Purgatory Golf Club

Layout and design suburb. Club house is amazing and the staff were very helpful to me being that I had traveled a fair distance to visit.

Only down fall was cart paths and lack there of. I can accept the fact they receive have a lot of out of town visitors but the course conditions should be a top priority. It was very rough entering and exiting the fairways.

This is a very nice course that has not maintained the quality I am use to on this course. For such a long course with many blind shots it is sad that the carts do not have GPS or at least the sprinkler heads should have distances. I played this course before when they had both. Unfortunately now nearly every sprinkler head was missing the distance. This is very disconcerting especially on par 3s. This also adds substantially to the speed of play.

Where do I start. First bag drop and check in, where I have no idea!!!! Walked all over before I found pro shop. Signs would be nice. Staff friendly no question. However their starter friendly as he was, could not keep his mouth shut at all during our tee off. Never seen anything like this before. Nice guy but honestly I’m not paying to have him ramble on. Having set the tone, thank you Bob, the course is well maintained and very difficult, very very difficult. Oh and thanks Bob for the 6 hole interruption while hitting our second shots. Look I have no problem with pace of play. However when Bob comes to us and explains how he’s handling speed of play with the forward group and then actually slows everything down by his stories, well that’s not helpful when their was no reason to interject himself. Pace was fine.

Look course is way to hard for us mere mortals and the slope ratings are just a tad lowwwww.

Price was fine course was nuts and Bob needs to shut the heck up.

Great course in great condition. Staff was excellent and very helpful. Will definitely play again.

Mental preparation is rewarded for each shot, from tee to green. If you don't properly set up your shots you'll get beat up. Pace of play excellent. 18 holes under 4 hours. Tee boxes immaculate. Staff superb. Would recommend bag pick up from car or more convenient bag drop-off,

Had a hot deal during the week. Pace of play was fast. Staff was good. Course was in good shape. Greens are tough to read. Cool and challenging layout. Only negative was there was no way to know pin location.

Recommend that you do not play this course for your first round of the year. I will be back to take it on later in the summer.

Love the layout, greens, and challenges it presents. Course offers multiple tees so utilize the one that matches your handicap - indicated on the scorecard.

One drawback is the carts do not have gps so ensure you bring your own.

Great layout and condition. My son and I had lot of fun. Challenging, but open with immaculate and fast greens. We’ll come back for sure.

Purgatory is in the best shape I've seen it since moving to the Indy area 3 years ago, with the exception of parts of the 5th and 6th greens which are being patched. But everything else is in great shape.

While it's cliche to say anywhere, especially here, do not spray the ball into the tall stuff. It is extremely thick and tall right now. In some spots you can find your ball in the tall stuff, but in others (such as on 16) kiss it goodbye.

Greens are their usual fast speed, and combine that with the undulation and stay under the hole.

As always it's one of the best plays around, and well worth the cost, especially in its current condition.

The course was in pretty good shape for being early in the season. The sand traps were in mid season shape. The greens were slow but that was to be expected.

I had heard about how difficult this course was and how it would "eat your lunch", so I had actually avoided it due to its reputation. Well my son & I were in the area and got a great rate on GN so we decided to give it a shot.

Arrived at course and the pro shop guy was very nice but informed me the GPS on the carts wasn't working, so I bought a yardage book.

Don't get me wrong-- it's a nice course with huge greens, nicely filled bunkers and very wide fairways but not nearly as intimidating as I'd heard or expected. We are bogey golfers and had no problem shooting our handicap or better (played white tees, with little to no roll on tee shots)

I guess I just expected a more challenging track.

The fact that the GPS wasn't working made it very difficult to figure yardages as the course was very poorly marked and the yardage book wasn't much help either.

All in all it was an average experience, which is fine but when you are playing one of the Top 10 courses in the state I guess you expect more...Kinda surprised they play so many state events there.

I would return, but I wouldn't go out of my way to play it-- too many other nice choices in the NE Indy market.

The staff was extremely friendly. Greens are true and extremely difficult at the same time. What a challenge and a great time. I would highly recommend this course and will be sure to play again. Well deserving of the name.

Loved the staff friendliness. Had 4 guys looking for a shirt to bring home. I had to have that logo, too cool. Greens are so true and cruel at the same time. What a challenge and a blast. Bloody mary fantastics don't skip the 27 ingredient purgatory has to offer. Themed golf shop was really pretty.

This course is a great facility. It was in great condition. A fun and challenging course.

If you fear bunkers, traps, and fescue this is not for you. The layout is great and very challenging. The course condition was a little lacking, tee to green there were some areas that needed love. The par threes were a very nice mix of yardage and design. Many of the holes offer a very links style feel. On the backnine a member drove around us and teed off on the next hole, we then had to wait on him thru the entire backnine. All in all, I found Purgatory very enjoyable.
