Worth it to play both golf courses. The 9th hole out here is one of the best golf holes in the state of KY. Just doesn’t fit the course at all. Make sure to play the par 3 course at Keene Run. Super fun.

Fun track, but conditions are always a shot in the dark. Definitely prefer the back nine, especially holes 14-16.
