Overview
- The course was driven over by four-wheelers sometime overnight into Monday, leaving deep tire tracks that badly damaged fairways, with Hole No. 1 described as completely torn up.
- Park leaders found spray-foam swastika symbols in the parking lot, a discovery that city officials and the councilwoman called unacceptable and that expanded the case beyond property damage.
- Louisville Parks and Recreation estimates repairs will cost up to $5,000 and take three to four weeks to complete, with taxpayers covering the expense rather than planned upgrades.
- Park rangers are working with the Louisville Metro Police Department on an active investigation and council leaders say security cameras are already being planned for the park.
- Local golfers say the course has been targeted before, and officials say repeated vandalism forces the city to shift limited funds and undermines ongoing investments such as repaved paths, drainage fixes, and a planned aquatic center.
