Golf Advisor: Top 25 Most Improved U.S. Golf Courses (2021 #15)
Reviews
Not worth the money
42$ for 18 holes at this course is absolutely ridiculous. This course is worth about half of that with the condition that it’s in. Carts suck, no such thing as a cut fairway. No deal for the greens being aerated. Not worth the money at all.
bunkers
Bunkers are mud pit's. Needs grass in some places. Overall really nice if not for the bunkers.
improved course condition
I have played this course for 3 years and today was the best condition it has been to date. the fairways and greens were in good shape ..the layout is good, but the back 9 has a multitude of trees that require straight shots off the tee to have a good look at the flag... Hole 10 is blind and narrow with hazards on the right due to changing elevations , best to stay straight or slightly left to avoid trouble. Overall its a nice course to play especially if you play during the week through the Tee off app.
Good-All Things Considered
Very playable but still needs some work. Greens could be a little faster. A few narrow fairways. Not many water or sand hazards. Pace of play was great. Decent value for the money. Staff very friendly and outgoing.
Terrible Course
Can't imagine what course these other reviewer's played, but it certainly wasn't this one! Course is in lousy shape with long uncut fairways, debris all over poorly maintained greens and some guy named Jack who acted like a little child, when all we asked was directions to another hole on a very oddly laid out course! Everyone in our group agreed we won't be back to this one.
Great condition during heat wave
Greens very receptive but a little long which slowed the greens down. Fairways in great shape. Surrounding courses are pretty burnt up with hard greens. Definitely play again this year.
Best Conditions in Years
The new ownership has really taken the time to fix what we’re bad playing conditions. The course is the best I’ve seen it in years. It’s worth playing if you live near by but it’s not weekends $45 green fee worthy. $35-37 based on other courses in close proximity is where the price point should be.
Getting there
The course is in better condition than I have seen it in several years. The staff has definitely put in a lot of work to get this course to where it is now. Great job!
Nice course for the value
Course was in decent condition, definitely in better shape than last time I played it (last year). I think it would help if some trees on 3 and 13 were trimmed back that cover the fairways, would make the holes play a little more fair for beginners and weekend hacks. But it’s a return trip for sure.
One of the best courses greater Hancock county
Good course. Helpful staff and good pace of play. Used a deal I found on the app to play 18 for $27 and got more than enough fun out of the course.
Cool layout
I really liked the layout. Challenging, but fun. Wish fairways & tee boxes would of been mowed, surprising for a Saturday. Overall, I enjoyed my round. Friendly staff.
Nice course!
For the cost to play the value is excellent. One of the better courses I've played on the south side of Indy.
