Big Blue Great

Course was in great shape with well manacured fairways and graduated rough. One of the best courses I’ve played this year. The greens were very fast and firm, but a well struck shot would still bite. It has been several years since I played this course and there have been some changes made to a few holes. I look forward to playing it again soon.

Good value as Hit Deal

Weather has been tough, and it's still early in the season in all fairness. Green's were rollin well and fairways in good shape. The rough was spotty with bare areas and clumpy. We should have been playing winter rules but decided to play it down which made for some tough lies. Still this course should be great in a month or two, just wish others knew how to repair their ball marks and divots. The group in front of us couldn't even take a bunker!

Great Rework of Course

It has been several years since I played this course as it was just very boring after playing a few times. Now the difference since Altec has taken over ownership and they have spent some big money on the course.

They have switched the nines and done some great work sprucing up the course to change the overall look of it. The bunkers are in fantastic shape and very well groomed as well as the fairways and rough. The greens are in fair condition with some bad spots, but most every course in the area is having the same issues, the speed of them was fast on most but some seemed a bit inconstant. The par threes are very interesting, giving a verity of different looks and shots. The old mansion is now the club house and pro shop and the bar restaurant is wonderful. They only sell their brand of beer and bourbon and other alcoholic drinks but they are also good choices and the food was very good.

This course is really getting better with all the improvements they have made, in fact I would recommend you give it a try if you've not played it or it's been a while since you did. I ended up playing it twice in the same week I was so impressed with it.

Nice Challenge

This is a really nice playable course. Played the white tees and felt it was very fair distance. The fairways were in great shape with many uneven lies that add to the challenge. The greens are medium to fast, but suffer from player not fixing their marks. Most of the the bunkers are nice but some still waiting on the redo. The staff is great and the course is well maintained.

Gibson Bay Still Great

I had played this course many times but had not played in the last few years. Course was in great shape except for pitch marks on the greens. It is a shame that players don't fix their ball marks. This course is a challenge for most due to blind shots on several holes. It is not a simple course, but does offer some nice scoring opportunities. Very friendly staff and nice club house. You really can't go wrong playing here.

Great Value

The course was in great shape, with the exception of the bunkers and few greens that had som bad spots. Over all it was a great day at the course. It has been several years sense I played this course, but the new owners are making it great again. We did not hit any of the bunkers, but they looked to need some attention. Otherwise the course was well groomed. I recommend trying a round!!

Canewood Casual Round

Course was in fair condition after some heavy rains the days before. Ruff was tall and difficult to fine the ball when you missed the fairway. The fairways were a bit saggy, but with all the rain to be expected. Greens were in very good shape, but some what inconsistent on speed. Over all it was a good round, for meeting a old friend and just having fun. Ended up getting the Hot Deal so the value was great.

Super Nice Course

Has been a while since I played this course, but still a great place. On the day we played the weather was excellent, had not rained in 5 days, but the course was very damp. Showed signs of recent aerification on the greens and fairways, looked as if it had been done the prior week. The greens were on the slow side, but very playable. In the fairways the ball had very little roll and most of the time had mud on it. This being said the course played long, but was in great shape, and over all enjoyed the round. The courts is very open for the most part, and water comes into play more on the back nine. once you get to far off the fairway very heavy heather is abundant, but you have missed your target badly to get there. This is a course that you will want to play more than once, and is a very good value. and well worth the drive (14 minutes) from Lexington.

Nice Sunday afternoon

Course was on good shape, and there were no back ups during round. Over all very good experience. Played in just under 4 hrs. Greens were a little on the slow side, but otherwise good.
