Golf in Lexington

Lexington is the second-largest city in Kentucky and the Heart of the Bluegrass, home of the University of Kentucky, Keeneland Race Course, and the global center of the Thoroughbred horse industry. The city's identity is inseparable from horses — the Kentucky Horse Park, the surrounding farms where champions are bred and trained, and the racing culture that draws international attention twice yearly to Keeneland. UK's enrollment of approximately 30,000 and the university's medical center create a substantial academic and professional community alongside the horse industry's distinct social world. 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.
