While studying the form for the PGA Championship at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville , I noticed that three holes are named after Derby winning horses
2nd - Winning Colors
4th - Mine That Bird
7th - Genuine Risk

From NBC Sports.
No. 10 (Big Red), Par 5, 590 yards
Named after Secretariat, the big, long-distance thoroughbred, this hole is a double-dogleg with a fairway bunker on the right side of the driving zone and deep rough and trees to the left. The undulating, two-tiered green is nearly perpendicular to the fairway and protected by a large, deep bunker in front.

Sounds like a very interesting course
Private I’m sure……

The club has gone private, sold to a local ownership group that includes David Novak, co-founder and former CEO of Yum Brands !

In FL and obviously other places, large groups are buying up public/semi-public courses and privatizing them for expensive memberships + reciprocity.
Hard on those who bought homes long ago on these courses, + I will miss playing some of them
