Golf in Henderson

Henderson is the Henderson County seat on the Ohio River in western Kentucky, a city where John James Audubon lived and painted from 1810 to 1819, producing many of the bird portraits that would become his foundational contribution to American natural history. Audubon's Henderson connection is commemorated in the Audubon State Park and Museum, and the city has built a heritage tourism dimension around the naturalist's residence. Henderson's manufacturing economy and Ohio River position sustain a community that takes cultural heritage seriously. The surrounding county's economic base — whether agricultural, industrial, or service-driven — creates the recreational golf market that sustains local facilities through the economic cycles that affect every Kentucky community.
