Keene Trace Golf Club: A Kentucky Gem Steeped in Southern Hospitality
Where heritage meets championship action
Set against the scenic backdrop of Nicholasville, Kentucky, Keene Trace Golf Club has served as the proud host of the ISCO Championship since 2018. The lush, rolling hills of Central Kentucky offer more than just picturesque views—they’ve become a proving ground for some of the game’s rising stars and most seasoned players.
The Champion Trace course, known for its wide fairways, fast greens, and a back-nine full of risk-reward opportunities, brings a dynamic rhythm to tournament play. The 18th hole in particular—with its risk-heavy approach and crowd-thick amphitheater setting—has shaped dramatic finishes that continue to stir the memory of fans.
Built in the late 1980s and continually refined, Keene Trace balances strategic shot-making with Southern elegance, making it the perfect stage for competitive golf infused with local flair. Each July, it becomes a magnet for those who crave both athletic excellence and a summer escape with personality.
Big Wins, Bold Names, and Career-Making Moments
Celebrating the champions who’ve lit up Kentucky’s leaderboard
Though still relatively young in PGA TOUR years, the ISCO Championship has already delivered several headline-making victories. From breakout performances to career-defining wins, this tournament continues to provide fertile ground for golf’s most memorable moments.
Sepp Straka’s come-from-behind win in 2022 remains a fan favorite, as he stormed through the final round to become the first Austrian to win on the PGA TOUR. His precision off the tee and fearless approach into the final stretch earned him not just the trophy but a tidal wave of international support.
Another standout name is J.T. Poston, who dazzled the gallery with a bogey-free week—an exceptional feat that underlined both his consistency and calm under pressure. With each year, the field becomes more competitive, but also more unpredictable—which is part of what makes the ISCO Championship such thrilling viewing.
Beyond the trophies, the event has served as a springboard for emerging talent. Young players often arrive with something to prove, and with the course offering both challenge and opportunity, the leaderboard is never short of surprises.
Here’s what keeps golf fans buzzing every summer:
- A track record of producing dramatic Sunday finishes
- Champions who go on to secure FedExCup Playoffs success
- Opportunities to witness rising stars make their mark
This combination of competitive unpredictability and crowd-pleasing momentum is part of what sets the ISCO Championship apart. You’re not just watching golf—you’re watching the next chapter unfold in real-time.
