Golf in Frankfort

Frankfort is Kentucky's state capital, one of the smallest state capitals in the country by population, positioned in the narrow Kentucky River valley with dramatic palisades rising on both sides. The capitol's golden dome is visible from the surrounding bluffs, and the city's intimate scale creates a governmental environment more accessible and less anonymous than most state capitals. The Kentucky River's palisades — limestone gorges hundreds of feet deep — create one of the most dramatic settings of any American capital city. 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.
