Overview: Idle Hour Country Club occupies rolling parkland in Lexington, Kentucky, where Donald Ross's routing uses gentle elevation, mature trees and shaped greens to create a classic inland test. The course asks for disciplined positioning while retaining the broader movement associated with Ross's work.
History: The course is documented as a 1924 Donald Ross design, originally associated with the Ashland Country Club name. Idle Hour Country Club itself was founded later in 1946, so the course's design date and club history are distinct.
Did You Know? Idle Hour's holes carry the names of notable racehorses from the mid-1960s. The naming tradition connects the golf course to Lexington's surrounding horse-racing culture.
