About this course

Peninsula Golf Resort, carved into the rolling Kentucky landscape near Lancaster, is where bluegrass tradition meets modern golf ambition. The course, while not widely known nationally, holds a devoted local following, its challenging layout a talking point among Central Kentucky golfers. The course, a modern design that meanders through the region's characteristic undulating terrain, presents a strategic test. Narrow fairways punish wayward drives, and strategically placed water hazards demand calculated risk-taking on several holes. A slight draw off the tee will serve the golfer well. While Peninsula Golf Resort has not hosted national championships, it is the site of several significant regional amateur events and the setting for countless club championships that are fiercely contested. The nineteenth hole is known for its warm welcomes and hearty fare – a fitting end to a round in the heart of Kentucky.

Getting there

The journey to Peninsula Golf Resort begins at Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, roughly forty-five minutes north through the gently rolling terrain of central Kentucky's Bluegrass Region. The drive south along US-27 traces the outer edge of horse country before descending into the quieter, more wooded landscape surrounding Herrington Lake, one of the deepest man-made reservoirs in the state. As the road narrows and curves closer to the water, the transition is unmistakable - pavement gives way to glimpses of shimmering coves and limestone bluffs, signaling arrival at this secluded lakeside retreat tucked into the Palisades.
