good layout, well maintained.

I always enjoy playing this course. It is well maintained and has some challenging holes. It is fairly open with a limited number of trees. Errant shots may find the heather. All in all, a good test of golf.

Great Links Course..

Great Links Course and in excellent condition, even after recent rains. The greens were true and fast, just right. If you haven't played here, make a tee time. If you have, you know what I mean.

Great Public Course

One of the best public courses in the Louisville area. Great condition, rough must have finally been mowed as only a couple of holes were I should have wedged out. It's in a dry county so no beer sales!

Tight fairways. Primary rough difficult to find ball. Secondary rough impossible to find ball. Greens in excellent condition. Course challenging.

Slow play on the day I played due to a tee time behind a best ball foursome who were definitely enjoying their golf and beer. This was my first time playing Nevel Meade and I am already looking forward to my next opportunity. Tight fairways and difficult rough make this course a challenge. You need to be straight off the tee or you will be looking for your ball frequently. Balls settle in primary rough making them difficult to find. Not sure if this is the personality of the course or if due to a lot of rain the course needing mowing. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Course provides lots of challenge and I'm looking forward to trying it again hopefully not behnd a best ball foursome.

Nevel Meade is a links style course in perfect condition.

I have played Nevel Meade a few times in the past but I have never seen it in such great condition as yesterday. From fairway to greens the course is well taken care of and a great golfing experience. The carts come with a simple GPS system that gives yardage front-middle-back. The open links design will allow for a few wayward shots but be careful to stay out of the real thick grass because you won"t be able to find your ball. Greens were all smooth and great to putt on. Overall a great day of golf!

Great shape

Course is in really good shape. Fairway allow the ball to roll and green allowed you hole putts. This course is challenging as the rough is thick and the many bunkers you can find went your shot isn't perfect.

Need to Play Nevel Meade More Often

I just don't understand why I don't play this course more often. If I lived closer I would be a memebr here. Love pretty much everything about the course. Pace of play is always good and the course is always in great condition. The kind of course that you may use every club in your bag during your round. The best public access golf course in the Louisville area, I highly recommend Nevl Meade.

Great value. Always in very good condition. Wind can make it quite difficult but enjoyable.

Greens were nice and fast. Smooth for this early (mid-April) in the season. The only hole that is less than satisfactory is the 16th. Could use a re-design. Excellent value for the $$. A+

This course is one of my favorites.

The greens were in good shape for Spring. The fairway has greened up, unlike many of the surrounding courses.

links style golf!

Beautiful course. Soft supple fairways. A divot takers dream come true! Smooth rolling yet challenging greens. I have always loved Nevel Meade. It blends a Scottish links feel with rolling Kentucky hills. Nary a tree in sight, but watch out for that rough! The intermediate rough is easily manageable, but the deep stuff, ugh the deep stuff! The greens aren't near as large as links style golf would imply, but overall a great golfing experience.

GREAT SHAPE

This course was in absolute perfect shape for the middle of April. $30 dollars with cart for the best public course in the Louisville area is hard to beat. Challenging course with a few tee shots that can be misleading. Great links style course with in cart GPS. Friendly staff.

Good Links Golf

This is not a particularly scenic course. However, this is the most authentic representation of Scottish links golf I have played in Kentucky. Most greens are open in front, allowing for a variety of run-up shots. There are many hillocks and swales around the greens which can be used to the player's advantage in directing shots toward the hole. A good course to experience, but not one I would want to play every week.

Excellent links style layout.

Nevelle Meade is maintained in good condition year round. Several holes are deceivingly challenging. I hope that someday, formidable water hazards are added, possibly in the low area between #9, #18, and #2.
