Let's Swing into Day 2 of the Visit Richmond KY takeover and Make it a tee-rific day in Richmond. ⛳ 🏌️

Today’s takeover takes you to Gibson Bay Golf Course, where a round of golf is paired with beautiful Bluegrass scenery and a course worth finding its way onto your itinerary.

Whether you’re trying for your personal best, or just enjoying a casual round, Gibson Bay delivers every time. And when you’re ready to refuel, you can head over to the Gibson Bay Cafe. Every round deserves a good meal afterward.

For Day one of the Visit Richmond KY takeover, get a little wild exploring Richmond. 🐴 🦙

Here are two places you can slow down, get outside and meet some pretty unforgettable, four-legged locals.

From alpacas at River Hill Ranch to the horses and trail at Deer Run Stables/ Stepping Stone Ranch, Richmond is proof an adventure doesn’t always mean traveling via roadways. Not only will you have the chance to have hands-on experiences with animals; you’ll leave Richmond with a camera roll full of cute faces and feeling of blissful relaxation.
