Beautiful day to be on the course, 72 degrees in February. Second best day of golf I've experienced so far. Fourth hole one shot... on the green. Absolutely amazed myself.

First things first, this place is very unprofessional. Dave was wearing a direct tv uniform?¿ I came with a small group. The first 10 minutes we were rushed by Dave multiple times. Not only Dave but random people as well. Three regulars stated Dave sent them to us and told them we were moving too slow. Another one told us Dave will give us a refund if we just leave. We didn’t break any rules, disrespect anyone, or even get to actually play. We were very confused.. then we were told card members were upset at our speed. By this point we were ready to leave and receive a refund. He tried to make…

This course was ok. Know ahead of time - it's only 9 holes. If you don't go to the course website, and just book from the Parks and Rec site, they don't specify this. We thought we were playing 18, but it was only 9. We also picked up after the second hole. We had lost 6 balls between the two of us on the first. Fairway was deep, course is tight. It's not terrible for $30, but bring balls and know it's only 9 holes.

My experience was not the best at all (as a black customer) id actually never go back. My group was rushed, told that they could be played over…From the start of the transaction it was giving very unprofessional.. knowing that the group were first timers there was no instructions throughly explained. Dave interrupted play multiple times while also complaining about the group taking too long. As a first time golfer i would not suggest going here unless you like to be rushed by strange customers sent by the golf clerk Dave. I did receive a refund but my experience was robbed.

Love this golf course!! One of Louisville’s oldest course, beautiful park like setting this 9-hole golf course has unlimited potential. The city has been trying to close this course for years, but luckily people still fight to keep it open. Its rough due to funding and lack of workers but still a great fun course.

Decent course. Pretty short layout with most par 4s barley 300 yards but pretty tight and a lot slants and up and downs. Very easy to get in trouble and lose errant tee shots. Best to leave the driver at home if if you are a little wild with it.

Not too busy on a Sunday morning, which was nice. The course condition was not the best. $30 for 9 with a cart is a little steep. Would be worth it if the course was in better shape. No alcohol on this course.
