that, quality course.

I went to Connemara because I saw they lead Central Kentucky in reviews on GolfNow. I usually play in the Frankfort area but I thought I would venture out and see some other courses. I walked in just before Noon last Sunday (June 1st) & I was immediately met at the course by the one the staff members. He said hello to me, while he held the door open for me. He asked how I was doing today and seemed to take a legitimate interest in my well-being. (My expectations were exceeded within the first 30 secs of my arrival). I showed up at an inopportune time because the course was so busy but I was paired up with a twosome and was on the first tee box within 15 minutes of getting to the course. Because the staff paired me up with another group, pace of play was EXCEPTIONAL! The course was completely packed and we managed to play 18 holes with carts in 4 hours and 10 minutes! THAT WAS AMAZING! I am definitely not used to that kind of efficiency. We even stopped at the turn to get a couple of beverages (which were phenomenal as well)! I shot an 86 from the white tees and that is a few strokes better than I normally play. I have a USGA handicap of 14.7. The fairways were some of the best I have ever seen, in the state of Kentucky and the greens were rolling PURE! There are a few spots on 2 or 3 greens that I'm sure is left from the remnants of the ridiculous winter we had but it was extremely minor. They also had several maintenance crew members working on their new tee boxes. I was shocked that they had so many maintenance crew members working on Sunday, but I loved seeing them out there! They definitely take pride in their course! The two gentlemen and I ate lunch after our round and the food was INCREDIBLE! I thought I was at a high-end, private club, with the exception of the prices. I think the most expensive item on their menu was $7.99! The portions were more than enough! Needless to say, in my 18 holes, I spoke to probably 10-12 employees at Connemara and I love that! I will definitely be back and I am bring my friends with me. I LOVE THIS COURSE!
