Eagle ' s Nest , Burnside Island , Somerset Country Club and Woodson Bend will entertain and challenge golfers of any level

While the sparkling waters of Lake Cumberland may be the main draw for most tourists visiting the Pulaski County area , the four outstanding golf courses in the area may be a close second as the favorite entertainment for out-of-town tourists .
Two of the golf courses – Burnside Island State Park and Woodson Bend Resort – are located alongside Lake Cumberland in the southern part of Pulaski County , while Eagle ' s Nest Country Club
and Somerset Country Club are located within or nearby the Somerset city limits .
All four golf courses are meticulously maintained and offer their own individual challenges for golfers of any level .
Somerset Country Club , the oldest of the four local courses , is the shortest of the four courses allowing the long hitters to score low . However , danger awaits around every corner with tight fairways , creeks and water along several of the holes .
Burnside Island State
Park , which was redesigned 14 years ago , is maintained to the highest of standards and features some of the most unique holes a golfer might ever play . The course is average in length with five holes laying at the edge of the wooded area along Lake Cumberland .
Woodson Bend Resort is tucked away in its own little secluded area along Lake Cumberland . And while the lake does not come into play , the breathtaking views of the Palisade stone walls of Lake Cumberland can be seen from several of the holes on
the course . And if you play later in the day , you will have to share the course with many of the resort ' s friendly deers .
While Eagle ' s Nest Country Club is the newest of the four local courses , it was designed and built around the rough and rugged terrains of Pulaski County farmland . A large almost bottomless ravin presents a tough challenge for both the first and tenth holes . And while the tee boxes , fairways and greens are all in pristine condition , the terrain outside these areas can be daunting on several of its more formidable holes .
