My son and I visited the course on a sunday, after a heavy rain for the previous 3 days. It was cart path only, which I expected. There was some standing water, but not enough to sour our day. The course is tight, and control is the name of the game. Trees line either side of most fairways, and the creak is a factor in 8 of them. It was busy the day we went, but was told by a regular that normally it is quiet, I think the holiday weekend, and not being able to golf Saturday and Sunday led most to find a tee time where they could. The fringe was longer then expected, but they may not have be ab…

Great 9 hole course. Well maintained. Large greens. Lots of hills. Friendly staff. Newly updated driving range. One of my favorite places to play. With the best kept greens of all the metro parks. Real hidden gem of a course. Would recommend it to anyone that has never played here.

Another wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors and golf at the same time. This nine hole course offers a mixture of challenging holes along with more relaxing holes along the way. Definitely a course need to come to.

Solid 9 hole course. Always in good condition but with a few trouble spots, nothing major though. I play here at least once a week to work on my shots.

I love this course, the layout is beautiful and the course plays great . The greens are normally in great condition too ! (Early summer has its toll on most courses in the area) pricing isn’t bad and staff has always been pretty cool. I play this course about once a month or so and I’ve never left feeling like I wasted my time and money.

Unfortunately, this course was not enjoyable. When we first arrived it took forever to get groups checked in and the guy had no idea what he was doing. The course itself was not well maintained. The tee boxes are overgrown, the greens are grown over and there were rotted holes in the greens. I did not have a good experience here. The only positive is their walk up tee times. Overall, I wish the course had more funding so it could be better maintained and offer a more enjoyable golfing experience.

I would highly recommend finding a different place to golf this fall. I feel the course shouldn’t even be open right now. 4 holes have temporary greens which were basically the same as putting on a fairway at any other course. The greens that were open were basically 50% dirt/sand. I didn’t see a single person doing any maintenance on the course while we were there. We stopped keeping score after the first hole.

terrible . worst course in louisville by far . greens are horrendous, fairways are taller than victor wembynyama on top of that they charge your caddie $10 to ride around the worst golf course in louisville. if you want a nice place to golf .. STAY AWAY FROM BOBBY NICHOLS

We went here with 4 boys very excited to play foot golf and were told they have a golf league coming in the afternoon so we would have to come back another day. I got the feeling that they just didn’t want my kids to be there, which happens a lot when you have a large family. The website doesn’t say you have to book a time for foot golf…hopefully we can find another place one day to enjoy the experience with our boys. Also, foot golf is a bit pricey. I read somewhere that it’s best to go after 4. So if going, save some money and go later in the evening.

We booked a tee time for a party of five. We paid as a party of five. Then one of the staff members came out, four holes in, and told us we can't play as a party of five. We have to be a group of two and a group of three. So, three of us skipped a hole, only to be directly behind the group that is in front of us. As they are just now teeing off, I have the time to write this review. All under the explanation of a group of five would take too long and delay the group behind us. Then maybe don't book parties of five. Also, no food was ready. Just some candy bars and chips with some canned alcoho…

Played on Sat morning was 8:15 tee time. Entire course was like concrete. Cart path bridge out, had to go thru 2 other fairways to get to next hole. Cart paths are terrible, big potholes, and ruts in them. T-box grass, couldn't hardly get a tee into the ground, like pushing into concrete. Bobby, the golf pro, very unfriendly. I pay my taxes like everyone else, and greens fees like the rest there... Either need to repair the entire course, or close it. Hopefully someone else will buy it and run it right !
