Nine holes, you have to love it!

Great find.

Wow, obviously long gone. I hope to talk my way on Rolling Hills in the next year and see if they admit to any Perry history. I will be sure to ask about the nine holer as well. That is at least 3 Maxwell courses I have learned about in Kentucky the past year (Rolling Hills and the mystery Louisville course) Well done as usual Sven.

My best friend in college grew up playing at Rolling Hills. I have played it 5 or 6 times, it's a sporty track.  I am will have to ask him about the possible Maxwell connection.  He has never mentioned it before when we have discussed Maxwell courses.

Thanks Sven!  I will add Noble Park to the Maxwell timeline.

I checked the same history of the Paducah parks system that helped me connect the dots on Rolling Hills and found the following...



So it looks like the Noble Hills golf course had a short life.

As for Rolling Hills, I haven't informed the club of the information tying them to Maxwell.  I doubt they know.  There isn't anything on their website along those lines.  Maxwell's design was for Lake View Country Club, which is clearly what is now known as Rolling Hills.  But I haven't been able to determine whether that was the result of a name change or operation of an entirely different club.

Perry G. Maxwell? You think this was a typo? for Perry Duke Maxwell?
