We just came off a long weekend golf trip there at Dale Hollow golf course. The fairways are excellent, the greens are above average, the bunkers are bad!!! Overall had a great weekend off golf, but we took advantage of golfnow rates which made the price average for course conditions. The course is worth the drive, just stay out of the bunkers.

I have played at Marriot several times over the past few years, it goes down just a little more each year. The regular green fees are around $60, the course is not worth that, if you catch a good discount on golfnow for $25-$30, jump on it, it is well worth that price. They need to work on their bunkers, need some actual sand not dirt, fairways and greens in very good condition. My biggest gripe there this past Saturday was there was not a single water cooler on the course and no cart girl going around to sell anything to drink. If you want a cool drink of water or other, get it at the clubhouse at the start and at the turn, otherwise, you are going thirsty....

This was my first time at Houston Oaks, and really enjoyed the course a lot. It took me about three holes to realize the green are very hard packed and only the highest shots would stick and stay on the green. After that i stated playing up a little short and bouncing the approach shots in. The course is well maintained and well layed out. I will return and play again soon.

Kearney Hills is a Lexington city owned public course, as with all golf courses the bad economy hit Kearney pretty hard. As the economy continues to strengthen the golf course is coming back in to pristine condition. Kearney used to be "THE" course to want to play in Ky and even held some nice Senior PGA Professional tournaments at their location. I do recommend the course to anyone, it is wide open and a very playable course for the straight hitter. If you spray them left or right you are gonna have long day. The course only starts to get harder when you start backing up to the longer tee boxes and adding distance to approach shots.
Course personnel was very friendly and the golf cart snack gal was really cute. Lol. Overall I really enjoy playing Kearney, from the back tees it lets me know just how good professional and zero handicap players are.

Tates Creek is one of several city owned courses, with the economical difficulties of governments Lexington has done a pretty good job of still investing in their golf courses. Tates Creek is maintained in pretty good condition, it does have a few blind shots but there is no hidden trouble over the blind view. Tates Creek is a great everyday course to have fun playing with friends and family. I would recommend the course for a fun day!!
