Beautiful State Park Course

This is my favorite KY public state park course. Great layout and beautiful course. I thoroughly enjoyed the round. It was reasonably difficult and I shot one of my best scores of the year on the course. This is a great value for the money.

Staff was really great—very friendly and helpful. Course was in very good condition for mid-August in Kentucky except for most greens, which were in bad shape, with lots of bare spots and pock marks.

Front 9 greens need work

Back 9 was enjoyable. Front 9 greens were rough, and I’m not sure what’s up with the gravel bunkers. The lake on the front 9 stinks pretty bad as well, but luckily you just have to drive by it a few times.

Course was in good shape considering recent rains. Could have used a little more roll. Greens were above average with som blotchy spot away from the pins. Staff was friendly. Challenging course with some hills around greens. Will play again.

Nice track for the price.

Layout has lots of character. Greens were in pretty good shape and when that is the case this course is really fun. Must hit it straight. Makes you think.

Beautiful course

The course was in amazing shape, fairways were freshly mowed and the greens were very nice as well. I loved playing there because the fairways were quite generous and challenging at times and I didn’t go through 14 balls trying to find them in the neverending rough. If you can get one of their weekdays hot deals for $24, it’s a no brainer. Highly recommend
