Golf in Benton

Benton is the Marshall County seat in the heart of western Kentucky's Land Between the Lakes region, where Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley create one of the largest inland recreational water areas in the eastern United States. The lakes' combined shoreline exceeds 3,000 miles, attracting anglers, boaters, and outdoor enthusiasts from across the mid-South and Midwest. Marshall County has built its economy around lake recreation and the rural residential development that the lakes' scenic shores have attracted, transforming a previously agricultural county into a destination community. Kentucky's varied geography — from the flat Purchase region to the Appalachian highlands — creates golf communities with distinct characters, and each county seat's course reflects the landscape and culture of its specific corner of the state.
