Terrible Condition, even worse Staff

The course was in terrible condition, and not to mention how unfriendly the staff was. Definitely not worth the money and i only paid $16. Save your money and go to a course that is worth it. They charge Kearney Hill prices for a Meadowbrook course. The carts were nice, but that's the only redeeming factor of the course.

This round was played on 4/7/13, when the temps had still barely cracked 40 in Lexington, KY. I'm not sure what course would have been up to reviewers standards at this time of year given the weather. Playing exactly 2 weeks after this, we found the course to be in good early season shape. Find me another public course in this area that has greens that roll true, and bunkers this well maintained. The staff, for their part, were phenomenal, something that is missing from the majority of courses I play around this part. Tee boxes could use a little work, yes, but when we played it looked as though they were in process of working on some of those. Not sure this was a fair review from someone with obviously country club standards paying a mere $16 to hack it around.

Always a pleasure to play

Course is always in great shape and the staff is friendly and always smiling. Plus the covered carts are a good option to have on those colder days. There are some easy holes and some sneaky challenging ones too.

Great Course, Fairly Priced

We used to play Connemara many years ago, but it never ranked high on our list and was always just minimally maintained. With new ownership over the last several years, you can tell that they are putting a lot of time, money, and effort into the course now. Probably some of the best greens in the area, and they have added many features to the layout to improve both how the course plays as well as the aesthetics. We played this round early this year, but course was still in good playable shape. Should be spectacular in another month or so.

Since this has been taken over by Alltech this course has improved dramatically.

This course was in great shape for fall in Kentucky. I think its still a bit pricy for the location, but considering all of the improvements it definitely will be in my rotation moving forward.

This is a great value

The course is well kept and is one of the more accommodating in the area. I have tried some of the city courses and they were not as friendly as Connemara.

Great value.

Well maintained, and much improved over a couple of years ago. Alltech's attention to detail will continue to improve this course.

Meh

The course price does not match the quality of the course. Greens were rock hard making for a frustrating round. Course could probably use an upgrade on the irrigation system as well.

great course, challenging greens

This course is always in great shape when I play with the one exception of their tee boxes. They have always been in bad shape, resembling light rough, which is frustrating given the condition of the rest of the course.
