Best looking course I’ve ever played (so far)

The course is beautiful and very challenging so if you’re new to golf, bring a lot of golf balls, but sometimes the greens and tea boxes can use a bit of work if they were better maintained this course would be amazing in every way.

Very Good Course and Value

For the price you pay this course is excellent, there were a few spots on tee boxes, fairways and greens on the back nine but for the most part very well maintained and thoroughly enjoyed playing there

Out of the Way and Worth the Trip

Fun course in remote Jenkins, KY atop a mountain. From the blacks, the 1st tee is 240 yards -- forced carry over a wide canyon. Several more crazy carries like this makes for an exciting experience. The greens were good, but slow. Didn't find the sand much but bunkers have sand. Fast play topped off a great day!

Beautiful place, wish I could give higher praise.

3rd time playing here within a year. Golf now booing each time. Pace of play this time, on a Monday to beat it all, was brutal. All other times the pro shop staff was great, but today not friendly at all….almost like we were an inconvenience being there. Ground crew polite during play and actually helpful on the course. Figure this was an outlier today and therefore I would encourage you to give it a try. I just can’t understand why any business would put people in the pro shop that aren’t professional and friendly with their patrons.

Fair but convenient

Rates per course conditions are too high
Sand has been added to bikers and brush is being cut down but the greens and fairways could use improvement

Good deal

Nice for March. Some of the greens still coming back from last year. Beautiful course with all kinds of scenery between holes. Good challenge for any skill level. Staff super friendly and great deal on golf now.

Needs some maintenance work

Course layout is awesome, greens have some bad spots where they have burned up and needs someone with some greens knowledge to help them out. No one driving around with refreshments and no water coolers around the course. Carts paths need trimmed so carts don’t hit low branches. A lot of senior golfers must not play course because gold tees are only 10 yards difference from most of white tees, they need more help to be able to compete on this long course. Can be fun for them as well with a little thought of where to put their tee boxes, somewhere in between white and red! Beautiful course just needs a little help in how things need to be done to make it what it can be!!!
