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.

Par 3, 17th Hole Photo submitted by TravisCedzidlo19 on 10/09/2014
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!
Had a great time here! Tee to green course was in great shape.
Purgatory
The course was in good shape. It is a hard course but a lot of fun. The food is exceptional. The staff at the course are great. We will definitely play here again.
Love a good beach round
Don’t forget your sand wedge. IMO top 5 course in the greater metro area. Beautiful and well kept. Expect to bump your handicap up 3-5+
Love the course. I would play it more often if it were a little closer to my house.
Great Course
From the starter to the restaurant staff everything was very good. Course was in good condition considering the extreme amount of rain it received.
Slow Play
For a Tuesday afternoon the pace of play was very slow. No ranger on course to keep play moving.
Great day
Best conditions to date been playing there since clubhouse was a single wide
It is one of the best in IN
