Wild Turkey Trace


About this course
Wild Turkey Trace is a private golf course located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, in the heart of bourbon country in the central part of the state. The course was designed by Bob Etherington, a respected course architect known for work across the mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions. The layout takes advantage of the rolling terrain characteristic of the Kentucky Bluegrass region, incorporating the natural topography and landscape features of the site. The course routing reflects Etherington's design philosophy of working with existing landforms rather than against them. The setting blends manicured fairways with the wooded and pastoral character of the surrounding area, typical of courses built in rural Kentucky. The design likely emphasizes strategic shot-making and course management, with bunkering and green complexes that reward accuracy and thoughtful club selection. As a private facility in the Lawrenceburg area, Wild Turkey Trace serves the local golfing community and visitors to the region. The course name references the area's strong association with whiskey production and the Wild Turkey distillery, one of Kentucky's prominent bourbon producers. The membership and club culture reflect the traditions and character of a regional private club, with golf as the primary focus of the facility.
