Lexington Parks & Recreation’s golf program, also known as Play Golf Lex, just announced the 2025 schedule for the Lexington City Championships, Lexington City Scrambles, Play Golf Lex Junior and Amateur Tours, and adult golf classes. Parks & Recreation has continued to develop and expand their golf offerings and schedules, matching the increase in golf popularity in recent years.

“Our golf courses are a major part of our offerings and play a key role in recreation in Lexington,” said Monica Conrad, Director of Lexington Parks & Recreation. “Golf has continued to really take off in popularity and participation in recent years. Our tournaments are seeing record numbers and the activity at our courses continues to grow. We’re proud to present another full schedule at our city’s public courses – available for juniors, seniors, and everyone in between.”

The Lexington City Championships and City Scrambles, one-off events people can register for, have seen an increase in participation in recent years, with all the events showing notable increases in rounds played. The Cabin Fever, Pumpkin Patch Classic, and Team Championship all sold out in the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

“We love being stewards of the sport here in Lexington are always excited to welcome new faces wanting to give golf a try,” said Justin Mullannix, Golf Manager for Lexington Parks & Recreation. “Beyond play, we understand our courses are beautiful parkland and are proud that three of our courses are Certified Cooperative Sanctuaries through Audubon International – with pollinator gardens, invasive species management, and riparian zones. We look forward to another great season of golf at our beautiful courses.”

Lexington Parks & Recreation also offers men and women’s amateur tours – the Play Golf Lex Am Tour. The men’s tour, in its sixth season, saw an average event increase of 25% in 2024, with 350 unique players participating. The women’s tour, which enters its third season, had a 50% increase in participation in 2024, with 179 total rounds. The 2025 Play Golf Lex Am Tour begins April 6 and runs until the Tour Championship, September 13–14 at Kearney Hill Golf Links. 

The Play Golf Lex Junior Tour, which was introduced in 2023, welcomed an astounding 120 players with a total of 730 rounds played in 2024. The 2025 season runs from April 19 through July 14.
