Early Season Preview

Played it in late March while things were still dormant but the greens were already growing enough to be mowed and rolled.
Fairways: Dormant but consistent. A rain on Friday left a few wet areas on Sunday so played preferred lies. Only a few times required a lift/clean, so pretty good. When the growing season begins, if they keep this place mowed, I imagine they could keep these fairways very nice.
Greens: There are some serious slopes on these greens that you'll need a practice round to understand. Don't expect to shoot your handicap out here your first time. My first time=40 putts. Ugh. Try to know where the pin is on your approach. Super important.
Tees: Level and consistent.
Layout: Challenging and interesting. The first few holes are a nice introduction...and then comes the test.
Rough/Other: There were some overgrown areas a bit too close to the fairway for my taste on a few holes, but that's golf. And I got a bit out of sorts on the back 9 anyway, so I'm probably biased a bit.
The course was so interesting and so challenging, I'm eager to give it another try a little later in the season.

Real Nice Course

Played 5 rounds in 3 days. The whole course was in super condition - especially the greens. Friendly and helpful staff. Pace was good, but we were usually the first group off in the morning. Hope to return soon.

Quality and Value

A friend and I played 5 rounds in 3 days. Challenging course and if you're going to score decent, keeping it in play is crucial. Greens an A-. Fairways, tees, etc. an A. We stayed at a cottage on the course and Jennifer was friendly and helpful. Well worth the time and money.

Course was in good shape. The green speeds were not consistent, both hole to hole and within the same green.

Good layout decent conditions

Have been wanting to make the trip from Memphis for a while. Finally did and was slightly disappointed. The course layout is good but could def tell it needs some TLC. The bunkers were horrible and looked like they haven’t been touched in years. Took our 4some 4:30 to play mainly because of lost balls.(only saw 1 other group or golfers. Will be back but a little pricey for $50 lLooks like the pictures on website are several years old.

Quality & value

Friend & I played 36 holes. Third year we've played there with a "play & stay" package (Jennifer was easy to deal with and very helpful). Aerified the greens approx. two weeks before, so they were a tad bumpy, but still good. In another week or so, they should be very good, I expect. Fairways & tees were real good and you need to hit it relatively straight, because there's usually trouble on both sides of the fairway(from the white tees, slope rating is 138). Lord willing, we'll be back ASAP.

Great Course

Whether coming from Memphis or Oxford, or just passing through, stopping by Kirkwood is worth it. It's a very challenging course, but it's in terrific shape and not overpriced. Just make sure you play with someone who has played before. My first time playing, I played by myself and where to place your shot is not always 100% clear.

Quality & challenging golf.

A friend & I stayed at their "Stay & Play" package from 10-30-15 through 11-1-15. Jennifer made things simple to play and the cottage was very nice. Greens were super and if you can't keep the ball in play, it'll be a long day. Challenging, but fair. I walked with my bag on the cart because it's a very good workout if you carry your bag or a push-cart. Hope to get back once or twice in 2016.
