Golf in Winchester

Winchester is the Clark County seat in the Bluegrass region east of Lexington, a community positioned in the gently varied terrain between the inner Bluegrass and the Appalachian foothills. Clark County's agricultural heritage of tobacco and horse farming creates the traditional Bluegrass setting, and Winchester serves as a commercial center for the county's farming community. The Ale-8-One soft drink — a ginger-ale-citrus blend beloved across eastern Kentucky — was invented in Winchester, providing an unexpected cultural distinction for this Bluegrass county seat. Golf has served this Kentucky community as a consistent recreational anchor through economic cycles, providing an outdoor activity that connects residents to the natural landscape in every season that weather permits.
