Data notes & caveats
- Break-even uses two 18-hole courses read from the official rate sheet on 2026-10-17 (Iroquois $19 weekday / $22 weekend with a $7 pass user fee; Charlie Vettiner $20.50 / $24 with $7.50). The sheet's footer is marked '6/23' and its table is hard to read in text form, so confirm current greens fees and user fees with the course. Winter (Dec-Feb) greens fees at Iroquois are listed lower ($16 weekday / $17.50 weekend, same $7 fee), which lengthens break-even. Cart fees are not included.
- First-year pass buyers must buy in person with photo ID at the Louisville Parks Golf Desk.
