Golf in Lucas

Lucas is a Barren County community near Barren River Lake State Park, in the cave country of south-central Kentucky. The state park's golf course serves both the park's outdoor recreation visitors and the local Barren County community. The surrounding karst limestone landscape creates the cave country character that makes this corner of Kentucky distinctive, and the lake provides water recreation complementing the cave tourism that draws visitors to Mammoth Cave National Park nearby. 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.
