Kearney Hill Links

The course is operated by the city of Lexington, but is not your typical muni. It was designed by Pete and P B Dye in 1989 as a links style course, except for the water and rolling terrain nature of the land it does feel linksy. The greens are very large, and typical of the Dyes, have severe undulations. There's a good amount of bunkers, pot and otherwise, and it plays tough for its 128 slope rating from the back tees. The course routing is open rolling fairways with very few trees. The wind is a big factor in playing the course. It has hosted a number of major PGA tour and USGA events, and is a very well regarded course nationally. The course has 70+ sand bunkers, and a number of the greens are set in natural amphitheater type settings. It's bentgrass tee to green, and kept in very good condition, and fun to play.
