Greenbrier Golf & Country Club
Kentucky
Located on Bahama Road in Lexington, Greenbrier Golf & Country Club is a private golf and country club in Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region. The club offers a peaceful setting just minutes from the Hamburg area, giving golfers a quieter country club feel while still staying close to Lexington’s hotels, restaurants and wider city attractions.
The main golf course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout measuring around 6,754 yards from the back tees. Course listings note a slope rating of 133–134, so while Greenbrier is not the longest course in Kentucky, it still offers a solid test for regular golfers. Tree-lined sections, water features, bunkering and a mature club setting make it a good option for players who enjoy traditional American country club golf with an emphasis on accuracy and steady course management.
Greenbrier is particularly useful for golfers building a Lexington itinerary. The club’s facilities include casual and fine dining, a renovated clubhouse, swimming, fitness facilities, outdoor patio areas, practice facilities, four Trackman simulators, a PuttView putting green and a 19-acre fishing lake. That gives it strong appeal beyond the course, especially for members, guests and groups looking for a social club atmosphere around the golf.
For UK golfers, Greenbrier is best suited as part of a wider Kentucky golf holiday based around Lexington or Louisville. Lexington adds plenty away from the fairways, including horse country, bourbon distilleries, farm-to-table dining and Bluegrass scenery, making it a strong destination for travellers who want golf mixed with proper Kentucky character.

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.
