Kearney Hills Golf Links: The Back Nine

Kearney Hills Golf Links, Lexington, Fayette County

#12 is my favorite part of the course.  It's a pretty and challenging
par 3, and a great place to observe all sorts of wildlife.

Kearney Hills Golf Links: The Front Nine

Kearney Hills Golf Links, Lexington, Fayette County
Designed as a Scottish links-style course by Pete and P. B. Dye, Kearney Hills opened in 1989.
The Welcoming Committee.  This cat spends most of the day napping on the seats of the golf carts that are lined up
and waiting for players to use.  She probably won't move, so just choose a different cart.
Tee it up.













Kearney Hills is an Audubon Certified Sanctuary, and you'll see lots of birds and other wildlife enjoying
this beautiful course.





Try to avoid the numerous often deep bunkers.

You can see horses grazing on an adjacent farm along the entire back edge of the course.
