Worth it to play both golf courses. The 9th hole out here is one of the best golf holes in the state of KY. Just doesn’t fit the course at all. Make sure to play the par 3 course at Keene Run. Super fun.

The course is in incredible shape, has a super fun layout that crisscrosses throughout the property, and some seriously thick rough. They went through a renovation 2–3 years ago, and wow, what a difference. One of my favorite details is how holes 9 and 18 share a fairway…

Really good design (no surprise given it’s a Dye design). The facilities are run down. The clubhouse needs major renovations. The course was in good shape, though.

Fun track, but conditions are always a shot in the dark. Definitely prefer the back nine, especially holes 14-16.

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. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope 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 Lexington, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
