The views were phenomenal! The elevation and course design are both really neat! However, the course was in pretty bad shape. The greens were dried out and the fairways needed mowed. I understand the courses in Kentucky are/were recovering from weather, so those things should improve. I played here in early June. The experience overall is worth it.
This place is amazing came from Michigan and played 36 today, the staff in the pro shop are great very friendly and helpful. The course is breathtaking with views for days in all directions, grass was long due too heavy rains but the second round it was a major difference cut down. The 10th hole is really cool you hit off a deck down quite a ways on a par 3.
Im giving a 2 because of the Customer service inside the pro shop other then that the Course is in terrible shape definitely the worst I've ever seen this course. The golf carts are absolutely terrible if you wanna rely on the brakes to save you from heading down a hill at Mach speeds dont. It would be in your best interest to creep before and hold the brake to the floor. This course used to be in good shape dont know what happened. Also the greens are rough not a good experience hope they get these issues resolved.
This course is a short and daring course, every hole is drivable but with risks. If you layup off the tee every hole the course is very gettable. The greens are slow, but the course is well manicured. Walking though isn't for the faint of heart, and is a great calf workout! The scenery is beautiful and very quiet. The only bad thing I can say about this place is there is very limited parking so carpooling is the best Idea.
This is a spread out course with mostly tight fairways. The fairways are average and greens are average and some below average. This is a good course for the money-about $40 during the week, including cart.
