Morningstar Golf Club

Pace of play was perfect until hole 6 when they decided to paint the greens. We had to wait for them to finish that up. Once they finished then we had to wait behind a group of players that were going pretty slow the rest of the day. The course was in decent shape. Honestly a perfect course to play at for your first time out this year.

After playing a few courses in the area, Morningstar might not be the most upkept course there is, but it’s definitely challenging. The par 3’s are very tight off the tees. The greens aren’t flat, and make you have to play safer shots to avoid doubles and triples. All in all, course is a 4/5 during season.

Carts are old and need of repair. Needs an infusion of funds to get to a n acceptable level. Other courses around to play.

While the course was not that bad, the Greens themselves were indeed the highlight of the round/trip. While the Greens were soft, they also had multiple shelves, increasing the difficulty of the hole and adding to the challenge of the round. There a re a couple of holes with a creek running across the approach and the mature trees add to the difficulty and make it a narrow course; all not bad things to have. I think with a little more time and attention to the fairways and tee boxes, this would be nice East side course. I will give it another look next year, as I am from Ohio.

This course has the potential to be great. But the upkeep is not great. It seems as if they left the sprinklers on overnight on and around the greens, it was a mud pit. A few of the cups were full of water. Grass on many of the fairways was nonexistent. Cup locations on some of the holes also did not make sense at all. There were also no signs directing you from one hole to the tee box of the next.

Like I said, if the right person took care of this course, it would be great to play on. But for $25-$30 bucks it is not worth the money.

The tee boxes were in horrible condition, the fairways were covered with white clover weeds that made it extremely difficult to find your ball. The greens were nicely designed but 75% of them were diseased or badly damaged. Will never go back until they put forth an effort to drastically improve the course conditions.

I will never place this course again! It is unkept, from Tee boxes to greens! It’s not marked well we were always trying to figure out where the next hole is. The tee boxes are over grown, the tee markers are hard to see and the blue and white are together! The course overall is not maintained well, we spent more time looking for balls then playing! My group was almost hit on at least 4 separate hole with flying balls, nobody yelling “fore”. the group behind us were hitting into us. It was a horrible experience!! Not worth it when there are many other courses around Indianapolis.

Rough and fairways were playable. Greens were very long and slow. For $37 I would recommend playing sahm or winding ridge where the balls actually rolls.

I hate to say it, but you get what you pay for. I believe a round was $28/person including the cart. I usually can expect what to see or play on for that price, but this was a little unsatisfactory for me.

The lady at the front desk wasn’t very welcoming and seemed though as if she didn’t want to be there. She was on her phone a lot and her body language/tone didn’t express any positivity or joy of being on a golf course. This is where most men/and some women come to escape negativity/reality!

I saw some reviews talking about the golf carts and our experience wasn’t any better. We had leaves and dust everywhere on our cart and after placing my phone on the deck of the cart, I picked it up to find so much dirt on the back of it.

The tee boxes weren’t terrible but at times we had to struggle to find where they were located. We usually tee off from the white markers but even some of those were tough to find. I wish I had taken pictures to show.

Most fairways were fine but others was like playing off of dirt. To be honest, the greens were the main issue for me. I posted some pictures below. Enough said.

The cart paths were interesting at times. Some parts didn’t even have a path and some bridges looked like they were going to collapse any second. Be careful!

Overall, I think this course needs some TLC and some new upgrades to the clubhouse. The menu was okay but everything was frozen and cooked via microwave. Some of the views were nice but I doubt I’ll come back in the future. I can’t see the value driving 40 min from my house to play there any time soon unfortunately.

Hope this review helps.

Happy golfing!
