Can’t beat it

Course is in great shape and hard to complain with a price like such for 18. Would recommend this to anyone.

Golf course is definitely worth playing. Greens were a little beat up but overall solid golf course. I would join here as a member but I’m not as close to it as I’d prefer but solid golf course. Solid fairways and great tee boxes.

Successful Renovation

I had completed my round and went into the pro shop, I told him that it was my first time playing the course and I really enjoyed my round. I had expectations about it being late fall and the reviews I had already seen about the conditions, but playing it really dispelled any of those critical comments. All but a couple of the greens were in great shape and the ball rolled true. The course layout was particularly satisfying. Since it was my first time, I enjoyed studying the course and each hole. Every hole was unique and made you think about your shots and club selection. I did enjoy the appropriate amount of water, where the ponds and creeks are very nicely laid out, this is the best aesthetic about the course. When I said that I really enjoyed my round, the pro said to me that they had only been open a year. I was shocked, and was even more impressed that they had been able to rehab the course and get it in the condition it was. I'll definitely be back.

Good course

The course plays easy for average players like myself. Just play from the whites and you have a decent chance or scoring well.
You better know how to hit punch shots out of the trees because you will be there at some point. The greens were decent but several need more work.
Overall it’s a good course.

One of the best values in Central Kentucky

Despite the incredibly hot and dry weather the course is in excellent shape. They do a great job with the course and is always a lot of fun. Highly recommend this course.

Not worth the money!!!

First of all, the staff here were some of the best in the Lexington area. They were very friendly, unlike other courses around. The layout was very enjoyable. However the praises must stop there...

Excellent staff, and a very enjoyable layout mean nothing if the greens are horrible. Actually, horrible is too nice a term. They were the worst I have ever played....ever! It’s sad when you can’t make a 3 foot put because of bald patches knocking the ball off line. Some greens had probably up to 40% of un-useable space. It was quite sad, because I really wanted to like the course. But how can you like a course when you would of had better luck putting in the parking lot?

This course is not worth the greens fee, even with the hot deals of $20.

Greens punched not sanded , terrible shape all around now

Played here a month ago and it seemed to be getting better. Now they have lost half the greens, no fringe on greens to speak of, putting surface( I use that word loosely) straight to rough. Fairways like cart paths. On the plus side you’ll get a tremendous amount of roll.

Greens were punched and were not playable, no notice before round. Fairways need to be punched as they are so hard you can’t take a divot in most spots. No water on course and it was a 90 degree day. That’s borderline criminal.

I might try again next year but I’m done trying this year. Real shame they can’t get course in decent shape.
