About Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park

Boating is a popular pursuit with a marina and rentals for fishing boats, pontoon boats and ski boats. Hiking, swimming at a beach or outdoor pool and eagle watching (200 nesting pairs call the area home) are available. The Harbor Lights Restaurant and Harbor Lights Lounge keep guests fed.

PACE: As a 2some, once we caught a 4some they let us play thru... thank you! This course has some difficulty, so I can see it slowing down if the tee sheet is full.

CONDITIONS: It rained the night before and the morning of, and the course was still in excellent conditions. Tees, greens, fairways, and bunkers all in top shape. Greens had some ball mark spots, but that's on the golfers (repair your marks!).

STAFF: Friendly and helpful.

VALUE: Top notch course at a reasonable rate.

LAYOUT: Plenty of elevation changes. A good challenge to walk. Good collection of par 3s and par 5s. Most of the holes are tree lines, but the fairways/rough seemed wider than they appeared. Lots of fun to be had here!

Course is in great shape

Course is in great shape and staff is very friendly. Staff works hard to keep the course in unbelievable shape especially with the recent heat. Greens roll great and are challenging. Fairways are unreal with barely any brown spots.

Staff is rude

I walked in the pro shop to check in where I was told that since I booked through the app I HAD to join the 2 men waiting on the first tee box. That is something I am not comfortable with so beware of that.
