Fun course!

We have played here many times and this time the greens were faster than I have ever experienced. We loved it but it sure changed the way you putt!!
So whoever is taking care of the greens has done a great job!!
The little grill looks like it has had some upgrades as well so that’s another option aside from playing golf.

Local Favorite Course

We played early so the dew was thick. The course was in great shape but the t boxes had high grass. I think they were mowing as we were playing so no big deal just had to use tall tees.
Greens were wonderful and we didn’t have any issues with any other players or the cart. What more can you ask for?

Great Bang for the buck

I play this course now and then and I enjoy it a lot.
Several holes are challenging and a few are daring you to go for it. Several are easy if you just play your distances. It’s a nice mix of challenges.
Greens were fast today and the course was in good shape.
As always the staff was great.

Good course

The course plays easy for average players like myself. Just play from the whites and you have a decent chance or scoring well.
You better know how to hit punch shots out of the trees because you will be there at some point. The greens were decent but several need more work.
Overall it’s a good course.

Nice course

The course plays nicely. The only thing that we have to worry about is other golfers hitting in on top of us.....there are a few blind holes and if you don’t drive up to see if it’s ok to hit you could hurt someone. We had this happen many times. It just should be mentioned while paying for your round and getting your cart.

Decent course

We use to play this course as the brook. Today was the first time we played under new management. The course needs a little work but it’s not bad. It was nice to get back there. The greens were hard since we haven’t had a bunch of rain lately but in decent shape. Fairways were hard so you would get some good roll on those drives.
I think the cost is a little high for 18 holes but with the hot deal on golf now it was ok.

Good and bad

In short many of the back nine greens need major repair. The cost of playing should have been half or less. Honestly it’s terrible. They need to be ripped up and reseeded.
The course was nice in other areas but to charge full price was unfair. I like the course but it needs some work back there. Better to skip those holes and replay some of the other holes.

Great course but....

I really enjoy this course! My issue was the pace of play. Most courses have this issue from time to time and it could be solved with a staff member riding around and observing or asking others how the pace is for them.
We had an older group ahead of us that really needed a lesson on how to be courteous to other golfers. They backed us up and several behind us to the point we would have 3 carts waiting to tee off at our hole. We don’t play fast or slow nor do we care to wait a little but this was terrible.
Ahead of them was an adult with young kids who were taking pics instead of playing but they didn’t hold the older group up because they were very very slow.
A simple solution is a staff member riding out and asking what is going on when they see carts piled up on one hole waiting for one group.
I will be back and the course is great but people can be inconsiderate or even clueless as to what they are doing to others. It was a good day but could have been so much better.
Thank you

Solid course

I have played this course several times and it remains one of the better courses to play in central Ky. The greens are almost fully healed from the recent work on them. Plenty of water to play around and nice fairways to hit from. I will be back!

Spring Golf

The weather has been nasty this Spring but the course played well. The only complaint was the greens being sandy from the aeration....not a big problem as it’s a part of the game. Great course, staff was prompt and courteous.....we will play the course again!

Squeezing in a round before Winter

The place was basically empty. A few other players but we had the course to ourselves. My only wish about this course is that the rough was mowed tighter. Many times we spent several minutes to find a ball that was only 2 feet off the fairway but buried in the grass. We all hit shots like this and this wound help a golfer not spend so much time looking for the ball. The course was in great shape.

Plenty of scoring holes

Getting a few birdies on the front nine is very possible. Get through the Par 3’s unscathed and take advantage of the straight par 4’s and you can have a very good round.
The course is in good shape and the clubhouse is a great place to relax and take a break on the turn.
This is a good course to play. I will continue to play here.

Still enjoy playing the course!

We showed up and the parking lot was full! We could see golfers around and thought ok just be patient and enjoy the day.
To our surprise the pace of play was nice and the course was in great shape.
I played some of the best golf I have played in a few months. The wind was gusting but it was a beautiful day on a nice well maintained course.
It's just a clean place inside the clubhouse and on the property. Must play course in Lexington.

Back to the first course

This is the first course I played years ago and it's still a decent course. The back nine has some fairly straight holes but the elevation can play tricks on you.
The front nine has par 5's that you can take adantage of but you have to watch the slopes. It's a fun course and the signature hole in my opinion is hole #11 Par 3.
Greens, fairways and t-boxes were in good shape.
I'll play it more often.

Wet Winter Day

The course was wet which is not the fault of the management as we have had rain for weeks. Greens were in excellent shape and the course layout was unique. Scenery was great and we had Turkeys around us on several holes which was cool.
I can't wait to come back in the summer and play it as the fairways will green up and it will be much more dry and that will make this course play as if we have not played it before. Really was a nice course.

First impressions.

I have heard about the course but never found the opportunity to play it....I'm glad I did. The excitement of playing this course was high based on this being a Pete Dye course. There is a driving range and a practice putting green.

Rolling Kentucky hills and beautiful weather made this a great experience. The course was nice and the greens were in decent shape but fast! We need rain. I like the layout but you have to be wary of other golfers. We had to wait several times for guys driving on our fairway from a sliced ball or just tight fairways....that happens on other courses but this day was busy with off shots. Basically some areas are just tight but it's ok.
I'll be back now that I have an better idea of how to play a few holes better. Good value on a decent course.

Fun with surprises

The course is under new ownership and management and the changes are fantastic. Switching up tee boxes to create different angles to the greens while challenging you with shot distances and control are a few changes. Our recent game had us asking ourselves many times on going for the green or laying up because of the new tee box locations. It's nice to have those thoughts while playing. Let's face it we all can't hit 300 yard drives everyday so it's nice to have to manage your game with 230-250 yard drives on Par 4's with 300 to the pin. Yes you still have the long holes but it's so nice to play with short irons in your hands because of decent first shots on the shorter holes.

I have played courses with PGA Pro Chris Boysel running the show and he brings a new welcomed feel to the courses he runs. We will be back soon!
