Diamond Caverns Resort & Golf Club

The Resort & Setting

Diamond Caverns Resort & Golf Club is a timeshare property in Park City, Kentucky, originally developed under the Diamond Resorts brand and now part of the Hilton Grand Vacations family following the Diamond–HGV merger. Ownership here is sold by the week, with owners holding rights to stay at the resort or to put their week into the RCI exchange network for a stay elsewhere. The resort trades on its setting rather than on big-ticket amenities — this is golf-and-countryside Kentucky, not a resort strip, and that's exactly the draw for buyers who want a low-key base in the region.

The Area & Things to Do

Park City's single biggest advantage is location: Mammoth Cave National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the longest known cave system on earth, is about 20 miles (32 km) away and worth a full day on its own, between ranger-led cave tours and surface hiking trails. Closer to home, Park City Lake is roughly 1.5 miles (2 km) from the resort and makes for an easy afternoon outdoors. Lost River Cave, around 15 miles (24 km) away in Bowling Green, adds an underground boat tour to the mix, and car enthusiasts often build in a stop at the National Corvette Museum, about 26 miles (42 km) out, which anchors a wider day trip into Bowling Green. None of this is a high-density tourist strip — it's a region you explore by car, with the cave system as the main event.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Diamond Caverns Resort & Golf Club and are weighing up a sale or a rental, it helps to understand exactly what changes hands and what it costs. On BidMyTimeshare.com, you list your week as a private, owner-to-owner sale or rental: you set the asking price, buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, and we charge a one-time listing fee rather than taking a cut of your sale — there's no commission.

The bigger numbers to plan around come from Hilton Grand Vacations itself, since Diamond Caverns now falls under HGV's resale and transfer rules. According to HGV's fee schedule effective 1 January 2026, transferring a resale purchase involves a $736 activation fee, a $504 ownership change fee and a $102 estoppel fee (these were $715, $489 and $99 respectively in 2025, so expect them to keep rising). HGV's official club disclosure also notes that transfers may be subject to a right of first refusal, which brokers report typically runs for 30 days before a sale can proceed to a third-party buyer.

It's also worth being upfront with buyers about what a resale purchase does not include: HGV resale buyers get limited Hilton Honors point conversion, no automatic elevated Honors status, no Open Season booking benefits, and no access to HGV Max. Brokers quote transfer timelines anywhere from 4–6 weeks on the fast end to as long as 60–120 days, so build that into any sale timeline you quote a buyer.

Renters, meanwhile, are mostly after a straightforward stay — they want clear dates, confirmation of the unit size, and reassurance that the booking is legitimate, rather than any exchange-network benefits, since renting doesn't transfer ownership or RCI privileges.

Practical Notes for Buyers and Sellers

Before agreeing on a price, both sides should confirm the current annual maintenance fee directly with HGV's owner services, since that figure isn't fixed and changes year to year. Sellers should also flag the right-of-first-refusal clause early, so a buyer isn't surprised if HGV takes its 30-day window before the resale is confirmed. Spring and autumn tend to suit the region best for cave tours and outdoor stops, given Kentucky's hot, humid summers and the occasional winter cave-tour closures — useful context to share with a renter asking when to book.
