About Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park

Had great time

Took my wife with me, met 3 great guys. Two of them played a little slow. But all in all I had great time. And golf now saved me a good amount of money. Thanks

Still early season conditions

Not much grass in fairways and roughs. Hard sand in traps. Greens were good. I would enjoy playing the course again in season.

Greens looking good

Course was crowded but we got out before the crowds. Coming back to good condition quickly. Certain staff have a major problem with GolfNow. This time they weren’t rude.

Very nice

This was the first time that I had played this course and I was very pleased. The greens were immaculate for bentgrass greens in the summer. I would love to come back and play but I live about an hour and 45 minutes away. The course is very well kept and I had no issues whatsoever.

Golf pro only bad part of good day

We have used many golfnow vouchers without any issues. This time the golf pro would not allow us to play when we arrived early, even though only one person went out while we waited almost an hour for our official tee time. He did offer to let us go out if we payed an addition $15. What's with that. They weren't busy. We were told he was a real stickler about the Golfnow vouchers.

Ky Dam Golf Course

Best Fairways and Greens I've played on all year. This course is a lot better than I remember it being 10 years ago. It was a dirt path then. Kudos to the Turf management team. I'll be back. I highly recommend this course to anyone.

Staff aren't friendly if playing a Hot Deal

We are noticing staff seem to be short with us and not very nice if you are playing a Hot Deal. If they differentiate between full price players and those who pick up an extra round here and there for a good deal, then I have a real problem with that.

Combined tee times

Because I was playing by myself, the pro shop made me play with two other golfers. I kind of understand their reasoning but I am a below average golfer and the couple that I had to play with were above average golfers. I wish they had told me beforehand. I actually quit after 9 holes because I was so uncomfortable and not able to enjoy myself.

Enjoyable Round

We had an early afternoon tee time, There was no one rushing us. My only constructive feedback would be the condition of the restrooms out on the course. They could use some sweeping out of spider webs and stuff. Other than that the course is very well maintained. Lot of nice landscaping. Plan to go back soon.

Nice layout with fun, challenging shots for all

My wife & I love coming here to stay & play. The course is always fun to play & in reasonably good condition. You can't beat the price either. Well worth the $$.
