Fresh off the 2024 PGA Championship in May at Valhalla Golf Club and just in time to enjoy tee time this summer, Golfweek, USA TODAY’s golf magazine, ranked the best public-access and privately-owned golf courses in each state.
With each course, the magazine categorizes them as modern, meaning they were built in 1960 or after, or classic if they were built before 1960.
Here are the top rated public access and private golf courses in Kentucky:
