This course is a certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, dressed-up with considerable amounts of sand and water, including ponds on 5, 14, and 18.

This course features rolling hills and zoysia fairways leading to bent grass greens, and has been rated the 7th-most challenging course in Kentucky. But as with MetroParks' other courses, orange tees are specially provided for juniors and beginners.

Charlie Vettiner Park (attached) also features a fishing lake, fitness course, hiking trails, and a playground. Don't be surprised to see a few hand-launched gliders in the park; the Louisville Area Soaring Society is based there.
