Nice course

Cool course, not very difficult. Lots of short par 5s. Pace of play was rough. Round took 5.5 hours. At home we can be done in 3. Nothing wrong with playing bad, but atleast play bad fast.

Bunkers

Most if not all of the bunkers need sand in them and not river sand. We could not hit out of them due to hitting the ground and scolding the ball because there was no sand hardly in the bunker. Luckily I wasn’t in many of them but you can see that it’s like hitting out of clay. If they would only fill the traps with good sand it might be worth the price but it isn’t worth what they are charging right now.

Excellent Course

Everyone told me that this course is their favorite in the Ohio Valley. After playing it, I understand why. It is in pristine condition. Despite the hilly terrain, the fairways are relatively flat, with infrequent minimal sidehill lies. Coming from flatland Florida, it was fun teeing off from elevated tees. The greens had nice contours ajd were smooth. I'll definitely play here again on my next visit to the upper Ohio Valley.

Beautiful

This course was excellent. Very enjoyable round of golf. the starter was friendly and knew the layout of the course by heart and went over the terrain with us before we headed out. Driving range available and accessible to both the Jones and Palmer courses. Fairways were like carpet and the greens were immaculate.

Nice course

The course is pretty nice,. Layout is not great with several blind tee shots on the back 9 and a stupid 90 degree par 5. Lots of overgrown brush and trees impacting sight lines on some holes. Pace of play was dreadful with no enforcement of golf etiquette. The starter saw me playing the back tees on #10 and told me to move up. Little did he know I was even par on the front 9 and I never even played here before. How about enforcing pace of play for those who need guidance and leave good golfers alone.

Prime carnage....

One of the hardest courses around and she's in prime form now. Greens and fairways are firm and fast, rough is thick and bogeys are everywhere.

Great value

Best course for price for a Saturday. Fairway grass need to be shorter. Backed up all the way around so that took away from the round. Course is just tired but can’t complain for the value for Saturday play.

Ready for 2026 season...

Coarse is in great shape going into the 2026 season. It's going to be a challenge and a half when it gets into the summer season.
