What are the top public golf courses in Indiana?
It depends who you ask. In the case of GolfPass' annual Golfers Choice ranking lists, you are the expert, along with thousands of your fellow golfers.
We compile our annual Golfers' Choice lists by analyzing the ratings and reviews submitted by members of our community - golfers like you - throughout the previous year. We use GolfPass' Ratings Index logic that weights newer reviews and combine it with a course's subcategory averages. Courses must offer public access and have received at least one review in 2023 to be eligible for this year's list. If you want to play any of these courses, hover your browser over the course photo and if tee times are available, you can click to book directly.

Warren Golf Course At Notre Dame
Notre Dame, IndianaPublic/UniversityGreen fee: $42-$115
What they're saying: "Great course all around. Played there many times. There was a junior tournament so pace of play was slow but they ended up giving us a free round as well since they were unsure if we would be able to finish. Probably the nicest course in the area. Will for sure play again." - Chayse7959930 -

The Eagle Pointe Golf & Tennis Resort
Green fee: $39-$49
What they're saying: "I play this course at least once a year just to see how it's coming along since the new ownership took it over out of bankruptcy. The course was dead pre-covid. Now it is in the best shape I've ever seen it and is the best in the area with no course even a close 2nd. From Tee to Green it's fantastic! Great work to the staff! Price was mid-afternoon weekday, which is perfect! Will be back!" - OBulldogs -
Champions Pointe
Green fee: $47-$60

Zollner Golf Course
Green fee: $27-$45
What they're saying: "Course is in great shape. Greens were really nice. Fun course to play. Nice wide fairways. Short par 4s. A lot of elevation changes creates a few blind shots. I played this course once before and I didn’t realize how tight the holes were to each other. A lot of balls rattling the trees from other holes." - dunn1122 -

What they're saying: "Pace of play was slow, but the course was super busy. Hilly, but fun. Great staff and well maintained course. Only 1 tee box was a little hard. Great Amish restaurant nearby for after play. Plan on going back. Well worth the price even having to drive 1.5 hrs one way." - Dennis8097 -
Belterra Golf Club
Green fee: $100-$120
What they're saying: "Belterra has an excellent layout. Most fairways are wide. But there is a lot of deep grass if you miss badly. Fairways were near perfect. The greens had lots of interesting contours. Green speed was a little slower than I expected, but very good considering the amount of break. The cost was $120, so (it's) more expensive than a normal round. The staff was outstanding. The cart helpers were fantastic - even gave us a cold towel at the end of a hot round." - Ryan4915 -

Hickory Stick Golf Club
Green fee: $40+
What they're saying: "In anticipation of an upcoming event, I played this course from the tips. I am an 11.2 index so this was very challenging.
