Barren River Lake State Resort Park is a water-lovers paradise
surrounded by forested, rolling hills.
The resort is located near
Kentucky’s famous cave area, which includes Mammoth Cave National Park,
the longest cave system in the world!
The course at Barren River Lake State Resort Park offers a
challenging test of golf in a relaxing setting. The course winds around
hills and through valleys near the shore of Barren River lake.
The
layout will test your course management skills. Accurate shots to well
chosen positions are a must. This is a course that you can't play just
once. But when you've finished #18, enjoy a fine dinner at the lodge,
and partake in the many other amenities of the park.
