Getting there

The drive south from the airport carries you through the heart of Kentucky's thoroughbred country, past white-fenced paddocks and limestone estates that define the region's pastoral character, before the landscape opens into the gently undulating terrain where Meadowbrook's manicured fairways emerge. For those arriving by private aircraft, Lexington's general aviation facilities provide convenient access to this quintessentially Bluegrass destination. The final miles unfold along quiet country roads, a graceful transition from the urban periphery into the serene, well-appointed grounds of a course that has long anchored Lexington's golf tradition.
