Kearney Hill Golf Links
Lexington, KY, United States • Public
Overview
The father-son duo of Pete and PB Dye designed Kearney Hill Golf Links, which plays true to its name as a Scottish links-style course. South African (and future Players champion) Tim Clark won the 1997 U.S. Amateur Public Links at Kearney Hill. Ten years later in 2007, future U.S. Solheim Cup team member Mina Harigae took home the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links title at this Lexington muny. With weekday rates under $30, it’s an affordable way to play a Dye-designed championship course.

“Links style course in central Kentucky. Nice variety of holes. Conditioning of the bunkers was poor when I played it."

“I played Kearney Hill not knowing what to expect but came away very impressed. At a great price, this public Lexington Dye design features strong variety and some beautiful holes on the rolling terrain. I highly recommend this course to those in the area."

Review
“Kearney Hill is a great place to play golf. It is designed by the Dye family and many of the holes display the features of other special Dye courses around the country. You will see railroad ties, demanding par threes, and plenty of opportunities to make birdies. The best thing about golfing in Kentucky and Kearney Hill is the affordability of the golf. You will experience great golf at an affordable price accompanied by the southern hospitality of Lexington, Kentucky."
