Benny Foster Review of Quail Chase Country Club
Revised 6/17/20.
Revised 6/17/20.
Conditions have not improved much as fairways are still in bad shape but the greens were in better shape than last time. But more importantly, the city's coronavirus protocols are not being followed during this visit. Instead of single rider per cart, the course has attached a sheet of plastic in the center of the cart and is now forcing two riders per cart. Even more disturbing is that when I turned in the cart after the round, the attendant hosed the grass out of the bottom of the cart and then pulled the cart back to the clubhouse for the next set of riders. No cleaning, no sanitation, nothing! The course reached out to me after sending an email to them and assured me that this was a mistake and not the normal policy of the course. He assured me that employees would be advised and trained again to follow proper procedures going forward.
Revised 9/9. Although the conditions are the same, I had stopped playing at Quail Chase due to the way the rounds were being assigned. I decided to try them again to see if it was better. You go off fine and at a normal pace but as you finish the first nine, you find 3 new groups backed up on the back nine. The clubhouse claims that they did not assign any new starts on that side but if that was the case, they need to pay closer attention to where people are starting or have a marshal. I have never seen a marshal since the city took over and it shows! 2 hours to play the front and over 3 hours to play the back should prove to be a problem.
I have played this course for several years and have always been pleased. Now that the city has taken control of the course, its condition has went down a small amount. The staff is nothing but terrific. You could not ask for any better service. The only complaint would have to be the price, which is higher than similar courses. And the metro city golf pass does not allow you to utilize it on weekends, only weekdays. If the city is not careful, the course will go from being one of the premier courses in Louisville to just another course with higher prices.
