I’ve been lucky enough to play both Kendale and Kenview at Kenwood Country Club, and both are fantastic — but Kendale definitely takes the top spot for me. It’s a classic, traditional layout that recently went through a pretty extensive renovation, and you can really tell.

The course itself is always in great shape — the fairways and bunkers are consistently solid, and the greens roll quick and true for a public course. The only thing that can be hit or miss are the tee boxes, just because this place gets so much play during the season.

Easily the best kept public course in the area. Could pass as a country club with better practice facilities. Fun layout with some really tricky greens with tons of different pin placement options can make a hole play different each time you play it. Amazing value

Great conditions and range was super solid. Hospitality was decent but nothing crazy. The course itself is super solid. Lots of opportunities to score if you are accurate off the tee. Just being in the fairway isn’t enough.

Lassing Pointe is a fun public track down in Kentucky that I always enjoy getting out to, but it definitely sees a ton of play — and you can tell. The layout has a few really fun holes mixed in with some that are just okay, so it’s a bit of a mixed bag overall.

A decent layout that can be pretty challenging. The conditions are pretty sub par. Greens don’t run too quick and divots scattered all over the green. Bunkers aren’t well kept and tee boxes are torn up. Not a bad course but expected more for the price.
