Calvert City Golf & Country Club received national recognition after being ranked among the Top 25 Value Golf Courses in the United States in the Golfers’ Choice 2026 rankings by GolfPass and Golf Advisor.
The course was ranked No. 2 in the nation for value, with typical green fees ranging from $45 to $55. The rankings are based on reviews submitted by golfers across the country who evaluated courses on value, conditions, customer service, and overall experience. To be eligible for the Golfers’ Choice rankings, each course must receive at least 10 reviews during the year.
The recognition comes at a time when rising green fees are a growing concern for many golfers, especially older players and those on fixed incomes. While some courses across the country are becoming increasingly expensive, GolfPass reviewers highlighted several courses that continue to deliver a high-quality experience at a reasonable price.
The Calvert City course stood out to golfers who said the experience offers far more than the price suggests.
One reviewer on GolfPass wrote, “Well-maintained, interesting layout. This course, as part of the country club, has very nice facilities. The people there are great, and all the equipment works well. The course has several wide open holes, drive it straight and GIR. Others are very interesting doglegs and long. I enjoyed the round and will play here again.”
In addition to its No. 2 value ranking, the course has also received national attention in other categories. Golf Advisor ranked the course No. 9 in the United States for course conditions and No. 16 among the friendliest golf courses in America.
Calvert City Golf & Country Club has been a staple of the region’s golf community for more than five decades. The Harold-England-designed course opened in the spring of 1970 and remains one of Western Kentucky’s premier golf destinations.
The 18-hole, par 72 course stretches 6,679 yards from the back tees and 3,574 yards from the front tees. The layout features MiniVerde Ultra Dwarf Bermuda grass greens and lush El Toro Zoysia fairways, providing a consistent and well-maintained playing surface.
Golfers encounter five teeing areas, strategically placed sand bunkers, and lakes that come into play on several holes. A natural creek winds through seven holes, adding both challenge and scenic beauty while offering views of wetlands wildlife that call the course home.
Club President Tammie Smith said the national recognition is a proud moment for both the club and the community.
“This recognition means a lot to everyone who works hard to keep our course in great shape,” Smith said. “For a small town like Calvert City to be known across the country for having a nationally recognized golf course is something we are incredibly proud of. It speaks to the dedication of our staff, our members, and the community that supports this course.”
With its combination of affordability, excellent conditions, and welcoming atmosphere, Calvert City Golf & Country Club continues to attract golfers from across the region and beyond who are looking for a round that truly delivers more than expected.
