Overview
Formerly known as The Cardinal Club, the University of Louisville Golf Club is an appealing, walkable layout in a pastoral setting sprawled along gentle mounds despite its location adjacent to a major interstate. Ponds, small lakes, and streams are used to create natural hazards and do not appear contrived or out of place. While most of the course is open, several holes are routed through woody areas and provide moments of solitary escape and tranquility before spilling out onto open land once again. Landing areas are fairly wide but thick rough, copious water, dense native grass areas and strategically placed overhanging trees will punish errant tee shots.

“Holes #4-7 and especially #13, 14 and 17 are remarkable works of aesthetic beauty, risk over taking reward opportunities and demand shot creation precision. The course provides reasonable bailout areas off tees and around greens."

“The Cardinal course is fairly open course east of Louisville with a gently rolling terrain. The difficulty is not severe. Conditions are quite good. The back side is more interesting than the front as hole 13 is a great risk reward par 5 and hole 14 is a very challenging, long par 4."

“The University of Louisville Golf Club is a special golf course. The work that has been done make it one of the best in Kentucky. The practice facility is truly great. It is big enough to work on all parts of your game. The course is over 7,000 yards and can be all you want from the back tees. The bent fairways and greens are very good. The humps and bumps in the fairways and greens make it wonderful and fun to play. Go and play it and you will experience something special."
