Kentucky

Tee off in Bourbon Country

If you are looking for a golf experience that offers a diverse range of courses, Kentucky has it all. From rolling hills to traditional woodland park settings, it provides more than just your average fairway. What makes the states special is that there is nearly year-round playability, as Kentucky sees sunshine a majority of the year. When your round is over, there is plenty off the course. The rich local culture is rooted in its bourbon and history, providing an authentic and unique experience.

Kentucky’s Golf

Kentucky is home to multiple private and semi-private courses that showcase some of the state’s charming and peaceful countryside

GlenOaks Country Club

GlenOaks Country Club is an 18-hole championship course just outside Louisville. Playing 6,446 yards from the back tees, the course has a rolling terrain that gives its players a mix of uphill and downhill shots. This hidden gem course will showcase a visual variety from hole to hole. This provides a contrast of the average Louisville urban landscape.

The clubhouse features multiple dining options as well as a pro shop.

The Woodford Club

Measuring 6,119 yards from the back tees, The Woodford Club is an 18-hole course that features a “Horse Country” terrain. The farmland views and rolling hills will give players a feeling of a relaxed countryside. The course is a great option for those looking for a comfortable but scenic round.

After your round, the club offers a full-service restaurant featuring whiskey, wine tastings, and an outdoor patio to relax.

Bardstown County Club

From the back tees, Bardstown’s signature course, Maywood, measures 7,200 yards. The course demands length and strategic tee shots when played from the further tees. Golfers of all skill levels can enjoy their round at Bardstown, as the course offers five sets of tees ranging from as low as around 4,700 yards.

Set in the heart of Kentucky’s Bourbon Country, Bardstown offers a round surrounded by rolling, semi-rural scenery that is both natural and peaceful. After golf, explore the area’s charm with private bourbon tastings at nearby distilleries and dinner in Bardstown’s historic downtown.

Cherry Blossom

Cherry Blossom Golf Club in Georgetown is an 18-hole championship course designed for golfers of all skill levels, with multiple tee options and a maximum length of about 6,842 yards. The layout winds through bluegrass hills, where Lane’s Run Creek adds scenic water features and a natural scene to the course. With several holes incorporating both water and strategically placed bunkers, Cherry Blossom rewards accuracy and smart course management.

After coming off the final green, make the short trip to Midway to experience Equus Run Vineyard or enjoy a handcrafted pour at Saddlestone Distillery.
