The defining feature of Hurstbourne Country Club is its stunning clubhouse, a former mansion designed in the Gothic Revival style. “It has really high-end renovations on the inside, while also still keeping that original character on the outside, so it's a really nice space,” says Barrett Goff, founder and principal broker of Allodium Real Estate. The club’s 18-hole golf course is regularly rated as one of the best in the state by Golf Digest, and there is an additional 9-hole executive course. Other resort-style amenities include a pool, courts for tennis and pickleball and fitness facilities. Nearby E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park spans more than 500 acres.
