LEXINGTONS BEST PUBLIC COURSE

Large greens in excellent shape. Fairways starting to green up. The layout is good and the work they are doing to thin out the trees is going to help in the future. I have played most of the area public courses and this is by far the best of the bunch. A meal at Lexington BBQ makes for a great day all the way around. Well worth playing. .

Don't Bother

The Reynolds Course is overpriced. There was no price drop for recent aeration and no mention beforehand. The Championship Course had green fairways and the Reynolds Course looked like a barren wasteland. The Reynolds was placement golf with narrow dog legs and very little upkeep. We teed off just before lunch and 4 hours later we still had 5 holes left to play. We had enough and left. The drive to 10 was unmarked and about a mile from clubhouse. The only positive were the par 3s which were nice looking holes except for the punched greens and the dirt tee boxes. I've played thousands of rounds of golf and I will never go back. A 25 dollar Course at best.

Coming Around

Though still kinda rough this course has come back from ruin. Lots of money has been spent including new GPS carts. The greens for March are in decent shape but in a month they should be in better shape. The amount of work required to get this course back to playable was enormous and I think they have got off to a good start. Keep up the good work and they will come. Group Golfer would be a great way for this course to create some revenue to keep improving. A fun course to play.

WORKING MANS COURSE

First of all, this is a perfect.piece of property for a golf course. It is very short,6000 from tips, with yardgrass fairways and TINY, HARD bent grass greens. The greens are decent shape but every approach needs to come from high altitude. This is possible when all you need for par 4s is 200 yard club and a bag full of wedges. The par threes are LONG which makes no sense. I personally LOVE hole 18 which is visually appealing and a well struck drive leaves a wedge into a par five. For what it is, it is fun to play and a perfect place for a CASUAL round. Definitely affordable. High handicapper and kid friendly which I think is great. Don't expect a championship course or conditions or you will be disappointed.

First time since bermuda greens added. Great job as these greens are nice. This was a smart move that definitely improved this course. Can't really find any negatives except for the design ollf a few holes. The greens will bring me back.

Wear A Helmet

Greens in good shape. Fairways and tee boxes are good for this time of year. That being said, you start right off with a blind tee shot that thanks to a ranger, keeps you from being killed. This course has many blind shots, not just off the tee but from fairways. Club selection very hard as every green on top a hill into the wind. Placement golf on steroids. The slow pace of play comes from the difficulty and the group in front of you. I actually saw a guy in front of me hit a driver backwards! He would swing 3 times and only be 100 yards off tee. None of the 4 broke 100. For God's sake take a double or triple max and pick it up. The course conditions, price all good. The design horrible and pace of play unbearable.

Value

Great value for this course. Conditions average and the layout just okay. Placement golf on quite a few holes but wide open fairways on a lot of Holes. The value makes this course popular and pace of play slow. But overall a good experience and will probably play again. Greens just adequate.

Unique Gem

This course is on top of a mountain. The views are second to none. If you appreciate nature and love golf this is the course for you. The yardage is short but don't let that fool you. It's defense are small greens, narrow fairways, and the lies. Never a flat lie or hole that choosing an approach club is easy. I personally love it. NOT for beginners as ball striking is crucial. Out in middle of nowhere and probably unlike anywhere you have ever played. Bring plenty of balls.

Maybe

Course wonderful shape was 5 under after 9. Pulled to 10th tee and a FIVESOME was on tee box. Haven't seen these five players all day. Proceeded to watch each hit two balls apiece without a single one hitting the par three green. 25 minutes later it was finally our turn. Called the clubhouse someone came out and said they would let us through and left. Well they didn't and suddenly a twosome came up behind us. I was sitting 59 yards over a hill from previous green and got hit with a ball that flew 50 yards over previous green with no FORE to be heard. This was a direct result of poor management not correcting the 5 players dragging their feet. This is a quality course with poor management and players that play poorly making for a dangerous and long day. Too bad!

Yes and No

This course has been bought and sold a few times. The condition has come and gone many times also. This course has prime location but the course doesn't warrant the giant price tag they want to play here. If you don't book a hot deal stay away. The course is in decent condition but is worth about 35 weekend and 30 during week. The carts have a VERY ANNOYING gps to keep u from driving in certain areas for what reason i don't know. Still the same old Oliver's Landing, Ole Still but with a Rock Barn price. The way to make this course go is to charge a reasonable rate, have cheap beer specials and fix ur own cheap hotdogs with a Lance Rack for snacks. Maybe pizza ordered ahead for the turn. Cart person on weekends to sell the concessions. It would be packed. You can't polish a terd.

Short and Sweet

Short course in great shape. Large bermuda greens in great shape. Fairways and tee boxes nice. Good layout of course but again SHORT. Will definitely play again sometime but the price and the drive is the deterrent from going back, Lots of fun.
