Golf in Earlington

Earlington is a Hopkins County community in western Kentucky's coal and agricultural belt, serving the Madisonville area as a residential community within the county's suburban orbit. Hopkins County's western Kentucky coal heritage and its transition toward manufacturing and healthcare employment create the economic context for the Madisonville metropolitan community that encompasses Earlington and the surrounding residential areas. The golf facilities here serve the Hopkins County professional community in the region's principal commercial center. 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.
