Greetings from the Newbie from Kentucky

[TangoDiesel]

Hi All.

I wanted to let everyone know that I just signed up and that I enjoy golf very much. I'm located around the Louisville area, and I am looking for a local golf course to join. I'm hoping that I can find some advice from people who are more experienced than myself. Please respond and let's get to know one another.

I'll close by say, it's better to be at the golf course than at work.  Let's go!

TangoDiesel, some great deals at local clubs in Louisville right now.  Are you looking for just golf, golf and social, golf, social, and a pool?  Let me know and I'll be glad to share my experience with some of the local clubs.

Dear Highscoreinky,

Greetings. I would say at this point I'm just looking for somewhere to play golf for me and my two older boys & we're not necessarily interested in alot of fluff (don't have the $$).  My boys tell me that they want to play golf, but they have a hard time listening when I try and teach them - that will probably be my next thread! LOL. What can you share with me?  Thanks.

I live in Murray right now, but am moving to Owensboro in June

Louisville Metro Parks has a pretty good annual pass for their courses.  You cancheck them out at http://www.louisvilleky.gov/MetroParks/golf/

Woodhaven Country Club has some great deals on membership as well: http://www.woodhavencountryclub.org/

Heriatge Hill, Nevel Meade and several other local courses offer annual programs too.  Good luck in your search.

Welcome Tango!  I have also heard Woodhaven is a pretty good deal on memberships.  But you should shop around.  With the economy, you may be able to get a great deal at a little bit better course.  A few years ago, I heard Oxmoor was hurting for members.

I play so little, that I usually go to Nevel Meade.  If you haven't played there, treat yourself!  And it is only around 30-50 bucks, depending on time and day.

Thank you very much!  It's great to be here, I'm already feeling like I'm getting to know some people.  Have you been playing much this year?

[TangoDiesel]

Hey Dartguy,

I'm like you . . .  as I have heard that some local clubs are trying to gather bigger attendence, but it's hard. I have played Sleepy Hollow and Nevel Meade, both worth the money.  I have a local course down the road, but they are asking around $1000 per year for BASIC membership and cart.  Not sure if I want that or just play here and there as I feel like it.   Your thoughts?

Hi BigAl5150 - Glad to meet you.  Would you happen to be a Van Halen fan?  (The 5150 reminded of them) - sorry for showing my age, but how is the golf course where you're at?

Regards,

TangoDiesel

Hey Tango,

Sorry I haven't been here in a while.  I don't get to play much lately (haven't hit a ball yet this year), but when I get the chance to go to Nevel, I'll send you a pm.
