Overview
For a great stay-and-play option right in Lexington, the Marriott Griffin Gate Golf Resort and Spa is a great hub to set up your trip. The resort recently completed a $30-million renovation, and a few years ago Rees Jones returned to oversee a major bunker renovation project. The course has hosted a senior tour event in the past when Arnold Palmer competed here. Though a round here is probably among the most expensive in the state, the convenience of being right next to downtown is tough to beat.

“This course has a bland layout and has homes too close to several holes. I would not recommend this course to anyone other than beginners."

Review
“This course at one time hosted a PGA Senior golf tournament. Griffin Gate is a well-maintained, solid golf course. The greens are fast, yet very receptive. The fairways are nice and fun to play off of. The course is a resort course that is designed to not kill you. The par 4s are not too hard and the par 5s are scoreable. If you are staying in Lexington, this is a good place to play."
