The Ryder Cup is great exposure for Louisville. Little know fact is that Louisville has more independently owned restaurants per capital then any other city in the US (excluding NYC). To see where some of the finest eats are you can visit http://www.foodboyz.com, the city’s number one source for dining. Don’t forget to support the Fightmaster Cup Challenge being held at the Cardinal Club in Simpsonville (just outside Louisville) the weekend of September 12-14.

I am a native of Louisville. I think you will find Louisville beautiful, and the people here very friendly. Louisville has many wonderful independent restaurants. I have attached a great link with ratings and reviews. http://www.louisvillehotbytes.com/?page_id=9

If you need a restaurant recommendation, or just would like an answer to a question from a local, feel free to drop me an email ECLOGITE1@aol.com.

I hope you have a great time.

Gearoid,

The travel time from Lexington to Louisville is around 1.15 hours. There is very little traffic congestion in Louisville and getting round is very easy. That said, Louisville has no metro or light rail lines, so a rental car will be essential.

If you are staying in Lexington you should look into getting a private horse farm tour and see the Kentucky Horse Park in Georgetown (about 15 min north of Lexington).

Just found Ryder Cup parking at private residence across the street from Valhalla. Owner is charging $50 per day which is not bad when other sites that are close to a mile away are charging $40 per day. Homeowner is Richard Handy and his number is 502-244-5579.
Hope this helps those that need parking.

There will be daily shuttles from the Kentucky Expo Center to the golf course. Check out the Ryder Cup website for particulars.

As far as I know, it is the only way to access the course on tournament days — no public parking.
