Persimmon Ridge Golf Club

The course threads through Shelby County's rolling terrain and mature farmland, a routing golf architect Arthur Hills used to build what Golf Digest recognized as an 'Outstanding Design' in 2007. It has hosted the Kentucky Open multiple times since opening in 1989, giving it real competitive pedigree within the state alongside its residential role.

Buying a home in Persimmon Ridge does not include or guarantee golf club membership. The neighborhood's HOA operates independently, covering the community's own pool, tennis courts, and common-area maintenance, while golf access runs through a separate private club membership. Since the 2017 merger with Polo Fields (and the subsequent Fleur-De-Lis Clubs network with Oxmoor Country Club), members join one club and gain reciprocal privileges at all three -- but that membership is purchased and applied for independently of the home purchase.

The surrounding development blends a rural, large-lot character with the conveniences of a planned community: big home sites, open green space, underground utilities, and multiple fishing lakes, alongside a dedicated patio-home section for buyers who want lower-maintenance living within the same neighborhood.

Beyond golf, residents have access to an Olympic-sized community swimming pool, a playground, and tennis/pickleball courts through the HOA, plus the added social and dining amenities that come with Fleur-De-Lis Club membership if a homeowner chooses to join.

Persimmon Ridge sits in Shelby County on Louisville's northeastern fringe, giving residents a more rural setting than the East End's denser subdivisions while remaining a reasonable commute into Louisville proper.
