I have played the Pioneer course many times and consider it my home course, however on Tuesday I was so disappointed and shocked! My coworker and I played the front 9 on the pioneer, but as we were getting ready to tee up on the tenth, we were told that there was at least an hour wait due to the crazy amount of leagues playing at the same time. We proceeded to complain to the clubhouse and try to get our money back but we just got shown the door and told that the manager wasn't even there!. I'll probable never play here again!!!
Good Place
Always a good experience playing on this course. Only issue I saw this time were the greens were rather hard for the time of year.
Pioneer
The golf course was in perfect shape. The 9:50 tee time was ovver booked. There was a group of 7playing in front of us and they all teed off in front of the two of us.
They could have easily let us start and not held us up the whole 18. The group in front of us mostly waited to tee off when the group in front of them was on the green and they were seldom in the fairway so they weren't going to hit anyone.
Thank you for the feedback. We hope you enjoyed your visit and would love to have you back again. Have a great day!

Repeat golfer at Kenton County
As it is a popular course in my area it’s hard to get through quickly but with that being out of the way I don’t think I’ve had a bad experience here. Greens are always grown well but weather really dictates the speed. Super good place to practice, especially pioneer because on the back 9 the cart path is paved to where it’s real easy to go to the clubhouse and back. Overall great course
Thank you for your kind review. Please let us know how we can assist in any of your golf needs. Have a great day,

Pioneer course, Kenton County Golf
I’ve played here several times this year. The staff has always been friendly. The course has always been in really good condition, tee boxes, fairways and greens.
Speed of play is usually pretty good. About 3.5-4 hrs for 18 holes on a busy day.
It’s become on of my favorite courses.
Hi Sorentino! Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you've had consistently friendly staff encounters and enjoyed our well-maintained course. We hope to continue providing you with great experiences and make us your favorite course for years to come.
Thick rough
Only complaint about the course is length of the rough…..definitely needs to be knocked down a bit as it’s difficult to find balls that roll just off the fairway… greens are slower than the Willows, but as always the course is in great shape… will certainly be back
Hi thagr81, thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your input regarding the rough length and the speed of the greens. We'll take note of your suggestions and work on making improvements. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the course overall and we look forward to having you back soon!
You better play before 3pm or the leagues will destroy your golf outing and Kenton Golfcourse doesn’t care or at least provide a voucher!
This place is overpriced and overbooked!

Great condition! Easy yet still challenging.
This was my second time playing here. 1st time was end of the season last year. Course is pretty wide open so errant shots are not automatically a list ball.
Course was in very good condition, fairways, greens as well as tee boxes. The local folks that okay here frequently must have been schooled in fixing ball marks on the greens since my usual routine of fixing my divot as well as one other didn’t need to be followed. As mentioned, greens were really good.
Pace of play seems good, we weren’t slowed down by anyone ahead, and we never were pushed by groups following.
Staff was friendly both in the pro shop as well as out side.
It is a bit of a drive for me, but this has become one of my favorite courses.
Definitely will be back.
Thank you for the feedback. We hope you enjoyed your visit and would love to have you back again. Have a great day!
Good value
My wife and I enjoyed our round. The course is a little tight in places but generally good. The front nine needs the nice new paths we found on the back nine. Having not played there it would have been helpful to have hole layouts on the posts at each hole.
Great course
Fun course has it’s easier hikes and challenging holes. Good variety only down fall is the kart path is really rough in spots. Will be back
