about the Hurstbourne country club
Sitting on 211 acres on the east side of Louisville, Hurstbourne Country Club is member-owned and widely recognized as one of Kentucky’s preeminent private golf and country clubs. With a mindset to produce a family-friendly atmosphere and culture, Hurstbourne Country Club provides both its members and guests with a sense of home. Originally a small farmhouse built in 1854, the house was remodeled and expanded into a mansion in the 1920s before it and the surrounding land was established as Hurstbourne Country Club in 1966. Today, the 30,000-square-foot clubhouse has been named the most beautiful in the state of Kentucky by Architectural Digest, and is home to the Club’s renowned social events and dining experiences.
The only club in the city of Louisville with 27 holes of golf, Hurstbourne Country Club’s 18-hole Championship Course has been the third-ranked golf course in Kentucky each of the last eight years as well as the top-ranked member-owned golf course in Kentucky, per Golf Digest. The Championship Course has been the proud home of many championship events, including the Foster Brooks Pro-Celebrity Golf Tournament, Ryder Cup Captains Challenge, the Kentucky Open and US Open Local Qualifiers. Today, the 7,007-yard course, which was redesigned by Keith Foster and renovated in 2004, hosts more than 20,000 rounds annually with its zoysia grass fairways, bentgrass greens and recently renovated practice area.
Just to the right of the fairway on the first hole of the nine-hole Executive Golf Course is a gorgeous chapel wall that was originally part of a church in Europe.
