About this course
Lincoln Ridge Park — known to locals as Banklick — is a 24-hole course in Independence, Kentucky, with a good mix of wooded and open holes across varied terrain and elevation. From the white tees it plays 6,943 feet at par 72, with a lake, a road, and a creek all in play as OB.
Free to play with concrete tees and Chainstar baskets, it's the friendly marathon of the Cincinnati area — 24 par 3s that flow through the park without ever feeling repetitive. Not cart friendly, so plan to walk it.
It's the course where the region's intermediate players get their 24-hole fix, and the OB hazards keep every round interesting.
Hole 24 closes Lincoln Ridge at 450 feet — the longest par 3 on the card and the perfect final exam for 24 holes of varied, hilly golf. A clean drive, a careful approach, and you've earned a par on the course's biggest test. It's the finish that makes the walk back to the lot feel like a victory lap.
