Ben Hawes State Park Golf Club

Great place for a round of golf. This facility also has a large practice putting green, driving range, and a 9 hole par 3 course. There is not a 19th hole, but you can purchase beer, sodas and snacks. Senior scramble is played on Wednesday mornings. The cost is $13 + green and cart fees.

Loved it! Great park, great setting, great price. If they put a really good place to grab some lunch at this park I'd be here every weekend.

Nice muni course! The older guys at the front desk are always nice and helpful! Course was in great shape despite all the rain this spring! Worth every penny!

The course was in great shape. The rough was tough as the ball liked to sit down and made difficult to find but your suppose to keep it in the short grass right? Greens were in excellent shape and rolled great. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Let me start by saying I have been playing Golf for 30 years and I am currently a 3 handicap. I have played courses all along the east coast over this time. My daughter has a state tournament this weekend here in Owensboro. While in the area I decided to play a round at Ben Hawes this evening. The staff made this an experience of a lifetime. We were welcomed and treated spectacularly. The course is one of the finest municipal courses I have ever played. Ranger was on point. Greens were a bit slow for my liking but were in excellent condition. I live almost 4 hours away and would make the trip…

I really enjoy golfing here. Great price for everything here.

Employees a bit stiff. Driving range ok, putting green horrible.

Walked Ben Hawes today (whites). 8am Sat tee with light winds and 85°. What a great day. Ben Hawes is a fine public course, especially for the value....$26 wkends to walk. Every hole was challenging....and the creek running through the property is intriguing and attractive....and adds an extra mile or so to the walk. 🥴 I really liked it.🎯💯 Staff was really cool too.😎

Pulled up and there was literally 10 cars in the parking lot. They sent me away because I didn't have a tee time. I play once or twice a week so I understand golf etiquette. You should get a tee time, however the course was dead. Nobody was on the first 2 holes, and a big group was at the driving range. I was by myself and told the guy at the desk that I play fast, yet still sent me away. I will not be back!!

This is a great course at a pretty good price. For a municipal course it is well maintained, and there's also a range there. My only complaint is that there's a gun range nearby and it distracted me a little bit on several holes. 10/10 would golf again

Ben Hawes was not a bad track. It is probably the 3rd best course in Owensboro behind The Summit and Owensboro Country Club. The course isn't in bad shape but they could definitely stand to have the creeks marked with reach and carry distances.

The course was absolutely beautiful, even on a wet rainy day! Great shape. Every hole had a challenge.
