Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park is surrounded by perhaps the most beautiful woods in western Kentucky. Located near the Land Between the Lakes Natural Recreation Area, it is a fabulous course in the heart of one of the South’s natual jewels. Named for the tiny Pennyroyal plan found in the area, the park is the perfect back-to-nature hideaway in the midst of a secluded, lush forest.
Pennyrile Forest State Park Golf Course became afull 18-hole course in 2003. This rural course lies at the bottom of a small valley surrounded by rolling hills. The course is flat with a creek running through the middle and water comes into play on every hole of the front nine. The new nine plays over gently rolling hills and through a pine forest. The greens are soft and will hold a shot. The rough along the fairways is deep so stay on the fairway if you want to keep your score down. Hole #3, a 499-yard, par 5, requires a tee shot from a narrow chute with woods on the left side and the creek on the right. The fairway slopes toward the water hazard so hitting your tee shot straight is a necessity. Another creek must be crossed before you reach the green, which is severely slope.All of this and more make Pennyrile Forest State Resort a one-of-a-kind getaway for the whole family. Let nature refresh and renew your senses as the backdrop for your favorite pastimes.
