Hunting Creek Country Club Prospect, Kentucky

There are country clubs, and then there are clubs that are also communities where families gather, and friendships abound. Since 1964, Hunting Creek Country Club has been known for its congenial spirit as well as its gorgeous golf course, nestled among the rolling hills of historic Prospect, Kentucky, just outside Louisville.

Our club is home to an 18-hole championship golf course, full-service clubhouse, racquets, aquatics, and dining amenities. More than anything, Hunting Creek is a place where friendships are made, families connect, and memories are created.
