The Country Club of Paducah turned to Robert Trent Jones, Sr. when it set out to build a new golf course in the late 1970s. Jones, a figure credited with elevating course architecture into an art form, designed or remodeled some 400 courses across 45 states and 35 countries, many of which have hosted national and international championships. His design approach aimed to make each hole a difficult par but a manageable bogey, with subtly contoured greens, a range of pin placements, large tees offering varied setups, and careful attention to the natural landscape.
The Paducah layout plays to 7,014 yards from the back tees at a par of 72, with a course rating of 75.4 and a slope of 147. Zoysia tees and broad zoysia fairways lead to bentgrass greens shaped by 39 white sand bunkers, while six lakes come into play across the property.
The club is a non-equity, private operation, with the course open to members and to guests playing alongside them.
