Gay Brewer Jr. Course at Picadome

Trees on this course need serious attention. 1 hole had an entire tree that had fallen onto the blue tee box. Had 3 nice drives knocked down by overgrown branches hanging over the fairway. Greens hadn't been watered at all for a long time and were so hard and fast that no amount of backspin mattered because the ball would bounce like the green was the cart path and the grass was cut slightly uneven which made the roll of puts and short chips incredibly unpredictable. It is obvious that the city is holding back on the budget. While, due to COVID closures, most of the courses in the area are immaculate, this one was below expectations.

A few tee boxes were in really bad shape but fairways and greens were well taken care of

Narrow fairways with wide grassy areas of rough contribute to a more challenging experience than expected. Traps frequently had little sand in them. Overall, a nice city course that I’ll look forward to playing again.

Fairways are awful for the price. They squeeze way to many people in to try to make more money so it took 6 hours to play which is awful

Course was in good condition and pace of play was good. Passed two groups easily as a single player. Value was decent, course is challenging, i will play again.

I have played this course fairly regularly since moving to Lexington and keep coming back. It's a steal as far as price goes, especially if you get the twilight rate. Always in good enough shape. Some greens are on the small side. In my opinion, the course plays much easier from the whites than the blues, with the difference between the two being larger than most courses. The blues pose much harder looks due to trees, etc. All in all, I'd recommend to about anyone.

Visiting in Lexington and stopped at Picadome. Had a pleasant experience on this very apparent older design course. The conditions were pretty good and course neatly laid out and cared for. Level of difficulty on this rather short track is not hard from the the forward tee box, but the blue tees add significant complexity and length to toughen up a good number of the holes. Used all but two clubs in my bag playing from the tips. Only a few real threats of losing a ball exist on this course and most danger is derived from the placement of large mature trees, a couple tight dog-legs, and generally very small greens (smallest I recall anywhere) which require a certain degree of precision with the iron play, particularly on approach shots. Great course for walkers and lovers of muni-style golf. Will return.

In Lexington for a week and what a great group of city courses. This one was at the top of the list. It has an old country club design and conditioning with some great looks. We played Monday and immediately made a tee time to come back Thursday. Since we were new in town and playing for the first time , a staff member gave us a quick overview on the 1st tee. Everybody was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Played in just a little over 3 hrs both days. People who live in Lexington should be grateful to have this type of course available at city course pricing.

One of the better public courses in Kentucky. Short but challenging from the white tees. A real challenge from the blue tees. Small greens with lots of subtle break. Some with moderate to severe break. A shot placement course. Driver not required on all holes but a well placed shot is rewarded. Easy to let a round get away from you as there is trouble looming at every hole.

This course isn't great. Not long and not in the greatest condition. This course had pipe work done last year because of drainage. Not a course I would recommend to a friend. If you are a late golfer though, you get a great deal after 6 pm.

Picadome was recommended by the staff at our hotel, so we went. It was inexpensive ($16/person/9 holes), but we soon found out it was not worth the price.

Many of the fairways are already dead, and most of the roughs are thick with clover. We had trouble finding balls in the 2nd cut roughs; not 10 feet off the fairways. There is much repair going on as you see big stretches of fairways roped off, or sectioned off with plastic and stakes. The sand traps also lacked any kind of sand. The greens were peppered with ball marks. I could land a ball softly on the greens, and they rolled well when I did not have to go around the ball marks.

This is not a tremendously difficult course. This is probably due to the length. I played the middle tees since I haven't played in 3 months. The short length, and sort of open feeling of the course still made it pretty easy.

I'd probably try it again if the repairs are completed.

Belonged to this course many years ago. It's in much better shape, even this time of year, than it was back then. Many improvements have been made over the years. My only complaint is the bunkers. I was in them twice, but much to my surprise I got out okay. Instead of sand, they seem to be filled with dirt.

Had a challenging but enjoyable time. Small greens and narrow fairways always make for a challenge.

On the challenging side of moderate. Small greens with a lot of slope to them

Course was in outstanding shape...course was heavily played but pace of play was great!
