Nice track!

I have played this course many times and always enjoy it. The layout is interesting as you wind through trees and near to My Old Kentucky Home to hear the chimes playing Stephen Foster tunes.

A Wonderful Afternoon

The Old Kentucky Home Course was a most enjoyable play. The weather was great. Greens are very slow and somewhat spotty; overall, however, they played well. Fairways and rough were in great shape and played very fairly. The virus situation has amenities at a minimum, but the staff is doing the best they can to ensure beverages are available for all who want them - get them at the clubhouse and take them with you. If you don't want to deal with elevation changes (both fairways and greens) don't play here. The course rolls and rolls, but it not is not unfair in any manner.

Pro shop attendant was super!

We drove over 60 miles to get to the course. When we arrived, we learned that there was a miscommunication on my Golf Now reservation which had failed to disclose some critical course restrictions. The gentlemen in the pro shop bent over backwards to accommodate the issue and we ended up having a spectacular day on the course. It's one of my favorite courses due to its interesting layout. The only issue is common to every course with mid-to-late summer grasses in the fairways. The fairways were brown and dormant and every lie was hard pan. Not a fault with the course.

Course popping into great spring shape, but could be better. No excuse to not have greens tended and cleaned for weekend play.

Nice course

Greens and fairways are well kept. But due to the covid-19 the cups on the greens were above the surface

Nice course, solid layout, conducive to good scoring

I liked the course quite a bit, as it had a nice layout, cool par 3’s, and an interesting set of holes. The back 9 is probably a bit better than the front. The only quibble I’d have with My Old Kentucky Home Golf Course is the dormant Bermuda grass in the winter months. I’d probably rate the course 1/2 star higher with leaves on the trees and green fairways, but by no means is this ever not an enjoyable course to play. Especially playing from the middle tees it’s a very accessible course where one can score well and you get what you deserve.

A must if visiting bourbon country

What a great course. A couple of greens were victims of an algae/fungus, but fairways and the remainder of the greens were great. Tee boxes were rock hard, a victim of the near drought conditions in the Bourbon Country area. First time to play this course, but will definitely include it in future trips to Bourbon country.
