Frankfort Country Club
Kentucky
Located in Kentucky’s capital city, Frankfort Country Club is a traditional private country club with a well-regarded golf course and a strong Bluegrass Region setting. The club sits at 101 Duntreath Street in Frankfort, placing golfers close to downtown, the Kentucky River, bourbon distilleries and the wider Lexington–Louisville corridor.
The course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout designed by Scruggs & Hammond in 1973. Frankfort Country Club describes it as one of the best courses in Kentucky, with rolling hills, strong playing conditions and a layout that is friendly for a wide range of golfers thanks to its four tee boxes.
From the course tour, the back tees stretch to 6,595 yards, with the routing using elevation changes, doglegs, bunkers, creeks, out-of-bounds areas and protected greens to create a round where accuracy and course management matter. The 10th hole is the signature moment: a scenic par 3 with an 80-foot drop from tee to green, protected by a creek and bunkers.
Facilities include a practice range, large putting green, short-game area with practice bunker, full-service golf shop, club fitting, club repair and lessons from PGA professional staff. The club also offers dining, pool, fitness and racquet sports facilities, giving it a full country club feel beyond the course.
For UK golfers, Frankfort Country Club works well as part of a wider Kentucky golf itinerary, especially for trips built around Lexington, Louisville, bourbon country, horse country and scenic Bluegrass golf.

About The Area
Bardstown is a fantastic Kentucky golf holiday base for golfers who want easy-going golf, bourbon heritage and proper small-town Southern charm. Known as the Bourbon Capital of the World, Bardstown is surrounded by distilleries, historic streets and rolling countryside, making it a brilliant stop on a wider Kentucky golf tour. Visit Bardstown says there are 11 distilleries within 16 miles of Court Square, which gives the town huge appeal for groups who want memorable non-golf days built into the itinerary.
For golf, our main recommendation is Bardstown Country Club at Maywood, an 18-hole semi-private course in the heart of bourbon country. The course can play from around 4,600 yards to over 7,200 yards, so it suits a wide mix of handicaps, from relaxed holiday golfers to stronger players wanting a proper test. The layout blends traditional golf with links-style design features, giving the round more variety than a standard parkland course.
Away from the course, Bardstown is where the trip really comes alive. We would recommend booking distillery experiences, exploring the walkable downtown, visiting historic landmarks and adding My Old Kentucky Home State Park for a classic local stop. The state park offers mansion tours and sits right in Bardstown, making it easy to fit around golf.
Our tip: choose Bardstown if your group wants a Kentucky golf break with friendly golf, bourbon tastings, historic charm and a slower pace between rounds.
