Played after a 175 person scramble so the course was wide open. After attending a conference at the Center for Rural development I was able to get to the course at 4:00pm on a Wednesday after a call to the pro shop. The 18-hole "Eagle's Nest" course located on Hwy 39 (not identified on YELP correctly) is in the Eagle's Nest Country Club facility in Somerset, Kentucky. The course features 6,404 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71 . The course rating is 70.8 and it has a slope rating of 123. Good soft greens for 94 degree weather. Well worth the fee.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
