Weissinger Hills Golf Course


About this course
Weissinger Hills Golf Course sits in Shelbyville, Kentucky, a small city roughly thirty miles east of Louisville in the Bluegrass region. The course was designed by Jack Ridge, a regional architect whose work appears primarily across Kentucky and neighboring states. The facility operates as a public golf course serving the Shelbyville community and visitors traveling through central Kentucky's rolling horse country. The property takes advantage of the natural topography characteristic of this part of Kentucky, where gentle hills and elevation changes create varied playing conditions. Courses in this region typically feature tree-lined fairways with hardwoods native to the area, and the terrain allows for both elevated tee shots and approach plays to greens set at different levels. The routing likely incorporates these natural contours to provide visual interest and strategic variety across the eighteen holes. As a municipal or daily-fee facility in a smaller Kentucky city, Weissinger Hills serves both local golfers and those exploring the state's golf offerings beyond the more prominent Louisville and Lexington markets. The course provides accessible golf in a region better known for thoroughbred farms and bourbon distilleries than for destination golf, fitting into the fabric of community recreation typical of public courses throughout the Commonwealth.

Getting there
# Getting There
Weissinger Hills Golf Course sits in the rolling bluegrass country of central Kentucky, roughly ninety minutes south of Louisville International Airport (SDF), the primary gateway for most visitors. The drive from Louisville traces a gentle descent through the heart of the Bluegrass Region, moving from interstate highways into quieter state roads that wind past white-fenced horse farms and limestone outcroppings characteristic of Shelbyville's pastoral landscape. Private aviation is well-served by Bowman Field (LOU) in Louisville, a historic general aviation hub positioned for a swift transfer to the club. The final miles unfold through the serene countryside surrounding Shelbyville, where the transition from thoroughbred country to the manicured grounds of Weissinger Hills marks the arrival at one of Kentucky's most understated and architecturally significant courses.
