Purgatory Golf Club

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.

Got a great rate, played after work, had the course to ourselves, which is always wonderful. Tees, fairways, first cut of rough & greens were all good. I'd say greens were very fair, if large and pretty undulating. 2million bunkers, most of which were in great shape. By most accounts (and if reviews are any indication) this is regarded as one of Indiana's best. I haven't played here in a while, and most of those previous rounds were before I got better at the game. Having made it out today, I was excited to give the course a shot. We ended up getting a 2 club wind and our touch screen GPS unit never worked right (no distance feature).

Here's my thoughts: the course has a few memorable holes (I like #1, 2, a few others) but after about 5-6 holes they all look the same: Tee box points you out to an expanse of bunkers & mounds. There are very few items to gauge distance, pick good sight lines, or see your landing area. I couldn't really use my laser to help off the tee. Because they all look the same, I couldn't remember where to aim from earlier visits. It becomes evident that only those players who get out here frequently are going to know where you should be setting up your shots. All of this effort to make the course "hard" has really just created the same problems, over & over: you flew over the wrong edge of a mound/bunker and guess what...you ended up in a bunker (or a mess of weedy fescue that's sparsely on the mounds). Architecturally it's kinda boring. I get the target-golf idea, believe me. But after 18 holes of always guessing where to frikn aim or where your ball is, I just wanted some fair golf holes.

Maybe the GPS would have helped (or maybe a few more trips would), I'm not sure. I think it's just "hard for hard's sake" and lacks the overall charms of some other courses in the area (I find The Fort G.C. to usually be my favorite year in & out). I would definitely recommend the course to others, but I would prep the uninitiated to be prepared for a barrage of bad breaks posing as course design.

Challenging links course... pace of play was exceptional.

First time playing here, great challenge but fair . Really enjoyed the course would play again many times .

Great day. Weather perfect and course in great shape. Grounds crew has done a marvelous job with this course. Greens were impeccable, fairways in great shape. Rough a little rough because it is still a little patchy, but that is the character of this course. Worth the money at regular rate as well.
