Valhalla is one of those courses that splits opinion. Some swear by it, others will tell you it’s overrated. The truth probably lives somewhere in between. What’s undeniable is how beautiful it is.

Really good design (no surprise given it’s a Dye design). The facilities are run down. The clubhouse needs major renovations. The course was in good shape, though.

Bunkers guarding almost every green, and not a ton of trees in play. Holes 2-4-9 are solid on the front, but I definitely prefer the back nine. 11-14-17-18 are my favorite holes. The view from 18 tee is insane. Great range and putting green, bonus points for a dedicated short game area!

Lassing Pointe is a fun public track down in Kentucky that I always enjoy getting out to, but it definitely sees a ton of play — and you can tell. The layout has a few really fun holes mixed in with some that are just okay, so it’s a bit of a mixed bag overall.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Kentucky. Rankings refresh about hourly.
