Disc golf is played like traditional golf. Instead of using a ball and clubs, players throw a flying disc or frisbee®. The sport which was first played formally in the early 1970’s, shares with “ball golf” the goal of completing a hole in the fewest number of strokes-or throws!

Disc golf shares many of the same joys, and challenges as traditional “ball” golf, whether you’re sinking a long putt or hitting a tree halfway down the fairway. However, there are a number of key differences. First, disc golf at Lake Cumberland does not require a greens fee or a cart rental. With disc golf, you never get stuck with a bad “tee time.”

Disc golf can be enjoyed by people of all ages, male and female, and is an inexpensive sport.

The indoor pool complex at Lure Lodge features a temperature-controlled pool, an atrium, a retractable skylight for warm weather, a game room, and an exercise room with a hot tub.

Open year-round. Available to lodge and cottage guests.

An outdoor, public pool is open daily Memorial Day weekend through mid-August.  Lifeguard-protected. Fee charged.
