Golf in Hartford

Hartford is the Ohio County seat in western Kentucky between Louisville and the coal fields, a community serving a county whose agricultural economy of tobacco and grain farming is supplemented by the coal industry in the northern portion of the county. Ohio County's size — one of Kentucky's largest by area — creates a substantial rural population dispersed across a large agricultural landscape, and Hartford provides the county government and commercial services that sustain the farming communities. 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.
