点评:For golfers that don’t mind a little drive, there are two Kentucky State Park courses that are close enough to make a quick, two-day trip; Wasioto Winds Golf Course at Pine Mountain State Resort Park and General Burnside Island Golf Course in Burnside Kentucky. The courses are less than two hours apart and if you include a stay at Cumberland Falls State Resort Park, your drive to each course is about an hour.
General Burnside Island State Park golf course is located on an island surrounded by Lake Cumberland in Somerset, KY. Brian Ault, who designed two other Kentucky State Park golf courses - Dale Hollow and Hidden Cove - also designed this spectacular waterfront layout. General Burnside Island Golf Course was recognized by Kentucky Living Magazine in 2016 with a First Place Award for golf courses.
Although the course is situated on an island, the water that surrounds it does not come into play, although it does make for some amazing views! Three of the par 3s are worth mentioning. From Tee 2, the 5th hole plays 185 yards into an offset green with sand in the front right. The 14th hole is one of the signature holes; it plays 172, straight downhill into a tear-shaped green with a bunker front right. The only true water hazard on the course is the pond on the par 3, 16th hole. It plays 172 yards from Tee 2, slightly downhill with water and a beautiful rock wall to the right of the green.
Because the course is landlocked, it’s comparatively short with only one par 4 over 400 yards from the back tees, so longball hitters may be inclined to try and drive a few of the greens. Head Golf Professional Steve Lutz has some profound putting advice; “Because the course is located on an island, all putts break toward the water!”
Both of these courses are currently undergoing bunker renovations and are in the process of switching over to “Better Billy Bunker,” the best-draining bunker system in the golf industry. It may take a while for the installation to be complete but it’s well worth the wait.
For golfers that plan on playing multiple rounds of golf over the year at the Kentucky State Parks, you may want to consider purchasing a Trail Card which gives you access to many courses across the state within the Nation’s Finest Park System. A lot of these courses have been recognized nationally by Golf Digest. The Trail Card can be purchased at any of the Kentucky State Park courses.

General Burnside Island State Park 高尔夫球场位于肯塔基州萨默塞特的一个被坎伯兰湖环绕的岛屿上。 Brian Ault 设计了另外两个肯塔基州立公园高尔夫球场 - Dale Hollow 和 Hidden Cove - 也设计了这个壮观的海滨布局。 General Burnside Island 高尔夫球场在 2016 年被肯塔基生活杂志评为高尔夫球场第一名。
虽然球场位于一个岛上,但它周围的水并没有发挥作用,尽管它确实创造了一些令人惊叹的景色!其中三个三杆洞值得一提。从 2 号发球台开始,第 5 洞打出 185 码,进入右前方有沙子的偏心果岭。第14洞是标志性的洞之一;它打出 172 号球,直接下坡进入泪珠形果岭,右前方有一个沙坑。球场上唯一真正的水障碍是第 3 杆第 16 洞的池塘。它距离 2 号发球台 172 码,略微下坡,有水,果岭右侧有一堵美丽的岩壁。
因为球场地处内陆,所以它相对较短,距离后方发球台 400 码只有一个四杆洞,因此长球击球手可能倾向于尝试开出一些果岭。首席高尔夫专家 Steve Lutz 有一些深刻的推杆建议; “因为球场位于一个岛上,所以所有的推杆都朝向水面!”
这两个球场目前都在进行沙坑翻新,并正在切换到“Better Billy Bunker”,这是高尔夫行业排水最好的沙坑系统。安装完成可能需要一段时间,但值得等待。
对于计划在一年内在肯塔基州立公园打多轮高尔夫球的高尔夫球手,您可能需要考虑购买一张 Trail Card,它可以让您进入全州最好的公园系统内的许多球场。许多这些课程已被 Golf Digest 全国认可。 Trail Card 可在肯塔基州立公园的任何课程中购买。
