Located in the heart of Kentucky’s bourbon country, Bardstown Country Club at Maywood is an 18-hole golf venue with a welcoming Southern feel and a strong setting for travellers building a golf-and-bourbon itinerary. Set in Bardstown, the course gives visiting golfers easy access to one of Kentucky’s most characterful small-town destinations, with historic streets, distilleries, restaurants and Bluegrass scenery all close by.

The Maywood course is designed to suit a wide range of players, with tee options stretching from around 4,600 yards to more than 7,200 yards. That makes it useful for mixed-ability groups, while still offering stronger golfers a proper championship-length test from the back tees. The club describes the layout as a blend of traditional golf with links-style design features, giving the round a varied feel rather than a straightforward parkland test.

The course features bentgrass greens and Riviera bermudagrass fairways, with local course information noting that it originally opened in 1995 and later underwent a major renovation under Spencer Holt. It is a good fit for golfers who enjoy generous Kentucky landscapes but still want to think carefully about angles, approach shots and course management.

Away from the fairways, The Grill at Maywood is open to the public seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a sports bar-style lounge and full-service bar.

For UK golfers, Bardstown Country Club at Maywood works especially well as part of a wider Kentucky golf holiday, combining golf with bourbon distilleries, historic downtown Bardstown and easy access from Louisville.
