GlenOaks Country Club
Kentucky
Located in Prospect, just north east of Louisville, GlenOaks Country Club is a semi-private golf and country club that works well for golfers staying in or around the Louisville area. The club allows limited public play alongside membership use, giving visiting golfers the chance to experience a local Kentucky club setting without travelling too far from the city.
The course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout with official scorecard yardages ranging from 4,960 yards to 6,446 yards, depending on tee choice. That makes it a flexible option for mixed-ability groups, with enough length from the back tees to keep stronger players engaged while remaining manageable from forward tees.
GlenOaks has a mature country club feel, with fairways framed by residential surroundings, tree-lined sections and enough shape to reward steady course management. It is not a huge championship resort course, but that is part of its appeal: it offers a friendly, local golf experience within easy reach of Louisville’s hotels, restaurants and attractions. Golf course directories list the course as originally opened in 1993 and designed by John Addington.
Away from the course, members and guests can make use of country club facilities including dining and a swimming pool, giving GlenOaks a relaxed social atmosphere after the round.
For UK golfers, GlenOaks is best suited as part of a Kentucky or Louisville golf itinerary, particularly for travellers combining golf with bourbon experiences, the Kentucky Derby, downtown Louisville, the Ohio River and nearby courses across the region.

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.
