About this course

Triple Crown Country Club sits in Union, Kentucky, a suburban community in the northern part of the state near Cincinnati. The course was designed by Gene Bates and Barry Serafin, architects known for their work across the Midwest and Southeast during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Bates in particular has designed numerous daily-fee and semi-private facilities that balance playability with strategic interest for a range of skill levels. The routing takes advantage of the rolling terrain characteristic of the northern Kentucky landscape, where elevation changes and natural contours provide variety in stance and shot selection. The design incorporates wooded corridors and open meadow areas, creating a mix of hole characters that require both accuracy and course management. Water features appear on several holes, adding visual definition and strategic consequence to approach shots and layup decisions. Triple Crown serves as a semi-private facility, offering both member play and public access. The club provides a full range of amenities typical of modern country club operations in the region, including practice facilities and dining options. The course hosts local tournaments and outings, functioning as a community golf hub in the greater Cincinnati area. Its design reflects the practical considerations of courses built to serve both dedicated members and visiting golfers, with a layout that rewards thoughtful play without imposing excessive penal demands on recreational players.

Getting there

Triple Crown Country Club sits in the northern Kentucky countryside, a straightforward forty-minute drive south from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport across the Ohio River. The route traces Interstate 71 through gently rolling farmland before peeling off into the quieter roads of Boone County, where horse pastures and white-rail fencing hint at the Bluegrass heritage just beyond the urban fringe. The final approach into Union trades suburban sprawl for open terrain, delivering guests to a club that feels purposefully removed yet remains comfortably within reach of the city's commercial pulse.
