Lassing Pointe is a fun public track down in Kentucky that I always enjoy getting out to, but it definitely sees a ton of play — and you can tell. The layout has a few really fun holes mixed in with some that are just okay, so it’s a bit of a mixed bag overall.

Great conditions and range was super solid. Hospitality was decent but nothing crazy. The course itself is super solid. Lots of opportunities to score if you are accurate off the tee. Just being in the fairway isn’t enough.

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Florence, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
