The Genesis Invitational

Torrey Pines Golf Course (South Course)



    Heritage Hill Golf Club

    Shepherdsville, KY Public

    Overview

    This is perhaps the best public course in the Louisville area—any golfer headed to Kentucky for a bourbon tour needs to plan around Heritage Hill. Doug Beach, a former associate of Jack Nicklaus, utilized former farmland amongst the beautiful rolling terrain of Kentucky’s Knobs Region in creating this design, which earned a Best New Public designation from Golf Digest in 2008. The varied landscape includes towering trees as well as wide open prairies, and the golfer experiences them in waves throughout the round. Extensive elevation change creates scenic vistas, such as the dropshot par-3 11th hole. The undulating terrain also means you’ll need a cart—more than seven miles of cart path were used to traverse this layout, including a 200-plus-yard uphill climb to the 18th hole. An extensive bunker renovation for all greenside hazards was finished last fall, and the remaining bunkers will be updated in Fall 2024.
