THE UNIVERSITY CLUB<br />

The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> golf program enters its seventh season <strong>of</strong><br />

training at the <strong>University</strong> Club. The <strong>University</strong> Club is a membersonly<br />

club privately licensed by UK. The course is the <strong>of</strong>ficial home <strong>of</strong> the<br />

men’s and women’s golf teams and will be the host site for all <strong>of</strong> UK’s<br />

future <strong>tournament</strong>s.<br />

Internationally renowned golf course architect Arthur Hills designed<br />

the renovations to the 36-hole Championship course. The <strong>University</strong><br />

club features the Big Blue Course (72-par 7,013 yards) and the Wildcat<br />

Course (71-par, 6,680 yards). The courses are complemented by a dozen<br />

lakes and ponds, providing players with a beautiful and challenging<br />

round <strong>of</strong> golf.<br />

“This club is a great asset for the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong>,” Director <strong>of</strong><br />

Golf Operations Bettie Lou Evans said. “Having a facility like this that<br />

we can call our own should make a tremendous difference. The<br />

<strong>University</strong> Club will boost recruiting and allow us more practice time.<br />

Plus, we plan on expanding with an indoor facility in the future. All<br />

these things give our golfers great opportunities to succeed.”<br />

<strong>University</strong> Clubs are currently in place at other Southeastern<br />

Conference schools such as South Carolina, Auburn and Alabama.<br />

However, this club boasts many features that make it one <strong>of</strong> the premier<br />

<strong>University</strong> Clubs in the nation. Accompanying the beauty <strong>of</strong> the course<br />

are two state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art practice facilities for UK’s golf teams along with a<br />

grille, locker rooms and a fully stocked pro shop.<br />

The clubhouse is filled with UK memorabilia<br />

and contains private meeting rooms that serve to<br />

host a variety <strong>of</strong> <strong>University</strong> related conferences,<br />

events and meetings.<br />

The Club is located at 4850 Leestown Rd.,<br />

7.4 miles northwest <strong>of</strong> downtown Lexington<br />
