Maybe next year

I've played this course before in the past and have always had a good time. Legendary is a good course and is normally a blast but today was not. They had an outing before us and the pace was so slow my group quit on no 11.
The other thing that was very dissapointing was that the course wasn't in that good of shape. The starter told me that the had part of the irrigation system break but there was a lot of dead spots in the fairways and rough. Then I'm not sure if this is relayed but the greens were super long and pretty slow. I'm okay if your trying to save the greens in the late summer by growing them out but at least. Putts looked like a motocross race out there.
I will play legendary again but probably not this year.
It frustrates me that's one of the courses around here that get consistent play either jam people in to the point you won't finish your round or charge 45 50 bucks for a beat up course.

Great course bad weather.

Had another great time at HEGC! The course was great, but we got caught in a wicked storm. It rained hard for about 45 min before we could get back out on the course but it was still enjoyable.

Best I've played this year

This was the first time I've played stonelock and I was blown away. This is the best public course near cincinnati!
I had a great time and w as super impressed. The pace was quick, and they had rangers that maintained the pace.
Prestige course with a pricy tag but is well worth treating yourself to.

Good course weird layout

This was the first time ever playing this course and I had heard good things from a former coworker about it so I was interested in playing. Overall the course was very well maintained, greens rolled quick, and it wasn't too crowded.
The only negatives were that it was very wet from all the rain and the rough was high so some balls off the fairway would plug or disappear even if you had a line on it. Overall other than the last hole #9 were good golf holes. #9 is a 300 yard par 4 straight uphill, kind of goofy bc if you lay up with a mid iron to the creek in front of it you still will hit a wedge at blind green. Then on the other hand if you go for it and don't make the green you can barely stand on the hill.
The back 9 on the other hand needed to come with a map. Out of the 9 holes only 2 had visible greens from the tee and 2 were par 3s. No real good pictures of where the greens were on the tee markers either. Overall the conditions were good and pace was great but I'm not a fan of taking 6 iron off the tee on a par 4 or not having a clue where I am aiming off the tee so I can set up a decent 2nd shot.
The true shame is that the NKU kids have to walk this hilly beast. They should adopt a mountain goat for a mascot bc they will be able to climb any hill around after walking this place.

Pass

So this was the second time I've played this course this year. The first was awful and I thought I'd give it another try.
My cousin lives nearby and wanted to play there so I joined him. When we arrived there was a "mini outing" in front of us. So things were painfully slow. The outing was playoff a scramble and the group in front of us seemed to suffer from "I think I can reach them" syndrome. They would wait for the group in front of them to clear the green on par 5s in hopes of getting home in 2 and not come remotely close. They would also do this on no 3 and 4 which are really long par 4s. Pretty safe to fire then chip on the green.
The dude in the pro shop was pretty rude to me when I asked about starting in 10 and he also made a comment about me booking on golf now.
No ranger present to speed things up and when we tried to move ahead of the slow guys in front of at the turn who stopped to refuel with a few cases of beer we were quickly stopped by them. So we played the front 2 x.
The time I listed was for the front 2x if we'd played the back I'd probably still be there.
I'd sayid u want to wasted the majority of your day for a course who greens look like something out of Iraq go for it. I won't be there ever again to slow you up.

This is a good course that's very pretty. It's taken care I've well and the staff does a good job. My issue was pace of play we awful and the group behind me was constantly on my butt hitting in on me. I'd play it again in the off season or a weekday. Never agin on a weekend.

The course is great and really pretty. The only criticism I have is that there weren't any rangers. I got stuck behind an inconsiderate family playing, and I was a single. They had 2 holes open ahead of them so I would of been nice if they let me play through or a ranger told them too.

I'd highly recommend this course. It's better than most of the ones I play at home.

This is the best course that I've played all year, and I've played a few country clubs this year. The course was pristine and challenging.

This is the best course that I've played this year. I played here in an outing earlier on and loved the course. It's difficult but not super hard, and there isn't a single "dumb" hole on any of the 3 nines. I hate when you pay a lot for a course and you get out there and they have a 100 yard par 3 that's flat with out any danger. This course will not disappoint. The greens are lightning quick, nice fluffy sand, and overall a good challenge for your mid to low HC golfer.

The course is in good shape. I didn't get to play the entire course because of rain but the greens were in good shape and there were no signs of dead grass anywhere on the course.

Great course

Overall the course was great and maintained well. The greens have bounced back from last year when they all nearly died out. They are still on the mend, there are lighter collared spots all over the greens that provide for some inconsistencies with putting.

The only issue I had was that the tere were no starters anywhere to regulate pace of play. I sat of about 15 minutes on no 10 waiting to tee off and it didn't look like teeing off was going to happen anytime soon. So I turned around and played the front again.

Over all the course is great. No a trace of dead grass anywhere, the greens are great, and the rough is up. The only areas for improvement would be making the greens a little quicker. They were slightly inconsistent and slow. Other than that they are fixing a few water mains that requires the fair ways to be torn up on no 3 and one of th holes on the back but the damage is minimal. This course has done a complete 180 in the last couple of years and I love aging it and can't wait to get out there again soon.
