Bardstown Country Club

Bardstown Country Club's Maywood course sits in the rolling countryside of central Kentucky, approximately 40 miles south of Louisville in the historic bourbon country region. The course was designed by David Pfaff and Spencer Holt, architects who have worked on various projects across the Midwest and Southeast. The layout takes advantage of the natural topography characteristic of this part of Kentucky, where gentle elevation changes and mature hardwood trees shape the playing corridors. The design reflects a traditional parkland style suited to the region's landscape, with tree-lined fairways and greens that incorporate the area's natural contours. Bardstown itself is known as the "Bourbon Capital of the World" due to its concentration of distilleries, and the club serves as a recreational and social center for this small Kentucky community. The course provides a setting where local members and visitors can experience golf in a relaxed, community-oriented atmosphere typical of country clubs in smaller American towns. The club's location in Bardstown places it within the broader context of Kentucky golf, where courses often blend into agricultural and wooded landscapes. While not a tournament venue on the national stage, Maywood serves its membership and reflects the regional approach to golf course design that emphasizes playability and integration with the surrounding environment rather than championship length or severe hazards.
