About Kearney Hill Links

Kearney Hill Links is one of Lexington's most distinctive public golf offerings — a true links-style course built on the gently rolling terrain of northern Fayette County near the Kentucky Horse Park. Designed to emulate the exposed, windswept character of Scottish and Irish seaside links courses, Kearney Hill features wide, rolling fairways, minimal trees, strategic bunker complexes, and firm, fast greens that demand a versatile ground game. Wind is a genuine factor at Kearney Hill, shifting the challenge dramatically from one round to the next. The course serves as Lexington's best opportunity to experience links-style golf without leaving the Bluegrass, and it attracts golf aficionados who appreciate strategic variety over pure length. The Kentucky Horse Park proximity adds a scenic Thoroughbred country backdrop, with horse farms visible from multiple holes. Kearney Hill represents a legitimate alternative to Lexington's more wooded parkland courses, rewarding players who can work the ball both low and high.

History

Kearney Hill Links was designed and built in the early 1990s as Lexington's answer to the growing demand for links-style public golf in the American market. The course was deliberately sited on open, rolling terrain near the Kentucky Horse Park to maximize wind exposure and links character. It has since earned a devoted following among Lexington's more adventurous golfers who appreciate its strategic demands over traditional wooded parkland layouts.

Lexington-area golfers who want a links-style strategic challenge and appreciate wind-influenced play on a genuinely different course from the region's parkland offerings.
