LOUISVILLE, KY–(Marketwire – September 17, 2010) –  Duffer’s will delight in hotel deals in downtown Louisville, KY that combine competitive Fuzzy Zoeller golfing challenges with world-class luxury hotel accommodations to make a great opportunity for a golf vacation or weekend getaway. The Louisville Marriott Downtown Hotel offers luxurious accommodations and a central location so guests can enjoy easy access to some of Louisville’s finest attractions and still be only minutes from Covered Bridge and Champions Pointe golf courses.

Frank Urban Zoeller is known in golf circles world-wide as “Fuzzy” and Covered Bridge is his home course, designed and owned by Zoeller himself. The 18-hole course rolls gently at the foot of Southern Indiana’s famous Floyds Knobs and each hole was designed to emphasize the natural beauty of the landscape and its panoramic views. The par 72 course features a wandering creek, five lakes, an abundance of trees and greens that meet the specifications of the USGA.

Zoeller collaborated with Clyde Johnson in designing the prestigious Champions Pointe 18-hole course where the area’s finest USGA bent grass greens hold only a portion of the exciting challenges found along this pristine course that features an abundance of lakes, strategically placed bunkers and Zoysia fairways. Termed to be “demanding, but fair,” this par 72 course offers something for golfers of all skill levels.
