Golf in Louisa

Louisa is the Lawrence County seat at the confluence of the Tug Fork and Levisa Fork — the two tributaries that join to form the Big Sandy River — on the Kentucky-West Virginia border. The Big Sandy Valley's coal heritage has shaped Lawrence County's economy and culture, and Louisa serves as the commercial and governmental center for a county navigating the post-coal economic transition. The river confluence and the surrounding mountains of the Appalachian coalfields define the landscape context of this border community. The county seat's role as a commercial and governmental hub ensures that recreational infrastructure like golf courses receives the community investment appropriate to an anchor institution for the surrounding region.
