Challenging course
The rough was a little long the morning we played. Making it very difficult for the members of our group that didn't play very often. But the design of the course and the condition of the greens and tee boxes made up for their length.
Beautiful and challenging course!
This course was in excellent condition and while the course was very busy due to a scramble pace of play was not effected and we coasted right on through! The course was in great form and the greens were groomed nicely, the greens were also very challenging. Carts are equipped with GPS which is always nice; all in all I loved the course and will definitely be returning to this course in the near future!
Hidden Gem
I've been wanting to play this course for awhile. Great layout. Course and Greens in terrific shape. Super friendly staff and patrons. The location may be off the beaten path, but well worth the drive through horse country. No disappointments here!!!
Great course!
This was my first time at Houston Oaks. To say the least I was extremely impressed with this hidden of a golf course. The GPS system was very effective and accurate. Greens rolled great. Fairways were in excellent condition. Was a pleasure to play the ball as it lies!! A definite must play in Kentucky!
Great condition of fairways and greens
The fairways were consistently good. Your could feel very comfortable hitting into the shot. The grass on the fairways wasn't too long.

Great visual course to play.
My son and I played this course on Sunday, June 30 in the afternoon. Course play was steady but good pace of play.
The course was in great shape even with the ample amounts of rain we have been receiving. Good fairways and greens with not overly thick rough made for enjoyable golf. Course plays long from the tips and has several par 3 holes at or over 200yds.
Gps on golf carts makes it nice for distance estimations. The cousre has several elevation changes and water is in play on a couple of holes.
This is probably one of my favorite golf courses in the Lexington area. I would definitely recommend it.
I would highly recommend this course.
Fairways and greens were in great shape. The greens were fast and true, however, they were firm and did not hold shots well.
excellent value
Houston Oaks was in great shape the day I played. I try to come play the course several times a year, and I love it every time. Best greens I've ever putted on a public course, and easily top 5 greens of any course I've played.
A great place to play.
A very well-maintained course, especially the fairways (when I could find them with the ball!). As a moderate player, I appreciate a layout where most of the lies were on relatively flat land rather than on a hillside. We arrived about 45 minutes earlier than expected and were allowed to go ahead and play...much appreciated!
This course is in great shape with great features
Houston Oaks is in great shape. The greens are well maintained and are very fast. The course layout is challenging. They also have great features. The carts have nice GPS systems with food ordering so that your food is ready when you make the turn. Great value for the money!
The course was great and the price was great
The rain came on 16 and we did not get the last 4 holes in. I asked the clubhouse about a rain check and they said I had to take it up with 'Golfnow' I think in the future I will just deal directly with the courses.
Course is always in good shape
Bunkers were washed out from recent rains. They were almost unplayable. Love the corse though.
caught a great deal
as stated above we caught this course for about 50% off normal pricing. The course was beautiful,. The fairways were like carpet and the greens were in great shape. long course but manageable. try it!
excellent condition, especially this early
Was expecting good course, but was surprised by high quality. Greens were about as good and fast as any I have played, fairways were near perfect.
Great course
Nice course few easy holes some challenging staff was very friendly
will return!!!!!!!
very good course, we played in mid april and course was coming around......very good shape for time of year. sand traps were the best we played in lexington area, which had a lot of rain two days before. fairways, tees and greens excellent. we had some trouble finding balls which missed the fairway as rough was plush and about 6 inches high. located in middle of horse country....beautiful drive up from lexington.
staff helpful and very friendly. gps on original cart wasn't operating and they changed out for us as soon as we notified them.
The golf carts with the GPS function was awesome!
Played early in the season and the course was in good shape for early April. I can see how when the roughs grow in and the greens are less fuzzy this course could be challenging.
Beautiful landscape
The holes on this golf course are gorgeous. Its nice to play at a course where someone rakes the traps like they are supposed to and the greens are not pitted and ugly. Even though it is still the off season this course was very well maintained and the surroundings are relaxing and enjoyable.
You can tell the fairways from the ruff
This is the best keep course I have been on for a long time
One of the best in central Kentucky.
This courses is always in great shape and maybe the best public course in Bluegrass region. Greens quick with a lot of break. Roll smooth. Tee boxs great shape and from the tips tough enough for the best golfers. Always enjoy Houston Oaks. Neat drive thru a old horse barn.
