no complaints

the course was the best shape it had been in years all the greens was in great shape except no. 8 which they had fixed and the had he bad part roped off where it could heal. number 2 green which was in bad shape the last couple of years was in great shape now the tee boxes was in great shape they cut lots of trees down to get air flowing the fairways are starting to come out nicely. Thanks for all of your hard work a great course is now better. plus the staff was great too like I said no complaints. plus the got almost all the bunkers redone with sands in them.

Kind of slow

Love the course. Greens are a little slow, should get better as weather improves. Wish they had a marshall stopping slow play.

good value

I play this course about 4-6 times a year. Love the layout and there are some challenging holes, but they are fun. The greens were a little slow, but in good shape. The fairways are still a little brown, but they are coming in to green soon.

Still waiting on the fairways to come in

Not bad for April 10th. Saved $10 on golf now. Faiways have yet to even show signs of greenery. Greens were probably aerated within the past two week, still bumpy, but playable. Not worth $40 yet, still should be winter rates until the fairways turn green. $25 course at best for now, but still playable.

Slow play on slow recently aeriated greens

Wasn't aware greens had just been aeriated and they were very slow. Very slow play. Fairways are dormant Bermuda and very thin. Sand traps are 8n good condition.

Staff excellent Great course

Purchased on golf now. Staff let me and wife out before a group of 12. Pace of play for a Sunday very quick - little over 4 hours. When we finished- headed to pro shop - staff met us at door and held it open for us. Also thanked us for playing there. Course has a great layout- very open landing in most areas and greens very large. Select approach club intelligently or 3 putt in your future. Had a few of those. Greens smooth and thankfully not real quick - lots of undulations and slopes. Very fun course to play! Cannot wait to play it again. .

Beautiful scenery in the middle of Bardstown

Nice layout with some beautiful scenery. The greens were aerated but they still rolled well. Large greens, some with a lot of contour. One par 3 had a large drop in elevation. Another one was a monster from the back tees. I have only been there one time before and that was years ago.i don't plan on waiting so long to play it again.

Good condition.

Greens and fairways were in good shape. Fairway mowing was being done. This layout has steep approaches and a few blind shots. Target flags visible from most tees were helpful. Course was more enjoyable since I had played it before.
