Beautiful scenery

Beautiful scenery very nice layout felt like we were the only ones on the course on a busy day. The only downfall were the greens were not in good shape quite alot of crabgrass made it difficult for a good roll. But for what we paid on golfnow definitely worth the $$$$

GREAT GETAWAY COURSE!!!

I’ve been playing this course off and on the last 6 years through different owners and managers. The current state of is the best it has been in that time. This place is a hidden gem. The new manager Chuck is GREAT and really working to make it a great experience for golfers and stay and play people. If you have any issues CHUCK is ready to work with you!

Great layout

Although turf conditions are not at country club expectations, they are more than playable. Greens are receptive to shots and do hold. Think back to when you were a kid playing on a muni just for the fun & luv of the game...you will truly appreciate the magnificent layout and overall difficulty of the course.

Improving but still has some needs

Staff is really working hard on improvements. Greens are better and grass is being cut regularly. Cups need to changed more frequently, once a week is not enough!

Great course

Love the layout and scenery. Greens are getting better which means they are working with them. Staff is awesome. Club Manager really cares about the course and the players. Really could use a good sports Bar and Grill now that it is Wet in that part of the County. Will Play there every chance I get.

Needs work but getting better

Always love the layout and scenery that surrounds the course however there still needs to be a lot of work done to return the course like it was in the past. When we arrived we were told that the greens had just been areiated and that's okay but there was still weeds and big clumps of grass that wouldn't let you hit a straight putt. Also on the back nine the cups haven't been changed in a while and most were higher than the putting surface that wouldn't let your ball go in the hole. The fairways were in pretty good shape and the rough was mowed and we played in around 3 hours. I look forward in returning in the future to see if the owners keep improving the course.

They are bringing it back!

Always loved this course. Fell on hard times the last few years but new management is bringing it back!! At one time a top 10 course in the state. Fantastic to have a quality golf course at the lake. Layout has always been fun. No negatives from me---new management had a lot of work to do and it is getting there!! Keep up the good work---will be coming back!!

Happy to see course recovering

Course has recovered tremendously since the Texan's stole all the money. The course looked great. The greens were overrun with crabgrass & dead spots & were very slow. Recover the greens & fix a couple water leaks & I would play there regularly. My wife & I love this course. 1st & 18th holes added some cool wood sculptures.

Slowly coming back

The course still shows the effects of being left to die. They are doing a good job of bringing it back, but it will take some time. Still for the cost of $25 it was fun even with an hours drive there

Not Optimistic

I like relatively close to this course so that the drive out to it isn’t so bad. I remember this course 10 years ago and understand that new management has it now and while they are making some improvements I don’t think I am going to be back any time soon. The tee boxes were rough length and not mown (maybe dead in spots). Fairways were not mown and no real definition of where rough ended and fairway ended. Greens were bumpy, slow and impossible to attempt to make putts on (playing parts and I had did 2 putt rule). My playing partner and I were both very disappointed at the price for the course being what it was. For even $17 on a weekend it isn’t worth it. It’s worth about $5 in the shape it is in. Hopefully they turn it around but I will not be back until I see some good reviews on here.

Slowly but surely getting better.

Course is getting better and you can tell that the new owners are trying, but it needs a lot more work. It is a great value for the hot deal price. The layout is exceptional and the bunkers were perfect but the tee boxes and greens need work.

will be getting in better shape

the greens are getting better since it was closed for a couple of years more green than brown now. was aeriated the day we played but we knew that before we went the fairway was mowed good the rough was a little tall on a couple of holes. with the leaves changing and falling still was a good round of golf hope they keep working on it mainly cutting the briars and weeds around the fairway near the woods and especially between holes 4 and 6 use to be tall fescue now the weeds take away from the beauty of the course

Lafayette Surprise

Fairways a little long, but very playable. Greens very good for this time of year. Everyone moved along nicely. Very friendly players and staff complimented the good playing conditions.

Getting better

This course has improved greatly from the beginning of the season. But don't show up with high expectations. The greens are slow and don't roll as true as you'd like. But if you get a good deal on GolfNow this course is well worth it. The layout and views are hard to beat by anywhere in Kentucky.

Potential

Was a great course, can be again. Much work being done and lots more needed. Priced way to expensive for current playing conditions. Range ball quantity/price was criminal. but at least the range is now open.? I hope they continue to repair but will prob wait to play until get a better value for dollar. Shame.
