That course looks fantastic, thats the sort of place I would love to play golf.

I must get myself out to the states at some point...

This course is very close to the Greater Northern Kentucky Airport, and a short drive from Cinci

All I can say is wow, this place is so nice. It is on a whole other lever than anything I have ever played (that was not located in AZ). Very well kept, puts other courses to shame in the Southern Ohio area (even the Greg Norman designed Elks Run) this is nothing but a well groomed beautiful golf course. The club house looks like something on the front of a post card, completely beautiful. If I had to rate this course 1-10 I would give it an 11.

Make sure you come prepared though; the pro shop might be the most expensive one I have ever seen. I think I had to pay $100 for a Snickers bar. Also bring plenty of one dollar bills there are people catering to your every need and it is respectful to tip them. While you are on the 18th green you will get your clubs detailed and you want to still have a few left over dollar bills to tip for that.

As far as difficulty, it is challenging as you make it, if you execute your tee shot, your second is a fairly simple one, and so on… if you start messing up you will be 10 shots above your average in now time like I was. This course beat me. I will be back because the first time there I was two struck by the courses beauty to play a good round.
