Lexington Country Club

This 1913 Tom Bendelow design is set in the quiet horse country northeast of Lexington, with holes that move back and forth across a bucolic property. Architect and Kentucky resident Kevin Hargrave, who lives 20 minutes away and previously worked for designer Keith Foster, has been consulting with the club for over a decade and recently completed a long-range master plan. The renovation included the installation of new irrigation, the removal of approximately 200 trees and widened fairways. Hargrave expanded putting surfaces and rebuilt five greens, and also shifted and rebuilt each bunker. The creek that runs through holes 12 and 14 was also fortified and refurbished to prevent crawdads from burrowing into the banks.
