First time, won't be my last...

Played while in to see some family, and saw that it was sunny and warm, so wanted to play something I had never played before... given that it was Febuary and the fairways were brown (as they should be) the course was in really nice shape. Greens were a tad slow, but again it's February... Guy in the clubhouse was friendly, hit some range balls before going out, nice big range that would be great to get some work in on. I surprised myself with how well I played, but that is given that from the 2 tees (tried the tips the first 4 holes and that was a bit much this early in the year) the course is pretty easy, very open layout, but the back 9 has some scenic par 3s and a couple of the par 4s from the back tees would have been a lot to handle... I didn't eat in the clubhouse, but walked by some people eating and it looked very good... il be back in the summer to give it another whirl. I applied for a job here too, so hopefully I get to see it more and more.

Long time coming, worth the wait..

Golf course was a lot of fun. The first 7 holes are pretty straight forward, 3 is a pretty par 3, other than that it is straight cut. 8 is a hole very simular to 3, just plays uphill instead of down, probably the hardest hole on the golf course. 9 is a beautiful hole, great look up the fairway to the clubhouse with the water on your left. The back 9 tighens up a bit, but nothing crazy. 18 is a mirror image of 9, they even share a green.

The guys in the clubhouse was very friendly, the food was good for a $3 burger, and a few good drink choices.

Be a last resort... But better than nothing

Played this course about 20 times over the past 5 years. Its a course worth about $15, they charge $21. The girl behind the counter said about 2 words, neither of which were thank you. The course was weird, burnt up in some places and then soaked in others, they really need to check out the sprinker systems.

On the course I heard a guy on the green yell at a 2some from 2 holes over to tell them to get on the cart path. Not only was it not cart path only, he yelled in the middle of my partners swing.

Overall its an alright place to go, but if you can go to Diamond Links or Grayson, Id suggest going there. Only reason I would go here over Austin Hills would be to hit driver a few more times.

Nice change of pace from the normal in KY

Golf course is kept in pretty good shape. Greens are firm, recept a solidly struck shot, but will not hold a mishit. Greens roll fast, and are tricky.

You can tell they're working

Played this course 3 or 4 times a year for the past 3 years. It's been better than it is now, but it's also been a lot worse... you can tell the guys are out and about putting a lot of effort into the place... I love a couple of the holes, 6 is a great hole.. but really they need to put some new style to it.. I know that getting water flowing to the waterfall like thing between 7 and 8 is a lot to ask for, but if you could and then open it up so that it was the backdrop for the green in 7, it would be one of the best holes in the state, frankly that was a huge mistake by the architect to not do in the first place... and second of all, I'd change the way 18 plays... I hate having to hit an iron off the tee with no chance of cutting off the corner.. it's like a 350 carry, and 240 to the water from the tips, just makes it a no reward hole... just me thinking out loud... course still has a way to go... couple more years even, but at least they are putting forth an effort.

Just straght up awesome

Played this course with my brother in law, we got the hot deal for 40 and it was worth every penny... range balls set up, free water at the start, great fairways and tee boxes.. mix of holes that appeal to every level of golfer, short and long par 3s... just awesome... 18 is a top 3 closing hole I've ever played... if you're deciding between somewhere else and here, unless the somewhere else is augusta or pebble beach . You need to go here

wish I got to finish

This place was amazing... my wife got me a round here as a honeymoon present, and it was worth the time. The grass was perfectly cut, despite the rain tee shots ran out just like a dry day, and the Bermuda rough made tough shots insanely difficult.

great starter course

I grew up playing here and play it every once in a While. They used to run a after 5 pm deal for $15 and that was awesome. ... as far as the course goes, it's basically a par 3 course with 3 longer holes. Grass is well maintained, greens roll slow but true enough, great course to take the beginner too

one of the best in ky. I wish they would open it up all year

This course is amazing.. it was in recovery mode for this round, but it's still better than the average course. I played it in high school and college, and would love to see it open up for good, at least select tee times. The bunkers were the best I've seen this year other than caledonia in myrtle Beach.

nice

Getting there was the hardest part, in the back of nice sub division, even my gps got confused about where to turn, called the course and the girl got me where I needed to be. She then gave me an overview of the course since it was my first trip there. Course was in good shape, greens were smooth, fairways Excellant, water was clean, and the barn was a great touch.

been a long time coming

I have waited for years to play here, a canceled tourney in hs, a couple rain outs, and everything else has kept me off this course. It was worth the wait. Very nice course, not prestine, but for October, it was decent. The course set up is a mixture of birdie holes and bogey holes. A single digit handicap could post a good number if they knew what they were doing. My biggest complaint was the people on the course, I was playing alone, and quickly, and got caught behind a 4some where they were taking it very seriously. Which is fine and dandy, but it took them over 30 minutes to play 2 holes. So i finally just had to go around them. Some rangers or some manners would do well here, but otherwise I would highly suggest

fun track

First off let me say that this round was 4 years in the making, had 3 tee times here before but mother nature never allowed me to get it in. The course obviously has the ability to be top notch, but it wasn't to that standard at this point, the fairways were decent, rough was spotty, bunkers were chunky, but the greens were fast and smooth, the water was gross looking. ... my biggest issue on this round was the fact that I was in the middle of a scramble and they didn't warn me. .. the course was fun, challenging, and better than anything I have played this year other than old silo...

great course, bad people

As much as I want too, I won't go into detail on what happened between the staff and I while at the golf course, just know that I understand the woman behind the counter has a job to do and protocol to follow, and that we had an issue getting out conformation due to the lack of service at the golf course, my issue is with how she treated us and that when she called her boss, she told her boss just exactly what she thought of us despite the fact we were only a few feet from her, she was rude from the get-go, She would have rather argued with us as opposed to help us... I'm not sure how someone with the complete lack of people skills that she has gets a job dealing with the public, but something needs to be done with her, again it's not what she did that bothers me, it's how she treated us... golf course was in great shape, couple little spots around the greens but nothing major... once they let you on you will really enjoy it

Short, open, slow, great learing course as the par 3s are not wedges, and the par 5s are straight... Greens are too slow, easy golf course, shot 67...

Top 5 I've ever been too

This place is really great... I walked in and the clubhouse won't blow you away but it's nice, the guy behind the counter made conversation and was really nice, I went and hit a few balls on the range and a member was there hitting, and he, along with the other members I talked to, take great pride in the golf course. For great reason... It is awesome... I played the tips, as usual, and it's really long... The greens are challenging because most of them are what I call upside down.... They all run off kind of like they are sitting on an upside down bowl, so you can hit the green and sti have a chip. Greens are slower than I expected, but it is that time of the year.... Get out to this place you won't regret it

Nice course, bad management

First off I want to note that I'm not furious about my experiance there, however it was kind of a bad deal... The golf course it's self is decent, greens are smooth, fairways are cut ( a little too high but still not awful) and the bunkers were as nice as I have seen... However when I got there I noticed right away the place was packed... I went in to tell them I was there and the man behind the register was short, rude, and pushy... I had never been there, and asked if it mattered what course I started on, he laughed at me mockingly and said yes il tell you if you will give me a minute. He then told me what courses I was playing with no inquiry of what I preferred, and put me with 3 other guys without asking my ability compared to theirs... I had no problem with the guys, and had no problem that I had to play with them, however I played the "tips" and they played 3 tees up, and I played poorly, and still beat all three of them by 35 plus shots.... I would suggest getting a new system (asking handicaps) and asking if they have a preference of the courses... I will not be rushing back to this place soon for that reason... The only decent employee they had was the woman doing the "kitchen"...

Not bad... Could be better

This course has a great set up... The greens are beat to death, the fairways are spotty, and the water looks like trash... Looks like a lot of projects are started then stopped and never completed... Not sure if the money's just not there or what... But it's a fun track, it's got a lot of potential to be the best in the area
