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 />

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