Bunkers guarding almost every green, and not a ton of trees in play. Holes 2-4-9 are solid on the front, but I definitely prefer the back nine. 11-14-17-18 are my favorite holes. The view from 18 tee is insane. Great range and putting green, bonus points for a dedicated short game area!

Links-style course with very limited tree trouble. The elevation changes are a lot of fun, and paired with the lack of trees, blind shots can really be a challenge to gauge. Love holes 2-6-9-18. Range is subpar and no real clubhouse environment.

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

Really good design (no surprise given it’s a Dye design). The facilities are run down. The clubhouse needs major renovations. The course was in good shape, though.

Layout is super fun and conditions are better than most in town. Great variation of wide open holes and hazard/OB. Plenty of risk/reward. Favorite holes are 4-11-12-15.

Hands down the best course in Georgetown, but comes with a hefty price tag. The front nine is pretty standard, and hole 8 is always a challenge for me. The back nine brings quite a bit more water and tree trouble into play, and holes 12-17-18 are always fun.

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.
