The Boone's Trace National Golf Club

The Bull at Boone's Trace isn’t just a golf course; it's an embodiment of Kentucky’s rolling landscape and a challenging test born from the vision of Arthur Hills. Carved into the gently undulating terrain of Richmond, Kentucky, this modern course plays longer than its yardage might suggest, with subtle elevation changes and strategically placed bunkers demanding thoughtful club selection and risk assessment. Its bentgrass greens, true and fast, are framed by native grasses and fescue, creating a visually striking experience that often favors the strategic player over pure power. While not a major championship venue, The Bull holds a prominent place in the region’s golfing community. It has hosted the Kentucky Open. The membership comprises serious golfers who appreciate a well-maintained course and a convivial atmosphere, all framed by the natural beauty of the Bluegrass region. Beyond the course, The Bull is known for its social gatherings and relaxed atmosphere. The clubhouse bar, affectionately known as "The 19th Hole," offers a selection of Kentucky bourbons and local beers, often accompanied by lively post-round discussions. Local lore suggests the club’s signature burger, topped with pimento cheese, is the perfect way to cap off a challenging day on the links.
