Kearney Hills Golf Links

Overview: Kearney Hill Golf Links is a public City of Lexington course designed by Pete Dye and his son, P.B. Dye. The layout has a links-style character, with open playing corridors and a design that makes wind, angles and the position of the ball more important than a purely tree-lined parkland round. At roughly 7,000 yards and par 72, it has championship scale while remaining part of Lexington's municipal golf system. Its strongest identity is strategic: the best route around a hole is often determined before the approach, not after it.

History: Kearney Hill opened in 1989 and quickly became one of Kentucky's recognised public layouts. The course has hosted major state and amateur events, including Kentucky Open competition and the Kentucky Amateur. The City of Lexington continues to operate the course and describes it as one of the state's top ten layouts, while Golf House Kentucky has repeatedly used the venue for important qualifying and championship play.

Did You Know? Kearney Hill appears in P.B. Dye's own project list as a 1989 design by Pete and P.B. Dye. That father-and-son credit is central to the course's identity: it is not merely a course associated with the Dye name, but one documented by the younger Dye's own design portfolio.
