Fun course!

Had a great time, some easy holes, some more demanding. Should have played more irons off the tee for position. Next time!

Fun course. Great condition.

Great course. Fun layout. Conditions were perfect. Unfortunately we got caught behind a number of large groups 5+ at hole 9.

Course was in great shape from tees to fairways to greens. Course layout is unusual with a tee or 2 close to a green that that does not follow that hole. Look for the signs. Getting used to that. Pro shop could use a better organized snack bar. Overall it is a great value.

First Impressions

Great course. Greens awesome, layout great!!

Fun course. Play a few more times to figure out the holes.

Only issue was lost a few extra balls due to high rough, but then that is golf!

Had a great time, club pool was hopping…,members were friendly and helpful when i got lost which was more often than usual. Course overlaps itself several places,

But artfully done…..

I would play again and it is 40 miles from Lexington.

Shelbyville GC is a great semi-private course!

For a club that has a large membership, SGC does a great job welcoming non-members and making them feel comfortable. Members are friendly and helpful. Course is well-maintained and offers plenty of challenges during every round. It's fair for all levels of play. I highly recommend playing this course if you're in the Louisville area.

Fun Fall Round

Nice personnel greeted us in the pro shop. Headed out to a nicely manicured course. Greens rolled well. Rough offered good challenge without being too thick. Shorter course with challenging, thought provoking layout. Playing a second round would go better after a learning round. Only beef is the REALLY LONG par 3's. Yeah, not getting par on those. Pace was great with a later tee time and imperfect weather, fewer folks on the course. Would play again, especially with the hot deal on GolfNow.

Nice Course

First time I played here but really enjoyed it. The layout is a little hard to navigate but I made it around fine. Helps to know where you can and can’t hit it off the tee so the second time will be better I am sure.

Shelbyville C.C.

Played there once 2 years ago. Course condition has improved.Greens had been dressed 2-3 weeks ago and were still a little bumpy. Fairways were long, leading to too many leaves in landing areas. Area has been dry so could have been mowed. Overall a good course and staff was friendly. The twosome we joined knew the course or the blind drives would have been a big problem. Worth trying again soon.

FUN, FAIR, ALWAYS A GOOD TEST

I have played this course off and on for 35 years. I always enjoy the layout and overall quality of the course. The greens need about 2 more weeks because they were still quite sandy and a little slow from being aerated 2 weeks ago.

Challenging golf course.

Greens conditions is a highlight of this tricky golf course layout. Be very careful in locating hole numbers 3 & 6 tee boxes. It is easy to get off track here. The course has plenty of length to challenge big hitters off the tees, even though blues are the tips. No pro tees. Lots of blind shots and OB throughout.

Couldn't Play

Always enjoy the course, and the GolfNow rate. But had a schedule conflict come up that morning. And unfortunately, long phone wait with GolfNow customer support prevented me from cancelling for a refund.

Very good course

The course was in great shape with the exception of a couple of tee boxes. Would definitely play again.
