Golf in Lexington-Fayette urban county

The Lexington-Fayette urban county government represents the merged city-county entity created in 1974 when Lexington and Fayette County unified their governments. The urban county encompasses approximately 285 square miles of the central Bluegrass, from the city's urban core to the surrounding horse farms and agricultural lands that define central Kentucky's most famous landscape. The unified government has shaped development in ways that have preserved the agricultural greenbelt surrounding Lexington, maintaining the horse farm character that defines the Bluegrass Region. Kentucky's strong sense of local identity means that county seat golf clubs serve as genuine community institutions, hosting charity tournaments, business networking, and the social occasions that connect the professional community.
