Kearney Hill Golf Links

Lexington, KY — Kearney Hill Golf Links, designed by Brian Silva and opened in 1989, is a distinctive 18-hole, par-72 links-style course located in Lexington, Kentucky. Silva, known for his traditional design approach, crafted Kearney Hill to evoke the classic feel of Scottish and Irish links courses, a rarity in the American Midwest. The course features wide-open fairways, large, undulating greens, and strategically placed pot bunkers, all set against a backdrop of rolling bluegrass hills. The absence of trees on many holes emphasizes the links character, relying on wind and natural contours for challenge. While a specific signature hole is not prominently featured, the entire layout provides a strategic and authentic links experience. Kearney Hill's unique design and challenging conditions make it a highly regarded and enjoyable course for those seeking a taste of traditional links golf.
