Purgatory Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Spread across 218 acres, the Ron Kern-designed Purgatory Golf Club is the longest par-72 course east of the Mississippi River. Nevertheless, the course is set up to be enjoyed by all, with six different sets of tees ranging from more than 7,700 yards all the way down to just under 4,600 yards. Bunkering is one of the club's defining features, with more than 130 coming into play. Nowhere is this more apparent than on the par-3 17th, where eight massive bunkers almost completely surround the putting surface.

Great Time
Wonderful course. You better like bunkers. Nice sand. Good pace. Enjoyable day!
Course is in the best shape it's been in years. Greens roll very well. Course plays difficult and fun. Staff is friendly and the practice areas are very nice as well.
Great course
Purgatory is truly one of the best courses in Indiana. Great layout, very challenging, fast greens, great shape overall.
Great course with great amenities and staff
The course was in great condition. Wide open and pace of play was quick and design is spectacular.
Purgatory worth the $
I golfed this course looking for a local course for my wife and two friends to golf before we drove back to Michigan following the Morgan Wallen concert the night before. It was fun, challenging, in great shape with a nice layout. Worth the $ in my opinion. It’s not super expensive but not a cheap course. I’d definitely golf there again if I’m ever in the neighborhood.
Great links style course!
