Golf in Gratz

Gratz is an Owen County community on the Kentucky River in the scenic palisades country north of Frankfort. Owen County's rural character and the Kentucky River's limestone gorge create one of the most scenically dramatic landscapes in central Kentucky, and Perry Park Golf Resort has established a destination golf property that draws visitors to a corner of the state not typically associated with golf tourism. The county's isolation from major urban centers preserves the natural character that makes the Kentucky River palisades so compelling. The broader Kentucky community's investment in outdoor recreation reflects a quality-of-life commitment that sustains golf facilities alongside the parks, festivals, and civic institutions that define community character.
