"Just ok"

My experience was just ok. It was a crowded day and very hot, none of which was anything that the course could control. However, there were several attendants working the course that were way too eager to show what their jobs were by coming up to us at almost every hole to tell us what was ok and not ok to do at the course. Driving the cart on the course is a luxury but turns it into a burden when employees are over-zealous. Tone it down a bit and let the golfers enjoy their round. It’s not a cheap experience.

Course is in good shape but traps still need some work as they are mostly dirt and inconsistent.

Good layout and tees for all skill levels.

Fun place to play. A 50 min drive from KY but worth it. I have never been a big fan of courses that are designed through subdivisions, but the houses are far enough away to not make it a nuisance. It is a great design. Some long par 4s and short ones as well. Par 5s challenging but reachable in 2 in some cases. 6th hole maybe too short to be a par 5, but still fun. I am going to miss playing this track when I move in a month. Glad I played it one last time. Go give it a try. You will enjoy it.

This was a great course. Very beautiful scenery. It was hot the day we were there and it had rained heavy the night before so we had to stay on the cart paths. It was still fun but our wives could only make it for 9 holes. That was not a problem, they just sat in the bar and had a couple drinks.

Great layout. Wide fairways so you do not have to be exact off the tee. Fun course that you can score on, but there are places to run up your score, especially hole #4. The par threes can be a challenge.

What would have made this a perfect rating were the lack of bona fide sand in the bunkers. The material is a mixture of sand and dirt, some more dirt than sand and when the dirt dries is makes the balls stand up when it comes to rest. In places the rough is too long may be due to excessive rain the previous week.

As much as I love this course, the staff etc etc, it pains me to see the course becoming tough round the edges. Bunkers are a disgrace. Holding water, when there is no water there's no sand and when there is sand it seems to be cheap and full of stones. Greens have taken an age to come around this year, maybe due to early aeration. It's still a great course just hope this isn't a steady money saving decline.
