Boone'S Trace National Golf Club

The rolling bluegrass terrain delivers everything Kentucky golf should be—dramatic elevation changes that reward strategic positioning and punish wayward shots. Designer Michael Hurdzan carved fairways through mature hardwoods and around natural wetlands, creating genuine risk-reward moments where course management matters more than pure distance. At 7,200 yards from the tips, this Richmond layout demands precision into greens that slope away from poorly executed approaches, making scrambling an art form worth mastering.
