Deer Lakes Golf Course- Deer Lakes Golf Course is a new, challenging, public course in Salem, Kentucky. Construction started in October 1999 and was completed in September 2000 then opened to the public in March 2001. The course has rolling Bermuda fairways and lush bent grass greens. It has water on 9 holes, 34 sand bunkers and dog legs that play through the woods. This 300-acre, naturally contoured golf course is located on Highway 60 in the rural historical setting of Salem, Kentucky, within the former fluorspar-mining center of the world. It is easily reached from I-24 Exits.

The 18 holes are spaced among half dozen lakes and 40 to 50 species of trees that resemble a brilliant emerald in the spring and burst forth in the fall in a spectacular array of color. Deer Lakes Golf Course is enhanced with large rocks, flowing streams and foot bridges. Each tee-box features a marble monument on which the holes specifications are engraved. One irrigation lake between holes #14 and #15 contains over a billion gallons of fresh water feeding from the natural everlasting Butler Spring nearby. The five mile concrete cart path winds through hills and beautiful trees, one being a 150 foot tall Tulip Poplar near #12 Tee-box, a rare Chestnut Oak centered in the driving range and a White Oak measuring 16 Ft. in circumference estimated to be 300 years of age on hole #8.

Francis E. Miller Golf Course- Frances E. Miller Memorial Golf Course presents a unique challenge for competitive and recreational golfers alike. Heralded as one of the west Kentucky lakes region's finest courses, Miller Memorial offers a variety of challenges for the most discriminating golfer.
Measuring 6,592 yards from the championship tees, the par-71 layout has two distinct nines which require a wide array of shot-making. The outward nine is set on hilly terrain and requires pinpoint accuracy from tee to green, whereas the inward half rewards length and accurate long iron play. The longest hole on the course, the par-five 17th, is 535 yards long, while the shortest hole is the par-three 16th, measuring 171 yards. Professionally manicured bent grass greens are surrounded by 54 sand bunkers, with three scenic water hazards also coming into play. The fairways feature automatically watered Bermuda grass.
The facility also offers two large practice putting greens, as well as a wide, two-level practice tee and a spacious, 315-yard driving range. A fleet of golf carts is available, as is club repair service. A snack bar is conveniently located in the pro shop.

Edwin J. Paxton Park Golf Course- Nice, gently rolling golf course with the ultimate in high quality greens--Champion ultra dwarf Bermuda. While Champion has only been on the market since 1996, it is rapidly becoming the buzz in Bermuda circles and is even replacing bent grass in the South on many courses that desire bent grass quality putting surfaces and Bermuda heat tolerance. The ball rolls true and fast on Champion, just like excellent bent grass greens. Tee boxes are Zoysia and Bermuda. Fairways are primarily Bermuda grass.

Many large mature trees with several creeks winding through the course. Par is 71 and the course is very well maintained with a rich tradition and history. This course hosts two large regional events each year featuring professionals and amateurs alike. The Pepsi Super Value Irvin Cobb Golf Championship is held here each year in July and is considered the top local golf tournament in the four state regional area. The Texas Roadhouse Tri-States Senior Open is held here each year in September and is considered one of the premier senior golf events in our area. Two PGA Tour Players (Russ Cochran and Kenny Perry), grew up playing this course and come back each year in September to help host the Super Value Paxton Park Benefit Tournament which raises money for continued renovation efforts at this fine 63 year old facility.
