Grayson Lake State Park

The rolling hills of eastern Kentucky create natural amphitheaters for golf, and this state park layout maximizes every elevation change with greens that seem to hover above tree-lined fairways. Water comes into play on half the holes, demanding precision over the lake that gives this track its dramatic finishing stretch. You'll find legitimate birdie opportunities if you can navigate the doglegs that bend around mature hardwoods, but the undulating terrain punishes anything less than committed swings.
