Mineral Mounds State Park Golf Course


Mineral Mounds Golf

What a beautiful afternoon in the springtime in Kentucky.  A few days ago I mentioned a great golf course to play so today I thought I would share some information about it for all of you golfers out there.  I love the course for the views and its natural beauty.In 2009 Golf Digest magazine ranked the course #5 as the "Best Courses You Can Play."  Located on the shores of Lake Barkley and historically linked to the author F. Scott Fitzgerald the property was once the farm of Willis B. Machen, grandfather of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald the park now has a challenging 18-hole, par-72 golf course! The front 9 holes are situated in a wooded area and many of the back 9 holes are flanked by lake views. A pro shop offers rental carts, clubs and golf merchandise. The park also has a picnic area, a fishing pier and a boat ramp  Situated along the shores of Lake Barkley, Mineral Mound State Park Golf Course is a great place to spend the day and present a challenge to all level of players. The front 9 holes are situated in the native hills and forest area of historical Lyon County. The No. 4 hole offers long uphill shot making. The back 9 offers beautiful lake views with several holes flanked by water. The No. 11 plays over a lake inlet. The facility has a magnificent new golf shop that offers scenic views from atop a hill overlooking Lake Barkley. Public boat ramp and picnic areas are available to enjoy a day of relaxation and enjoyment.

May you enjoy peace until we meet again.
