Barren River Lake State Resort Park

The course was in great condition. The greens would have been very good if people would just take the time to repair the ball marks! Staff was very friendly and helpful. I'll be back!

Barren feels like my home course. Plenty of challenge, beautiful views of the lake, back 9 is newer than the original 9 holes and will test your meddle. We play regularly using the Hot Deals and it is IMO the best golf value in the region

Challenging course with big penalties for not being in the fairway. Very nice, typical state park layout. Mostly rolling hills with challenging lies.

Rough right off fairway needs to be cut. Losing some greens.

Love this course and the variety of challenges, all amongst many beautiful views of nature

I enjoyed the course so much that I ended up playing 36 goles that day. Good course for the price.

The crown on the 1st fairway is your indicator ball placement off the tee is critical on this course for scoring. The fairway slopes can turn a seemingly great drive into a recovery shot for your 2nd. The back 9 is an adventure.

Advice: do not play your ball out of the sand. It isn't sand. It's a hard, rock mixture of terra firma with a Mars-like hue. You'll damage your club or break your wrist. I play no penalty take out and put it behind the trap.

Greens were in very good condition. Was able to play thru the 5-some and the 4+2. I don't lose my mind if they're slow as long as I can play thru.

Staff is friendly and accommodating. I arrived early and teed off early without issue. Back in a week or two!

This course is in excellent condition, with the exception of bunkers and sand traps needs work. Still enjoyed the scenery on the river. Nice course layout . Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nothing like some courses in Virginia and DC. I'll be returning many times this summer.

Course is very scenic and challenging. I will return

Enjoyed the course. Rough around the edges, no sand in bunkers but the layout was good. Due to mostly canted fairways running straight off into the woods, I don't foresee any fast players getting the sub 4 hour round they enjoy. Have played other KY state parks in general area that I like better (Boots, Mineral Mounds) but I will

certainly return for revenge now that I know what's happening on the blind/dogleg holes.

Course is in great shape , Not a Country Club, but plays well and is in great shape

the course was in good shape the fairways was mowed the greens was in good shape the bad day was that they had a heavy rainstorm before I got there it was cart path only which made for slow play the only bad thing about the course they need sand bunkers work they was full of water did not drain very well they need sand bad and several of them had some good size rocks in them they need to be rebuilt like I said a good course just pick a bad day that rain that morning

The routing takes full advantage of the rolling terrain. Greens are moderately sized and in great condition. Fairways areTight with not much rough before transitioning to forest. Course is very scenic.
