University Club of Kentucky

Wildcat at University Club of Kentucky is steeped in collegiate golf history, a place where future stars first tasted competitive pressure. This Arthur Hills design, carved from the rolling bluegrass of Lexington, possesses a distinctly modern feel, favoring length and strategic bunkering over the severe contours of older layouts. The wide fairways, however, belie a course that demands thoughtful shot placement into its large, undulating greens. A slight fade is often rewarded. Hills's design philosophy is evident throughout, with strategically placed water hazards and native grasses adding both beauty and challenge. While not a regular stop for major professional tournaments, Wildcat has been a frequent host for high-level collegiate events, serving as a proving ground for rising talent. The club's atmosphere reflects its strong ties to the University of Kentucky, fostering a competitive yet welcoming environment. Beyond the course, the clubhouse is known for its pre and post-round camaraderie and the perfect location to watch the Kentucky Wildcats play basketball.
