Golf takes a back seat to horseracing
in Kentucky, as does most everything else, actually.
But the two sports have certain commonalities: Both
can break your heart. Both can be addictive. And both
can be expensive, unless you know which horse to bet
on or which course to play.And while Funny Cide may
have been an unknown before this year's Kentucky Derby,
golfers from the Great Lakes to the Deep South have
discovered that the best bet for golf in the Louisville
area is Quail Chase Golf Club. With its 27
championship holes, great service and unbeatable rates,
Quail Chase guarantees a golfing trifecta. |
