Connemara consistently provides one of the greatest values in the Lexington area. The course is always in great shape, the staff is always friendly and attentive, and the prices are always fair. Today, made the turn in great time as usual and hit up the food service. I typically just get a couple of drinks and I’m on my way. However, today I wanted a sandwich and I ordered the chicken salad. The guy working was alone and goes in the back and after a few minutes, he comes out with this sandwich that looked like it could be served at some upscale country club. It was very well priced and the sandwich was ridiculously delicious. I must say I leave Connemara more impressed each time I visit. Well done y’all

South Wind won’t make your top ten for fairway or greens conditions but what it lacks in perfect fairways and greens is made up by their amazing staff. From the time I arrived, I was greeted with friendly smiles, course advice, and was even given a free water when I attempted to pay for one. While the fairways could have used a cut, the greens did roll very good. Just some rough spots here and there on the greens but nothing out of the ordinary. With the rolling hills, your ball will travel further than expected. And some holes would do you some good to ride up and look at landing areas and greens before hitting your shots if it’s your first time playing. After my round, I had a fantastic beer cheese burger at Howard’s grill. Owner/operator was really down to earth and it felt like a scene in Cheers as regulars started pouring into the grill. I most definitely look forward to coming back to South Wind and I highly recommend giving them a chance for your next round.

Weather was fantastic which always means a great day for golf. The course was in good shape with the exception of the tee boxes. Just needed a good trimming. The greens had been aerated recently but have come back in very nicely. The greens rolled really true. I consider this course somewhat of a hidden gem in the Lexington area.

This was my first time playing and it's unfortunate I played in 30 degree weather after everything was already frozen. The layout of this course is really great. I look forward to playing this course in the spring and summer. I've never played a Kentucky course in the winter. I am from SC so you can play pretty much all year with about the same conditions on the course throughout the year there. Here in Kentucky, the green was like concrete due to our freezing temperatures. The ball bounced as high as the cart path when it directly hit the green. It was very amusing. But to be January, and with the temperatures and weather we've had, 1. I was shocked and glad at the same time that the course was open to play and 2. I was very impressed with the course conditions considering. If you've never played Gibson Bay, I would highly recommend playing. Especially in the spring and summer. I look forward to coming back and playing again soon.

Driving up to a huge black barn as the clubhouse was strange but ok, let's give it a chance. It was 38 degrees and besides the employees car, I was the only vehicle. Needless to say, pace of play wasn't phenomenal. The fairways were brown but the grass was still playable. But the greens were fantastic. I couldn't believe how lush and green they were. They played a little slow with slightly longer grass than normal and some water on the greens. But the nice thing was that they all played true from the first to the last. The course was a little short even from the tips. All in all, I really enjoyed the course and will definitely look forward to playing it again.

Not sure what's happened, but there was a ton of damage on fairways and the greens had many rough patches also. One of the gentlemen working in the pro shop didn't seem like he even wanted to assist us with our drink purchases. Not very friendly. The course has been better but I would still play it again. We got a great deal on golf now

Mowers should move for golfers, not the other way around. Otherwise a fantastic experience. The course was in good shape and considering we started before 8, pace of play was never an issue. In fact, I've never had an issue with pace of play. If your looking for a round of golf at a great value, I highly recommend Connemara.
