Golf Digest has announced its annual list of the top 100 golf courses in the United States for 2017-2018, as well as course rankings for each state. The top four courses in Kentucky remained unchanged from the 2016-2017 season, with the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville taking top honors once again. Revered for its Jack Nicklaus design, Valhalla is followed on the list by: the Club at Olde Stone in Bowling Green, Louisville’s championship course at Hurstbourne Country Club, Big Spring Country Club (also in Louisville), and Triple Crown Country Club in Union.

Louisville’s fourth representative in the top 10, the Persimmon Ridge Golf Club, was a new entry on the list, joined by the University of Louisville (UofL) Golf Club in Simpsonville, another first-time entry. Persimmon Ridge and the UofL Golf Clubs ranked No. 6 and No. 7, respectively. The newly ranked courses pushed Champion Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville out of the top 5 to No. 8. The top 10 was rounded out by Mount Sterling’s Old Silo Golf Club and the course at Dale Hollow Lake State Park in Burkesville.
