Ryan

Nice course greens were in great shape. The holes could've been cut because all the holes had water in them.

Not the Best Experience

The greens were recently aerated and wasn’t told or given a discount. Holes everywhere on the greens and they were extremely mushy. The fairways were very poor. There were a group of six playing at an extremely slow pace so on the back nine there were group of six, a group of two, my group of two, and a group of four behind us on the same hole every hole. Someone called the clubhouse and nothing was done. This is only my second time playing here but it was a complete opposite of the experience I had the first time.

Good value

Good course, greens in great shape, you pay for it if you don't hit the green. Take advantage of the early holes, it gets tougher.

First Impression

This was my first time playing this course and I was pleased. Overall the course was pretty well maintained, and I thought the majority of greens were in great shape. The course was easy to navigate from beginning to end. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Pace or Play Struggles

There was somehow a group of 5 players in front of us… backed up 4 other groups… waited for several minutes in the mid day sun to start every hole… not enjoyable

Otherwise a good value city course with a friendly and helpful pro shop.

Always can play for a great price here

It’s a city course so it’s not top notch but the hole layouts are different and you can still have fun on the course. Need to cut a few trees or the overhanging branches around the fairways and greens. Always have a great selection of hats in the pro shop

The pace of play was good!

And that is about all I can say about this course. It was in terrible shape. I am not sure where the fairway even was on half of the holes. The tee boxes seem to be randomly placed on certain holes, just in a clump of grass. The greens were in decent shape and saved this course from only getting one star. The best hole on the course is the Par 3 #17. It is a nice hole over a pond. Staff was okay, nothing to write home about, but the facilities seemed run down and neglected. Probably won't play here again, much better courses in the Lexington area.

Greens Aerated

The greens had been aerated that week and not enough sand was placed on greens so holes everywhere. Was not told nor given discount. Additionally fairways are not being watered and are patchy. Playing here for decades the worse shape I have ever seen the course in

First Impression

This was my first time playing Tate’s Creek and I didn’t know what to expect. The staff were friendly and made things easy. The entire course was well maintained, and was easy to navigate the entire round. The greens were fast and smooth. I will definitely be coming back.

Don’t waste your money

Management is terrible. I was 10 minutes early to my tee time and the guy working the check in counter was all upset because I “was running late”. Course isn’t upkept. Cart paths need repair. Cart seats have bigggg rips in all the seats. Best thing about the track is when I left. I’ll never go back.
