Getting there
The Woodford Club sits in the heart of Kentucky's bluegrass country, most readily accessed via Lexington's Blue Grass Airport (LEX), roughly thirty minutes north by car through rolling pastureland and white-fenced thoroughbred farms that define the region's character. For those arriving by private aircraft, Lexington's Bluegrass Airport also accommodates business jets, though the smaller Versailles-Woodford County Airport lies even closer to the club grounds. The drive from LEX traces gently southward through Lexington proper before opening onto the quiet, tree-lined roads of Woodford County, where the landscape shifts from urban edges to the serene vistas of horse country - a fitting prelude to one of America's most storied private clubs, steeped in bourbon heritage and equestrian tradition.
