Nestled in the gently rolling hills of western Shelby County, Kentucky, Persimmon Ridge lures the golfer into a false sense of security. The course is all you want to tackle from the back tees, measuring 7,113 yards, or extremely accommodating from any one of four additional sets of tees. The holes are not extremely long by today's standards, but several are guarded by well placed pot and sand bunkers, water hazards or natural areas. Premiums are placed on accuracy and approach shots to the greens. But getting to the green is only half the game. Natural undulations and harrowing angles provide a variety of challenging cup placements.

Arthur Hills describes Persimmon Ridge as 'a strong and challenging course...and may be one of the best golf courses I've built.'
