This course sits on the former site of Bunker Hunt's famous horse stables. The main cart path goes through the original horse farm that is still standing. This course opened in July of 1996, and since then has received a reputation for being one of the state's most beautiful and reasonable courses, as mentioned by many of its passing players. There are several small lakes and natural creeks that highlight this course. Hole #14, a 439-yard, par 4, has a small stream to the left side of the fairway, which then turns in front of the green. Accuracy is a must on this hole, especially when teeing off into the wind.

Great Course, Sep 20, 2005

reviewer: El Conquistador from Cincinnati

The last time I played it in August, 05, the course was in excellent shape. I played Griffin Gate the previous day and Houston Oaks was in much better shape. No negatives about this course. Priced fairly too.

Beautiful, Aug 20, 2004

reviewer: S. Murray from harrodsburg

A must! Everything is kept in marvelous condition. Hit the fairways with your drives and you will be rewarded. An hour from my house and I have played it several times. That should tell you something.

Best Value in Central Kentucky, May 08, 2004

reviewer: Ron from Lexington, Kentucky

Houston Oaks offers a good challenge and the best conditioning of any course in central Kentucky including the private courses. Many of the best known private courses have poa anna in their greens but the staff at Houston Oaks has figured out how to eliminate the problem. With 4 sets of tees the course can play at a lenght to suit anyone. When the rough gets thick the course can play as tough as you want.

" A golf course outside a big town serves an excellent purpose in that it segregates, as though a concentration camp, all the idle and idiot well-to-do. -- Osbert Sitwell "
