Paired up

Good course but didn't like how they pair you up in groups of 4. Booked a 11:15 time with a buddy and had to wait for two more guys to come and tee up with us. I paid for 2 so should of been able to play with two.

Good for the price

Another great deal from the city of Lexington. Course is challenging in parts with lots of hills and trees, but also has several birdie holes on it. I'll be back again soon.

Review of Tate's creek

Still early in the season so it wasn't groomed the best, very high patchy roughs. Greens were in great shape and fast. Fairways were decent. Overall fun course

Same old Tates Creek

Course is in pretty good shape for late fall. The maintenance staff has done a fair job of leaf control and the course is very playable

Like Tates Creek

It wasn't pristine, but the layout was nice and the greens were pretty good; they held and rolled true. Greens are challenging to hit because they slope off to the sides.

Weekend get-away

Okay, this course was extremely hilly and finding a level lie in the fairway almost impossible...what a test of golf! The greens were in excellent shape and I thought they were quite fast so they would hold you're line. We went due to price on the now but I would play it again at full price.

Fun everyday type course...

Tates Creek is one of several city owned courses, with the economical difficulties of governments Lexington has done a pretty good job of still investing in their golf courses. Tates Creek is maintained in pretty good condition, it does have a few blind shots but there is no hidden trouble over the blind view. Tates Creek is a great everyday course to have fun playing with friends and family. I would recommend the course for a fun day!!

Great Value

Good Value for the $s, tight fairways, small greens, lots of blind shots. Only beef was one hole had a large tree right in front of the green, shot down the middle of the fairway was blocked out, Need to cut that tree back greatly!

Good course

A few holes you can't see the green and have difficulty seeing other golfers from tee box. Great greens. Well maintained. Hazards clearly marked.
