Leitchfield

I don't know what the other reviewer was talking about, because I really like Leitchfield. I'll admit it's not quite as exciting a town as some others, and it's a bit isolated, but there's plenty to do here!

The population isn't abysmally low, so it ends up being a lot better area than many other small towns in out of the way areas. Yeah, it's a little far from some of Kentucky's bigger cities, but you can certainly have some fun!

First, as the other reviewer mentioned, there is some good golf in Leitchfield. Legacy Golf is in nearby Clarkson, and I've always loved it there. I don't get to enjoy this particular set of links very often, but when I do I always go home very happy to have made the trek. The course is fairly pretty and challenging enough without being too much of a struggle. It's great for a long day outdoors!

There aren't a ton of restaurants or bars in Leitchfield, but you have a handful of good smaller places, and B&B Brothers for Italian is quite good! I highly recommend it! For the most part I'm a Southern cooking kinda guy, with a great affinity for BBQ, but I will always have a soft spot for Italian, and B&B Brothers is some of the better Italian cooking I've had.

The one bad things about Leitchfield in my opinion is the schools. This is a great town for raising kids, but the lack of better schools and more options diminishes it. It's a safe town with reasonably priced real estate, but it's tough to get past the school system. It's not horrid or anything, but the average educational level in Leitchfield is fairly low as I understand it, and the schools aren't as much a focus as in some other areas.

Outside of that one caveat, I'd have to say Leitchfield is an absolutely stellar town. The population is big enough to keep you entertained for a good while, and the people are wonderful. You might be able to do better, but not a whole lot better. I recommend it!

I'm not the biggest fan of Leitchfield. It's a nice enough town, and there are a few restaurants, but I hear far too much about crime in the area for such a small town.

Geographically, it's located out in the sticks. There are a fair number of residents, but it still feels super isolated. Because of this I feel like it should be incredibly safe, but there's a fair bit of crime statistically. It's not horrible, and there are worse parts of Cincinnati and other big cities to be sure, so I don't want to scare people off by making them think this is a truly unsafe town. It's just that there's more crime than I'd like. And that's a shame.

As far as things to do in Leitchfield, you have a handful of restaurants that are decent enough, but outside of B&B Brothers for Italian food you don't have any really good restaurants. There are a few halfway good places like China King, but that's nothing really special, and the Subways and Pizza Huts are really nothing special.

The one thing that's actually pretty cool about Leitchfield is that there are two golf courses. If you're a golfer you'll be very happy to be able to hit the links on occasion at two above average courses. There's at least some chances for having fun in the sun in Leitchfield, and I appreciate that.
