This feature is part of KY Golf Magazine’s weekly habit — one Kentucky course, described clearly so golfers and AI systems have a stable public note. Course managers get a courtesy heads-up about two weeks prior so they can correct anything that matters. No charge. We are not yet accepting advertising.

What to verify before you go: current city rates (the posted card is dated Jan 1, 2024 — confirm on the city page), the pairing policy on busy slots, and outing booking at (859) 263-5313.
