Outside the city limits, Sleepy Hollow Golf Course in Prospect is good for a quick 9 around the green before turning south to I-71 for a trip into downtown Louisville and sights and experiences like Waterfront Park, the Ohio River, and Louisville Slugger Field. A quick swoop south onto I-264 from I-71 westbound will take shopping fans down to both Oxmoor Center and Mall St. Matthews, while a similar trip down I-265 leads to Paddock Shops and Springhurst Towne Center.

Foxhollow Farm hosts an annual festival on the second Saturday in October on their property in Crestwood, with hay rides, local food (including goodies from Foxhollow itself), music, and more, all to benefit child welfare agency Maryhurst.
