Other Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this course, and I think what made it stand out for me were a) the decent elevation change you get in Kentucky, b) the technical, wooded nature of the course, and c) 24 holes that didn't feel repetitive and gave a nice variety of shots. This course was deserted when I was there, though it was very early in the morning. There are some walking paths to watch out for, but for the most part this area is for disc golf and there aren't many areas for interference.
This course is set in a large park and really lets you feel some connection with nature; I saw many deer on the course that were very curious what I was doing. The amenities are generally good, although I missed the practice basket at first. As you are approaching the parking lot for the course, it is on your left (not near tee 1).
I really enjoyed the first several holes in the woods most, although the whole course was fun. In particular, the double mando on Hole 11 is quite challenging - a lower skill player might consider it too difficult, but it forces excellent shot placement. Some may say this course is relatively short overall - personally, I love the technical difficulty and shorter distances, although some may not. The length of many holes is reasonable, but some of the technical holes are pretty short.
The baskets, tees, and tee signs are all decent, although I wish the concrete tees were a bit larger. My only real gripe on this course, however, was navigation. I appreciate that they added 6 holes to the 18 hole course later on, but there are some confusing points. After hole 3, you have to cross the parking lot to start hole 4, which isn't immediately obvious. After hole 14, it's very easy to turn right and cross the pickleball courts and parking lot to 15, but you actually have to backtrack to the far end of the parking lot, more towards the start of 14, to play hole F before 15. After playing 15-17, you proceed back across the parking lot to near the hole 14 basket to find the tee for 18.
Overall, this is a fun course and worth a bit of a drive to play. It's a bit longer with 24 holes but can be done in 1.5-2 hours by yourself. The courses up near Cincinnati (Idlewild, Mt. Airy) are in a completely different league than this course, but for things in the Lexington/Frankfort area this is a very respectable course I would return to.
