Persimmon Ridge
The course at Persimmon Ridge is an Arthur Hills design that forms the sporting centrepiece of a residential development on the outskirts of Louisville. Renowned as a tough track locally, it has hosted the Kentucky Open several times since opening in 1989.
At the start of 2017, Persimmon Ridge merged with Polo Fields Golf & Country Club, located only three miles away, to offer a combined membership of around 1,000 golfers the use of two very different, but complementary, 18-hole courses.
The layout at Persimmon Ridge is well known as a championship-standard course, having hosted many local and regional tournaments since it was first unveiled in the late 1980s, while its new stablemate is acknowledged as a less demanding, more “player friendly” track.
