Always a challenge

Overall the course was in great shape. Fairways and greens were well maintained and rough was as tough as usual. Would have liked the starter or clubhouse staff to inform me the 18th green is under construction and not accessible. There's a "temporary" green set up about 40 yards short of the green with a flag inside a circle. Thanks to the reduced length and forgiving "green" I was able to walk away with my only birdie of the day : ).

Slow pace bunkers are awful

I have played belterra numerous times and it’s always a great challenge. 90% of the course was in great shape, however the bunkers were atrocious.

I understand some were under repair, but if you are paying 100+ for a course it needs to be under tip top shape. Only a few of the bunkers were playable.

Also the pace of play was terrible. It took the 2 of us 4:30 to play our round. Not always the courses fault but needs to be stated.

Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in awesome shape.

Coming to an end?

Professional staff, large pro shop with a great selection. Carts with Bluetooth and gps. My issues were some of the fairways had some type of pebble rock drainage system running through the middle of them. Some of the greens had patches on them, some were bare. Sand bunkers were a joke most under a tarp with hazardous cones. 9th/10th holes no where near clubhouse. I doubt any maintenance is being done. Factory in the rate and travel not sure this place will even be open in ten years. Just a shame.

Great course for Pros

This is one of the mos difficult courses we’ve ever played. It’s a beautiful and well maintained course with electric, GPS equipped golf carts. There was even a beverage cart but no liquor so my normal go-to transfusions were unavailable. They course is long and tight with lots of sand bunkers and water hazards. We were behind some members so the play was fast.

Meeting expectations easily

Belterra Casino GC has always come highly recommended, but I’ve never been able to get matched there from Frankfort, Ky. I’m not a gambler so I was never there to peep the course. But when I finally obtained an affordable rate through Golfnow, all the hype about the layout, conditions and views, were confirmed. I will definitely play as often as possible. I may even start placing a bet or two on the roulette wheel..... lol.

Great golf course but poor pace

Let me start by saying this place is awesome! Loved the layout, loved the greens and fairways! For early season golf, it was awesome! I will definitely be back based on these factors.

Now to the negative, our round was 2:40 in the afternoon, we were a twosome. When we got to the first tee there was a foursome in the fairway and no one on the green. By the 5th hole we realized the foursome had no intentions of letting us play through and we didn’t see a group in front of them at all! Fast forward to the 9th hole... cart GPS states it had warned the group in front of us to speed up as we were 38 minutes behind pace. Nothing changed!! We finished at 7:35.

Need rangers or golfers who know golf etiquette.
