Course was in great shape.

This course was in top shape. I have played here many times before, and was shocked by how well it played. Everything was up to par with all other features, and the only negative was a slow pace for the first four holes. The group creating the delayed allowed us to play through on number five. After that, it was clean sailing. The course ranger was friendly and polite, and a joy to talk with on the course. We saw him about 10 times during the round. He was clearly on top of things. A great day of golf.

Wonderful course with terrific staff

This was the second time I played this course. The course is long with fast greens. The back nine is a little gimmicky, but still quite fun. The staff and restaurant crew make up for anything that isn't country club status. I drive almost 2 hrs every time we play here. I wish it was in my backyard.

Challenging course needs work

This course was one of the best in Kentucky a few years ago. Today the course condition was less than perfect. Heat had a small part in the conditions, but fairways need work, and some attention. The greens are down from past rounds. Hopefully, it will come back to its past glory.

Not what it used to be

When I first played this course two years ago, it was the hidden gem of Florida. The course I played this time is not even in the first 100 courses. The fairways were terrible, and many greens were in need of work. The traps had not been touch in a long time. A very dissapointing day on a course I looked forward to playing.

Nice little course

The course was a winding layout with lots of water. It was challenging with moderate distances. The greens were ok, but could use a little work. As with most Florida courses the fairways leave a lot to be desired. Staff was friendly, and curteous. There was a snackbar on site, and pace of play was acceptable.

A real gem

This is a course with many challenging holes like 2 550 yd part 5s, and multiple 200 yd part 3 holes. The layout is easy to follow, and there are several holes that feature water hazards. The greens were medium to fast in speed and plenty of contours. My party contained lady golfers that found the forward tees to be placed in excellent areas for competitive rounds. The friendly staff, and a great sports bar with excellent food make it a real gem. All local patrons were overly friendly, and very accommodating to out of towners. Check it out.

beautiful views in bluegrass

The course has been changed, since my last visit to the region. Interesting holes on new portion with some beautiful views of the river on the back. Greens were a little rough, but it is March. This course is worth your time, and I think you will be pleased with the round.

nice layout with interesting greens

The course is a somewhat flat layout winding through a series of homes. There is water on most holes, and and a wide variety of green slopes. The only issues were the length of grass in the fairways, which were somewhat wet. Well worth giving it another try in the spring.

Fabulous golf club

This course is one of the finest I have played, and my wife and I have played in 31 states so far. The course is challenging, while being fair and the scenery is to die for. The staff made us feel welcome, but the truly special part was the way the local members treated us. We left this course feeling that our next trip will be back to this hidden gem. The signature hole is a simple little 88 yard par 3 with water on three sides and three sand traps added for good measure. You will love it.

Best of Indiana

Beautiful course with outstanding scenery. Course has multiple tees for every level of play, and can be extremely difficult from the tips. Highly recommend the course, but do not believe the 4.5 hr to play comments from staff. The first nine took 1:50 minutes complete, and then we found our group sitting at the tenth tee for a long while. It appears that locals come to number 10 whenever they feel like it. There were five groups sitting there when we made the turn, and only one had been in front of us. The others came from the dining area. Total round took 5:05 hrs. No rangers, no staff on course at all. Be aware.

Nice little course in the country

The facility was in good shape. Nicely maintained, and somewhat challenging. The course is 5600 yds, but plays longer than listed. It has several dogleg Par4's that can been driven through the fairways with ease. The first time around, these will create issues for the golfer. The par is 70, and the only par 5's are back to back at #6 (475) & 7 (550). My wife and I really enjoyed the play. The staff (family owned) were extremely nice, and made every effort to ensure that we enjoyed our round. Local clientel were also very nice to the visitors. :)

Nice course with lots of scenery

The course is a well maintained, visually impressive course. Very challenging layout with plenty of twists and turns. The staff was ok, but not very outgoing, except for one young man. He tried his best to correct a very bad situation with an eightsome in front of us. They were playing a personal scramble, and moved as two foursome from the tee, but not anywhere else. This create long delays for us. We played the first 3 holes before we encountered them, and then followed on 4-6, before returning to no. 4 to tried and put space between us. We played 4-9, and ran up on them again. The young man I mentioned tried to get them to move, or step aside with little success. Finally, after the 11th hole they stepped aside, and we skipped that hole. Once clear, our group completed the remaining holes in 1 1/2 hours. After driving four hours to play this course, I was a little more than frustrated. That is why I waited until the 1st of September to write my review. We also encountered issues with a grounds crew member that decided to mow the par 3 while we were teeing off over his head. If you plan on visiting this course, I suggest that you plan on six hours for the round.

Great course with super nice staff.

The course was in great shape. Greens were smooth, fairways nicely cut, and play moved at a comfortable pace. Staff was as friendly as ever, and worked with us to get us on the course as scheduled. Wednesday morning is a scramble event, and they were pushing our 12:00 tee time. Staff made everything work. Joined up with some locals, and their course knowledge and friendliness made the day a treat. Well worth the trip to this facility.

Well worth the trip to southeast Indiana

Nice course with challenging layout. Beautiful fairways, nice greens and pleasant scenery. Only downside is the sand traps are like rocks. Need a little more work than just dragging them. Not sure the last time they were actually raked, or turned over. That issue is not a reason to not play. Well worth the visit. The staff is always friendly, and accommodating.

Nice course, but

We love the course, and have played it many times before over the years. The course is limited on water resources, so summer time can be challenging for them. Overall, they do a great job with the course.

The BUT is due to the clientele. We followed a group of 10 or so, that were more about drinking than playing golf. They caused the slow play, were extremely loud and quite frustrating to the five groups backed up behind them. We have experienced this on other visits, so be aware of this type of problem.

The rangers/starters attempted to help out, but were just as frustrated as us. I believe you will have a great time at the course, and recommend you give them a chance.

Beautiful, but

The course is one of the finest in the region. It has everything you could want, but the conditions are currently less than expected. The course went through a tough winter, and fairway recovery is about 3 weeks from being complete. The fairways were mowed for the first time last week. The greens are amazing, rough difficult and the scenery is fantastic. I plan on returning in a month or so, and they are 100 miles from my home. It is still worth the trip. Check this place out, and be amazed.

Nice quiet course

This course plays around 6100 yds. It has a nice variety of greens. Some smaller than normal, and other rather larges one. they all have a significant amount of contour. All the greens have a good pace, and were in excellant shape. The fairways were a little long, but the heat was probably responsible for that fact. They were mowing during our round. Nice place, check it out. The staff are extremely friendly.

Quaint little gem

Nice 9 hole course with speedy greens, and nice fairways. The 6 & 9 holes cross each other, which is a little different, but lots of fun. Elevation changes on nos. 6,7 & 9th holes. Bunkers were in great shape, so used the opportunity to play some practice shots also.

Course was outstanding

The course has recovered from the flood a year and a half ago. The fairways, greens and bunkers were in excellent shape. I was amazed at the turn around. I definitely recommend this course to the Golf-now family.
