Lake Forest Country Club

Lake Forest Country Club in Louisville boasts a course steeped in local tradition, a place where generations of Kentucky golfers have honed their game. The course, a classic parkland design, unfolds across gently rolling terrain punctuated by mature trees, demanding strategic shot-making rather than brute force.

While not nationally renowned, Lake Forest holds a prominent place within the Louisville golfing community.
