Legendary Run Golf Club
Played On 05/09/2023Nice course in decent shape.
Greens actually roll out pretty well but I like them firm and quick. Feels like "real golf" and not putting on shaggy carpet! Fairways freshly mowed and rough is under control especially considering how early in the season we are. Staff was friendly as always. Overall a decent course for the money. Will definitely play again.
Hickory Sticks Golf Club
Played On 08/28/2022Still a great place to play a casual round
Clean facilities and friendly staff make this a nice course for a change of pace. Sundays are always slow no matter where I play and this was the same. Course was in decent condition and greens were running pretty true at a reasonably fast speed. It's definitely time to do some work on the cart paths...please! Staff was helpful and friendly as always. Definitely worth playing.
Thanks!

Played On 11/08/2021Great in the Fall
For the time of year, the course was in overall great condition. Greens had obviously been aerated at some recent time and sanded but not fully grown back in, so puts didn't roll out as true. That is a normal expectation this time of year and didn't hinder the beauty of the course at all. She always plays long (as compared with other local venues) but provides lots of challenging holes with high risk/reward scenarios. Staff are always friendly and my only complaint is that there was nobody at the bag drop on arrival--I guess COVID times and all makes staffing more difficult.
Hole 18 is a stunner and a great way to finish a nice round. Our cart service was provided by a lovely young lady with great customer service. Just next time, please put Yuengling Lager on the cart! LOL
Will definitely play again but will take time at the tables for some cards for sure.

Played On 06/24/2021Nice course
Wide fairways invite big swings. The rough is cut but challenging. Greens are on the smaller side which is okay but they were slooooooowww. On the good side, the greens were rolling true and in very nice shape. Fairways were all in great shape like 9/10 and lush but well groomed. I'm assuming that the bunkers were supposed get sand at some point but never had a problem. Staff was all pleasant and friendly BUT there was no cart service on the course AND no water coolers on the course. I would play again at the bargain price of $50. Also, there is NO practice facilities so go hit balls at a range before getting to the course.

The public golf courses at Kenton County continue to go downhill. The fairways are patchy. The greens are worse. If you mistakenly miss the fairways with your drive, prepare to say goodbye to your ball because you'll likely never find it. The "Old man's club" that seems to be promoted out here is actually hurting the course. Way more unrepaired ball Mark's than repaired. Top that off with a refreshing $2.50 diet coke and... (way overpriced). It seems to be all the public courses around here. Boone county courses are not much better. Best decent golf in the area is Belterra or North to Cincinnati.

Played On 05/17/2018Will play again!
For a reasonably short course, it's pretty challenging. Greens rolled out pure at a quick pace but not unreasonable. Fairways were lush and rough was nicely cut and not too punishing. Grounds under repair areas were few and well marked. Staff was friendly and true to the Southern charm you would expect. Definitely recommend and will play this course again!
The Legends at Orange Lake Resort
Played On 05/19/2016terrible conditions and a zoo
Oh my goodness! Signage to course is terrible so allow extra 45 minutes to find it. Random people walking up cart path to first tee like it's a park. No ranger in sight all morning. Multiple people fishing around ponds that protect greens oblivious to golfers approaching (seriously? ) All of this capped off by 5 workers repairing about 25% of the 18th green who absolutely would not get off the green for 165 yard approach shot. Oh yeah, $37 for 6 domestic beers. Biggest disappointment I've had in years. Don't bother with this one. Played Mystic Dunes on Tuesday and was a very good value. Spend your golf time there instead for a much better value. Good golfing!
Beckett Ridge Country Club
Played On 07/30/2014Tired Queen
I'm sure this was a beautiful country club at one time but now she's just a tired old queen. Everything is in disrepair or broken. Tee boxes probably should be changed more than monthly and greens look moth-eaten. Do Ohio golfers even know how to fix a divot? It's a shame to see what was obviously a small piece of paradise fall into this sad state. Had to start off 10th, which annoys me every time. We were stacked up 4 groups deep on the 1st (10th) tee to start even though we had a tee time. People were apparently just showing up to play and the guy in the golf shop was just sending them off. No starter and certainly no rangers on the course so carts were everywhere imaginable. Too many other fun courses in the area to play for the same money that are a way better value.

Played On 07/21/2014Better than I remembered
First time playing The Willows in several years and it is in much better shape than the last time I played here. From tee to green the course was in very good shape. The greens were fairly quick but didn't bother play because they rolled out beautifully. Tee boxes staggered nicely giving us older (shorter) hitters a fighting chance. Would have been a perfect round if the threesome in front of me would have allowed me to play through but they kept a fair pace so I can't complain (too much). Would really like to see a ranger on the course to facilitate pace of play a bit more. Staff was very friendly. Grounds crew actually acknowledged me several times and vacated to allow me to make my shots (very rare these days). All in all very nice day. I'll be back.

Played On 07/15/2014challenging greens
Fun and challenging course. True links play virtually transports you to the shores of Scotland. Elevated and undulating greens suckered me every time to go for it. From tee to green, the course looked a bit beat down. Unrepaired divot marks everywhere (lots of old ones not tended to). Equipment, building and carts seem worn (cart seats ripped, etc). All in all a fun course but for the money I'd expect everything to shine a bit more.

Played On 07/03/2014beautiful views
The staff friendliness was equivalent to Hickory Sticks (the friendliest course in Northern Kentucky). Course condition overall was excellent. Greens were a bit to slow although it was fun to have them hold everything I through at them. The course really treats you to some breathtaking views of the holes from the tee boxes. Excellent value for the money and I'll definitely be back.
Belterra Casino Golf Club
Played On 05/20/2014Awesome course. Friendly staff.
Course is in great shape as always. Greens roll out perfectly. Staff member Chris is a super friendly guy and a great host. I love playing here and will be back often. Super value! Also, course is VERY friendly to physically handicapped golfers. Thanks again Chris.

Best condition course I've played in two years. Handicapped friendly and course ranger and clubhouse staff very helpful. Best value course in Northern Kentucky, hands down.
