Connemara Golf Course

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!

Course setup was nice and challenging. Some tee boxes were under repair which when they are done will make the course better. My biggest problem was with the conditions of the greens. Most were in serious need of repair. The greens were pretty bumpy which made putting and reading the green harder than what it should have been.

First time to play Conemara in a long time. The layout and condition of the rough and tee boxes were very poor. Greens were in nice shape. Although the course is wide open, if you miss the fairway you can't find your ball because the rough is so thick. You can also not hit out of it. With the amount of +25 handicap players at this course and condition of the rough, makes the pace of play unbearable. We quit after 15 holes because we waited every shot. I will not play here again.

When we arrived to Connemara Golf Course for our first time on Monday, May 5th we were greeted by a cheerful fellow behind the front desk. This being our first time to Connemara, he took the time to reach out to us and tell us about the facility. He was very knowledgeable not only about the course but the restaurant as well. He walked us back to the cart staging area and made us feel right at home. The rough was a little thick but manageable. The fairways were smooth and consistent and the GREENS were rolling true and smooth. A+ on course conditions. The menu they have in the Irish themed pub is outstanding, I would recommend the Connemara Club! We look forward to our next visit to Connemara.

Fairways was nice, pace of play was awesome. A lot of the greens was a little ruff.

My buddy and I tried to shoot 18 yesterday, but by the 16th hole we finally quit. We played some of our best golf ever, but the grass was so high we lost about 15 balls between the two of us. We spent a ridiculous amount of time searching for our balls "in bounds". You could not see the ball unless you were on top of it or it was on the green. I've never been so frustrated nor have I ever quit early unless it was weather related. Please fix the conditions before I give it another shot.

Connemara was absolutely gorgeous and fun to play.

In the past I have enjoyed coming out to Connemara but it is apparent that the course is needing some love. Tee boxes are some of the worst I've seen. Fix it and I'll be back.

Always love this course. I played on 4/2/14. Greens and tee boxes are still a bit atrocious at the time being with the cold weather just passing. I have faith that the staff will correct this soon. They are also creating new tee boxes at the moment as well. Once spring comes into full swing and I get to play it again, I have no doubt that the course will be in pristine condition.

The course was in good shape for this time of the year. The greens need a little more sun and warmth.
What made our trip was the friendliness of the staff.
We will go back again.

I like the course overall. The front presented a fun challenge while allowing opportunities for a low score. The back 9 is very boring ending with 5 par 4s in a row. There are a lot of uphill approaches to the green as well as blind tee shots. I shot and 85. If you make mistakes it is forgiving on most holes. I'd recommend playing here

Connemara is a player friendly course that is a good value at $14 on GolfNow!

The price was pretty cheap but I was not aware that the greens were in such bad shape. The staff was nice and the clubhouse is very nice but they didn't have any food options besides a hot dog.

This course is in great shape. Greens are rolling true, fairways are green.

The staff was very friendly and the experience was pleasant

Course conditions are great. Fairway and rough conditions are superbly taken care of and maintained.

This course is a great buy and a well maintained place to play.

Played this course on a Sunday. The entire time three+ groups on or waiting for a hole. Felt rushed the entire time as well as pressured to hurry shots for no benefit. Game suffered.

Nice staff, greens were super great best I've played on in a couple of years.
