      The Paris Landing State Park Golf Course is a Par 72, 18-hole course situated on the western shore of Kentucky Lake. The entire course is tree-lined, and therefore provides some privacy screening for players on the course. Several holes skirt the Kentucky Lake, producing a natural balance of rolling land, trees, and water. Through the years Paris Landing has hosted numerous collegiate and high school championships.
      The course opened in 1971. In 1994 Hole #12 was redesigned lengthening the hole by approximately 75 to 100 yards and relocating the green to include the vistas of the lake, while greens on Hole #7 and Hole #13 were rebuilt in 1996–1997. Hole #12 is a 586-yard, par 5 with an elevated green again overlooking the Kentucky Lake. The signature hole #4 is a downhill 186-yard par 3 with the Kentucky Lake providing a scenic backdrop.


      Summer activities


      The park is most often visited in the summer season. Many families use the facilities for various events such as barbecues, picnics, fireworks, recreational activities, etc. On Independence Day, the park is full of visitors there to watch the show of fireworks. The clear setting of the lake provides a beautiful backdrop to the fireworks show. During the summer the pool is open for swimming, as well as the lake. Many boats and fishing equipment can be seen out on the waters in the summer season.
