Louisville Golf

[keb]

I have meeting in Louisville and am considering extending stay in order to get in a round of golf on March 4. Anyone from Louisville, course recommendations? Thanks.

I went to college at the University of Louisville, but it was thirty years ago. I'm not sure if this is what you would call "timely" information.

That said, most of the city-owned parks used to have golf courses in them. Reasonably priced, decent lay-outs. Cherokee Park was my favorite, with Iriquois Park a close second.

Heritage Hill and Nevel Meade are two of our better public tracks.

I've been thinking about taking a ride down there. Looking at the weather it looks like you guys are about 5 degrees warmer than we are here in Dayton. We can't play because all that damn snow refuses to melt. Are the courses in Louisville still snow covered? If not, I think I'll buzz down there and play a round at Nevel Meade.

Don't know what you want to spend, but I'd recommend trying to get on Valhalla. Awesome, awesome course.

If you're looking for cheap, public, city course, Charlie Vettiner is a great layout and usually in the best shape of any city course I've played on. Very challenging.

If you want to spend a little money, and drive a little, across the river in Indiana are two great Fuzzy Zoeller courses, Champions Pointe and Covered Bridge. Covered is a links style course. Both are $45 dollars for off season rates (cart included). Both of those courses are about the same distance/drive time as Nevel is from downtown, roughly 15 minutes.

Nevel and Heritage Hill are very nice. In south Louisville there is a 27 hole layout, Quail Chase that is another nice public course. Usually in rough shape this time of year, though.

Sorry, probably more information than you needed. Good luck with weather; I think next Thursday and Friday are supposed to reach the low 50's but it looks like rain may be in the picture. Which means it should be sunny!

I got to this thread too late but Heritage Hills is great right now(played there last week).....Quail Chase is OK too (played today)
