Nice course

Wide fairways invite big swings. The rough is cut but challenging. Greens are on the smaller side which is okay but they were slooooooowww. On the good side, the greens were rolling true and in very nice shape. Fairways were all in great shape like 9/10 and lush but well groomed. I'm assuming that the bunkers were supposed get sand at some point but never had a problem. Staff was all pleasant and friendly BUT there was no cart service on the course AND no water coolers on the course. I would play again at the bargain price of $50. Also, there is NO practice facilities so go hit balls at a range before getting to the course.

Will play it again

Our foursome drove over 100 miles to play. Apparently it had rained quite a bit so it was cart path only. I wish we had notification prior and we would have taken push carts and walked it. This is a big course so it can be a long walk from the path to the other side of the fairway. Take your driver and let it rip, there’s plenty of room. Fun to play. Greens were nice but a bit slow. I do wish people had the courtesy to repair ball marks. I probably fixed more than 50 fresh ones from the groups in front of us. Great staff. We will definitely play again but only if it hasn’t rained for a while.

Nice Course

The course is very neat and not too challenging. It was wet when I played but the greens were a little slow. My biggest issue was that they let a group of 6 out in front of us and the group wouldn’t let us play through. Had to skip a hole and come back.

Overpriced

The tee boxes were in terrible condition, the geese problem is ridiculous for the price to play. Requested a refund when it started pouring down rain and the grumpy old man working the counter said no. Ive played this course several times - definitely disappointed. Don’t make the drive or waste your money.

Tall grads

Me and 3 others from out of town decided to play this course and the grass on the front 9 seemed like it hasn’t been cut in over a week. Everything else was great. Just that one issue.

Links!

Really enjoyed playing this course, especially the back nine. Links style definitely punishes you if you miss hit or overestimate your abilities. Pace of play was excellent and probably due to a cloudy rainy day. Would play again.

Not bad for the first day of spring .

Course was in decent shape considering last year they shut it down for ONE month without any grounds crew. Which is golf course suicide . They spent most of last summer getting the course back in shape . They just plugged the greens a couple of weeks ago so they are healing nicely . Only knocked I would have is the greens are really slow . They could use a cut . But all and all not bad and hopefully they keep the course in great shape because it’s a fun and great layout!!!

Course condition

They had just opened course three days earlier, so the greens had just been aerated. Would have been nice to know while booking tee times.

Another Tim Liddy Gem

Another great Liddy track. Course has a gentle rolling site, wild greens, and unique bunkering. Conditions were great and course has a great location near Ohio River.

Late November round

Late November round. Course is very green roof was full and greens did not show any signs of aeration. Considering just days before December the golf course is in great shape. I will be back to play again for sure
