General Butler State Resort Park
This 9-hole course is located in Carrollton in northern Kentucky at General Butler State Resort Park, within easy reach from Louisville, KY or Cincinnati, OH.
This well-maintained course is very hilly so be prepared for some extra exercise if you are walking. The greens are in perfect shape year round. They are flat and very fast, and the rough is deep in certain areas. The most demanding hole is #8, a 330-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot from a ridge onto the fairway below, and then an approach shot onto a 5,400 square-foot green with plenty of contour. There is an additional set of men's tees that can be used when playing an eighteen-hole round.
