This is a hilly, challenging, but fair golf coarse. I will definitely play here again. Greens are in great shape.

Hilly, wooded course

Good value. Don’t use your “A” balls, easy to loose. Greens rolled well just a little below average for speed. #2,5&7 tough driving holes.

Henderson

We tried this course for the first time and enjoyed it. Very challenging with steep hills and tree lined paths. I felt it was a good value as well especially for 9 holes. The only downside of that day was that we were approached by a group that were Cleary intoxicated. I don't think it was exclusively alcohol. They weren't mean, just scared me to think that they would leave the golf cart at some point for a real vehicle and be on the road. Didn't know golf was the kind of place for that, thought more the bars or pool hall.

Very Hilly Kentucky State Park 9 Holer

Course if part of the Kentucky Parks System and is only 9 holes. Course appears to be on a tight budget and the conditions were so-so. However, if you are a fan of elevation changes, blind shots and quirk this is your course.

Great value!

Long and challenging course, mostly because so many greens are hidden from below, but we’ll maintained amd greens are nice.

However, this app and the golf course need to get together to straighten out the cost per 9/18 holes!

Craziness

This course has crazy amounts of elevation changes. Several holes that you can’t see the green from the tee. Greens are in good shape but rather slow rolling.

Hidden Treasure

Forgot about this gem; played twenty-five years ago and its beauty made more of an impression on my now that I'm older and can appreciate it. It is difficult for an average golfer if hills are a challenge to you. The greens were very nice, considering the time of year and little rainfall lately. It is within the park, which is another treat in itself.

Great course.

Well maintained course, especially the greens. Quite a few hills, which leads to a lot of blind shots. Trees surround nearly every hole with not much forgiveness left or right. I do not think there is a better course for the money. The only thing that keeps me from rating it 5 stars is that it is only 9 holes.

Challenging course hilly and narrow in spots. Some of the greens struggle in high humidity damp conditions. Value and fun are excellent! Staff is always friendly and helpful.

Nice Course for the $

Course was in good shape. Tee boxes could be flattened up. The course is very hilly and makes shots more difficult because you are never on a flat lie. They are normal greens fees are pretty slow and the hot deals are even better.
