About the Course: “This classic 1901 Tom Bendelow design recently underwent a full renovation project by Kentucky resident Kevin Hargrave, who has worked for designer Keith Foster. Hargrave completed a full bunker renovation, expanded fairway width and reclaimed green sizes. Irrigation work will continue into the winter on this old-school, parkland course widely regarded as one of Kentucky’s great gems.” –GolfDigest.com
