About Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park

The 72-room lodge of the Kentucky Dam Village State Park overlooks the historic Kentucky Dam, where Kentucky Lake meets the Tennessee River. But it's the Village Green Inn that attracts golfers being adjacent to the 6,700-yard golf course. Sixty one cottages and camping are also available. 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.

The dam

Greens need to be cut a little slow but overall a great course. Always enjoy this one!

Great course. Don't miss it

Really good shape. Greens just right for amateur play. Follows ther lay of the land for interesting layout and challenges. Course knowledge may gain a couple of strokes. Going back next week.

Worth the drive from other end of LBL.

This was unexpected from a State Park and staff was very nicer Thank goodness it's like playing golf again with ball washers and no cup limiters and WATER to drink on thr course.

Spring

Nice State Course with rolling hills. Greens were true, but a little slow. Course drained well after 12 hours of rain the day before.

3 hr round, thumbs up

my friend and I are quick players. the starter was gracious enough to let us go off the back and at the turn we got to get ahead of a group of guys on vacation. everyone was very hospitable and easy going. course will be in great shape shortly. needs some warmer weather. a couple of holes were wet but expected with recent rains. great hot dogs and beer only. local cabins would be a great value as well but didn’t get to check them out. overall great experience and will definitely be back

Greens

The greens had been recently aerated and I did not know beforehand. Other than that the course was in good shape.

Beautiful resort course, great layout, challenging

I picked a beautiful fall day to play this resort golf course. The greens had been aerated weeks before the day I played but did not interfere with the rolling of the ball on the greens. Beautiful greens. The day I played the greens were rolling a bit slower than usual but I did not mind. I made the adjustment and I played on. The course maintenance crew was out blowing the leaving off the fairways. If one's ball missed badly to the left or right of the fairway into the trees, the leaves made it hard to find one's ball.

Fun fall golf!

It was misty and cool in the beginning. Rain quit so just cool. Course is in good condition. Because of the wind, there were lots of leaves on the fairway. It was easy to lose your ball in the fairway in places where there were lots of trees. Beautiful course!
