Golf Club Of The Bluegrass

Kentucky's rolling limestone terrain creates the perfect canvas for this Rees Jones design, where elevation changes of up to 80 feet demand precise club selection and reward strategic thinking. The par-4 16th plays downhill through a narrow chute of mature hardwoods, requiring a bold carry over Jessamine Creek to reach a green that slopes dramatically toward the water. Jones masterfully uses the natural topography to create multiple risk-reward scenarios, particularly on the back nine where the routing follows ridgelines that showcase the horse country's pastoral beauty.
