Kentucky is known for its bourbon and horse racing, but it also has a hidden gem in its golf courses. While not traditionally thought of as a golf destination, Kentucky has some top-ranked courses that are open to the public. Combining a round of golf with a bourbon tour is a fantastic way to experience the best of what the state has to offer, especially when adding in a football game at the University of Kentucky or University of Louisville and a visit to Keeneland for horse racing.

One of the top courses in Kentucky is Valhalla Golf Club, where the PGA Championship is being held this week. In addition to Valhalla, there are many other quality courses throughout the state that offer a great value for golfers. The proximity of these courses to Kentucky’s legendary bourbon distilleries makes for a perfect golf getaway.

If you are looking to plan a trip that combines golf and bourbon tasting, here are some recommended distilleries to visit along with the courses to play nearby. Starting from Louisville and heading east towards Lexington, you can visit Angel’s Envy Distillery, Bulleit Distilling Co., Heaven’s Door Distillery, Buffalo Trace Distillery, James E. Pepper Distillery, Woodford Reserve Distillery, Four Roses Distillery, Maker’s Mark Distillery, Willett Distillery, Heaven Hill Distillery, James B. Beam Distillery, Stitzel-Weller Distillery, and Michter’s Distillery.

Each of these distilleries offers a unique experience and a chance to sample some of Kentucky’s finest bourbons. Pairing a bourbon tour with a round of golf at a nearby course creates an unforgettable trip that showcases the best of what the Bluegrass State has to offer. Whether you are a bourbon aficionado, a golf enthusiast, or just looking for a memorable vacation, Kentucky has something for everyone.

In the fall, you can also catch a football game at one of the state’s universities and visit Keeneland for a day at the races. The combination of golf, bourbon, football, and horse racing makes for a full itinerary that highlights the diverse attractions in Kentucky. Whether you are a solo traveler, a couple, or a group of friends, there is something for everyone in the Bluegrass State.

Overall, Kentucky may not be the first place that comes to mind when planning a golf vacation, but it offers a unique blend of golf courses, bourbon distilleries, and cultural attractions that make for a one-of-a-kind experience. Whether you are looking to relax on the links, sample some of the best bourbon in the world, or immerse yourself in Kentucky’s rich history, a trip to the Bluegrass State has something for everyone. Consider adding Kentucky to your list of golf destinations and experience the beauty and charm of this underrated golfing paradise.
