Purgatory Golf Club

Had a Great Experience - I dont really like to pay alot to play golf ccourses so getting on this course for under $40 was great. Course was in great condition for the time of year and the cart was clean and in good working condition. I will definitely play there again. Practice facilities are the best I've seen.

The day was cool, around 45-50, slight breeze and the course had taken a lot of rain the day before. Overall, good drainage, greens were in good shape, fairways excellent.
If you have played Purgatory before, I'm told they have mowed the rough down alot from what it used to be. Since the course is links-like, this makes it more playable.

green wasn't the greatest condition as before but overall this golf course is just great and chanllenging.

I love this course. I only wish it were closer to home so I could play it more often. The fairways are in good shape and have good landing zones. If you miss them you will scramble to score for sure. Greens roll fast and true.

We were really expecting a premier course, but were very surprised with the way the fairways, greens, bunkers, and even the tee boxes were unkempt. Tall weeds, dandelions on the greens and tee boxes - just overall, the place looked like it had not been taken care of.

Interesting course to play, but for the price they're charging, really expected more. Not sure we'd go back even with the sweet Golfnow deal we bought.

Conditions could be better. The bunkers were below average for this course but still overall in good condition. The pace was too slow. They seemed unaware of how the folders were keeping pace or pack thereof

Beautiful course especially this early in the year. Green were rolling true and fair. Can be a bit pricey but worth the money. I would play this course every week if i lived closer to the north side.

very windy cool sunny day made course play long, but still very fun. sand bunkers were in very good condition.

Greens roll great/ lots of undulations,
fairways are a little long but ok
tees ok
rough needs attention in some areas
heather is ok but lots of weeds in heather that causes weeds in some areas around fairways
greens were a little firm and easy to 3 putt if not careful

Loved it! Had a great time! The greens were nice, the course was in great shape!

Hardest course ever. This course will let you know the weaknesses in your game (or maybe your whole game is weak). It's insane but fun just for the fact it's out of this world challenging. The greens are immaculate and roll perfect. They have the best carts and GPS I've ever seen at a course. It's actually a touch screen so that you can point to spots on the hole and get instant yardages.

Having played many great golf courses across the U.S., Purgatory is one of the most challenging. It's very long and requires accurate tee shots. The heavy bunkering and deep fescue grass will severely punish errant shots. The greens are true and fast as well. A great golf experience! Recommended primarily for mid to low-handicap players.

The clubhouse is magnificent, and the course is a one-of-a-kind. The greens are a little smaller than normal on several holes, but they run true and fast. The course is in pristine condition, and the new touch screen GPS is awesome. Better bring extra balls, even if you're a straight hitter because some of the fairways are a little tight with plenty of fescue even around the bunkers making it difficult to find your ball. Everything at this club is first class.

Purgatory was in great mid season condition this July when we visited. Fairways were plush and green, even though we've had little rain this summer. Will be back later this summer.

Greens were a little slower than I would typically like to see, but the course was in great condition overall.

Always an enjoyable test.

Challenging, fun to play golf course; a great value for the price.

Course was in nice shape, new this year was a very nice GPS systems

The Purgatory Course is one of the best I have ever played. I was told it was super difficult, and might not get a score worth writing down. This is totally false. The majority of fairways are wide enough for me (a bogey player) to score well. You just need to manage the course. Don't try the "miracle shot". You will score badly if you do. But if you play the course correctly, most traps and high grass are out of play.

Even the traps were pristene, after all the bad rain a week ago. Most courses traps are hard as rocks. Purgatory's were light sand. Yes, I did hit two of them :-)

I wouild play Purgatory daily, if my pocket book could handle it.

Make sure you play it. You will not be sorry you did.

One note, they do need to have a better sign outside the course enrty, I passed it once without knowing.

Gps worked great for first 4 holes.Then it was terrible.
It would give yardage at a 90 degree angles.
Fairways not marked very well either.made for a very frustrating rd.
Greens were fast and a little rough in need of better care.
I had played it about 2 yrs ago and it has gone downhill since.
i would not pay the premium rates they charge
There is far better values and options in central indiana.
Golf now price is only reason i played course.
If i saved about 70% on fees i might play again.

The design of this course is very good. Interesting holes, nice risk/reward options on almost every hole. It has a nice flowing, rolling, hilly feel to it like an old style links course, but with a bit more sculpted charm peppered throughout.

However, for the name and rank this course carry’s in Indiana I was disappointed. The course conditions were anything but perfect, and a fair shade shy of “well maintained.” Almost every fairway needs attention, bunkers sanding and the greens were ball marked and need some conditioning. I got a very good rate using Golf Now and a coupon I had for my birthday, making it less than $30 to play. I don't think I would pay more than $30 to play this, maybe not even $25 in the shape it is in right now.
