Great course and great weather

There was a threesome which accounts for $82.00 payment. 18 holes including cart. Tee boxes, fairways and greens all in excellent condition. Greens firm and fast. Quite a few leaves in rough but only to be expected this time of year.

Pleasant and engaging

Great course in great condition. Only "complaint" (not really) is that it's tricky to navigate and requires pro shop to advise.

Amazing condition

You don't even need to consider how dry the weather has been. This course is in amazing shape. The greens are fast and without weeds or ball marks, there is no reason to improve your lie on the fairways, and the tee boxes are pristine.

COURSE PUNCHED

Why is it that golf courses can't notify potential players, before they book, the conditions of their course. Specifically if the course recently punched and top dressed their greens. Simply put, the greens were unputtable. Very disappointing especially when you book online and there is no warning. I would have never booked. Beware golfers, fall time is green aeration time in KY...really should only be done in early spring before courses open for play. Stay away for 3 weeks unless it rains alot and call ahead. Don't be ripped off like I was. Sorry SCC I won't be back considering you only have 1 chance to make a good impression.

agree, there should be mention of aeration when booking. but fall is the best time to aerate, not just early spring. if we want nice greens , we have to deal with aeration a few weeks a year.

Nice tee boxes and greens

Nice tee boxes and greens. It has been very hot and dry upto Sept 4th. Therfore the fairways could use some water. Friendly staff and other golfers. The course is tight in some areas which makes it challenging for us amateurs. The golf carts seem to be governed down alittle. They should be a couple of mph faster. We enjoyed our round and will be back.

Shelbyville Country Club.

My 2 adult sons and I had a 10:30 tee time. There were 2 foursomes ahead of us and one of them was on the tee. Did not have to wait on them at all. The course is challenging and hard to play a few blind tee shots for any first timers. We have played there 3-4 times the last 3 years. The tees , greens and fairways are great. The long rough will cost you distance. A 5 star experience at a great Golf Now discount.We will go back. Mike Sadler

Very nice course.

The course was in great shape. The fairways had grass (not easy to have because of the drought). The greens were fast and for the most part roller true. The tee boxes were in wonderful shape and the sand traps were well groomed.

Perfect conditions. 80 degrees, sunny, breezy, low humidity. The course could have been in miserable condition in mid to late August, but the greens were pristine. The course was in very good condition overall. Worth the few extra minutes in the car from Louisville to take this in versus a Louisville Metro course!

Well Over Par...in a good way

It's the latter half of August. Many courses in the region are suffering from greens that are sprouting weeds or patches of rot. Club covers off to the course superintendent and the team maintaining Shelbyville Country Club! The greens were in impeccable condition. The fairways are in very good condition. The bunkers are loose and manicured. Dollar for dollar SCC is a great value. Don't overlook this course!

Probably slow as it was Friday afternoon

Lovely afternoon brought out the 4somes, some playing from the wrong tees. But overall a very good time.
