The Willow at Golf Courses at Kenton County, The
Played On 06/17/2021best condition in 20 years
Played on Thursday (6/17/21) at 1:20pm
Entire course was in excellent condition!
Greens were firm and fast
Bunkers were full of sand and well groomed
Fairways, rough, and tee boxes were in great shape
The ONLY recommendation is to have a beverage cart. On the LONG back nine of Willows, we were thirsty
Belterra Casino Golf Club
Played On 06/14/2018Best course in the area
All grass surfaces were perfect...even the rough! Only spot for slight improvement would be bunker maintenance (shots in the bottom of burnkers are tought to 'splash'...due to lack of loose sand). Greens were rolling great! Playing from the blue tees, with 3pm+ start time, there is a lot of shade available around the tee boxes. We drive about 35 miles to play Belterra, but it is ALWAYS worth the drive.
Devou Park Golf &Tennis
Played On 09/06/2017Pleasantly Surprised !!
I had not played Devou since 2005, and I remembered it being unfair (hard bounces & lost balls). There is still opportunity to lose balls, but no longer due to hard terrain and sparse rough. The entire experience was fantastic !! Fairways, greens, & rough were all green, thick, & mown nicely ! The cart paths are new and smooth, but this IS a course to be extremely careful with the cart...as there are some steep slopes in the rough. Course is very difficult if you play many shots from the rough. I'll definitely bring folks back to Devou, this fall and in years to come !!
A. J. Jolly Golf Course
Played On 08/16/2017Excellent condition !
I played 18 holes with 2 players in just over 3 hours on August 9th, and I played 18 holes with 4 players in just under 5 hours on August 16th. The round on August 16th included my 81 year old grandfather...so we had players hitting from 3 separate tee boxes (NOT slow due to other groups).
The course is in excellent condition ! The greens were rolling fast and very smooth on both rounds. The course is a fun and challenging layout. In my opinion, 1pm EST on Monday - Thursday is the best time to play this course.
Walden Ponds Golf Club
Played On 09/26/2016Very enjoyable round!!
We started at 12:45...following 2 hours of rain. They allowed carts off the paths, which was key. Finished in less than 4 hours. The fairways and greens were smooth and full (didn't see any burnt areas). Course is spread out through a nice neighborhood. Bunkers were wet, but they were in great condition. I drove 53 miles (one way) to play Walden Ponds, and I will do it again this year!
A. J. Jolly Golf Course
Played On 07/21/2016Quick afternoon round
2 players finished (18) holes in 3 hours, without any rushing. Hot but occasional nice breeze. Greens, fairways & tee boxes in excellent condition! Will play 2-3 more times this year! Tee off around 1pm to miss morning crew and afternoon league play.
Pendleton Hills Golf Course
Played On 07/05/2016Will Play Again!!
Played from back tees, which was tough with no roll due to recent rain. Was happy to have carts off path, as it was super humid. 10 year old son and I played in 3.5 hours. Fairways and greens are top quality! Tricky gold tee position on # 9. #14 is reachable with a high blast...I hope to hit one next time I play it.

Played On 04/10/2016Still a tough test
I've played the Willows 15-20 times, and the back nine has perplexed me (at my lunch) most of those outings. The course is in good shape (except, bunkers are packed & difficult), and they allowed carts off the paths. This course is a bargain for <$30!
Belterra Casino Golf Club
Played On 03/30/2016Well worth the 30 mile drive!!
I looked forward to playing this course for a full week, and I was very impressed with the entire experience. The driving range and practice green(s) are outstanding. The greens roll great, and the fairways are like hitting off plush carpet. Will definitely be playing a few more times in 2016!!
