BIG SPRING COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Louisville, KY, USA
Designed by Arthur Hills, Bill Diddel, Bryce Swanson, George Davies, Larry Packard, Rees Jones, Tom Winton

Big Spring Country Club sits in Louisville, Kentucky, and carries a design lineage that reflects nearly a century of evolution. The course traces its origins to work by George Davies and Bill Diddel, both active in Kentucky golf architecture during the early-to-mid twentieth century. Over the decades, the layout has seen contributions from several architects—Larry Packard, Arthur Hills, Rees Jones, Tom Winton, and Bryce Swanson—each leaving marks through renovations, restorations, or hole redesigns that have kept the course current while maintaining its place in Louisville's country club tradition.
The routing takes advantage of the rolling terrain characteristic of the region, with elevation changes that add strategic interest and variety to the round. Tree-lined fairways and traditional bunkering define much of the character, and the greens present the sort of contour and speed expected at an established private club. The property benefits from mature landscaping that frames holes and provides a sense of enclosure and continuity.
Big Spring Country Club functions as a family-oriented private club, hosting member play, junior programs, and social events typical of Louisville's country club community. The club maintains facilities for dining and gatherings that complement the golf experience. While it does not carry the tournament profile of some Louisville-area clubs, Big Spring serves its membership with a well-maintained course that balances challenge and playability across a range of skill levels.
