Great experience minus one thing-

The course was very nice for a public course. The greens need to be a little faster but can't expect everything to be perfect on a public course. Sadly they were out of alcohol because of July 4th, but the only bad part was on hole 16. The water smelled terrible, there is raw sewage pouring into the pond. This needs fixed asap! Other than that, the course was beautiful and well kept.

Great layout

Not as pristine as it once was, but this is a great course. Fairways and greens in very good shape. Will play again.

Great Course

First time playing this course, never knew Lexington had a links course. I try to play a different course each time I visit home, and this course just moved up as my favorite.

Course layout has plenty of challenges for golfers of any skill level, big greens that also challenges your reading capabilities. I was paired with two guys that gave me the lay of the land, which was like having a personal caddie.

Really enjoyed the course, can't wait to play it again.

Simple request

Whoever is in charge of placing the tee markers. Turn the numbers towards the cart path. Ball marks on the greens, like everywhere are ridiculous. Fixing Ball marks should be taught at the clubhouse before every tee time. Golfers should be happy that they hit a green and take pride in fixing their mark.

A challenge

This is a well maintained course, staff was helpful and friendly. We got behind a 5 some and had to call the pro shop to help speed up play, they responded quickly and took care of the problem. This course is not what I call senior friendly many long par 4’s best to play up if your an older golfer imho.
