Lucas Oil Golf Course

This course has greatly improved since taken over by Lucas Oil and should continue getting better. They are working diligently to replace the bermuda grass lost from the harsh winter. They are currently redoing the sand traps that have not been playable in the past. This should be one of the better courses in the area when improvments are completed. Enjoy!

A fun challenging course with its scenic drives from green to tee on some holes.

Course is still recovering from harsh winter and spring rains but is now in pretty good shape. Greens are very nice -- a few fairways still have some rough spots; overall pretty nice. We always enjoy playing this course. Front 9 very flat, back 9 very hilly -- but all 18 are a challenge. Back 9 still has a number of bunkers that are unfilled (front 9 bunkers are very nice). Lucas continues to put $$'s into this course -- it's going to be very nice by next year.

A "thinking" course -- you'll probably get to hit every club in the bag. High;y recommend playing if you're in the area.

A great place to play good value for your money friendly people in the clubhouse

Played this course last year and after reading bad reviews thought that the course was in good shape and was fun to play.
The bad reviews were right on this time.
Some of the tee boxes were closed, a lot of the fairways needed a lot of attention.
But for $10 for 18 holes riding I wouldn't complain much.

Being in Louisville (about 1 hour 20 minutes away) and knowing the Lucas name is associated with higher end products, we thought we would give this course a try. BIG MISTAKE. To start with the tee boxes were filled with crab grass and uneven, then the fairways were in such a state of disrepair that it was safer to hit in the rough. We finished the first nine holes in about 1 1/2 hours (having to play hole 4 TWICE due to hole 7 being closed, more on that later). We made the turn and teed off. We get to our second shots and see the green, BUT NO FLAG. There is a hole cut, but no flag anywhere to be seen. Hole 11 is a par 3 and we ride to it and notice no flag again! We then proceed to backtrack to the clubhouse and ask if the back nine is open to which we get a resounding NO. What makes it even worse is that the same person that checked us in was the one that told us the back nine was closed. You would think that sort of information should be told to golfers as they head out. So we decided to go ahead and mess around on the front nine again. All said and done there were a total of 8 holes YES EIGHT HOLES available to ply from an 18 hole course, and even the holes that were open should probably be closed for repair. VERY unsatisfied and would STAY FAR AWAY if you want to play golf.

Need rain. It was a hot day. Everyone was friendly. I want to go back again soon.

This course while having an interesting layout needs a lot of work. Maybe next year things will be different

Really had a good time-Green's were excellent-Fairways needed a little work but very fun course to play and will go back

I played this course a few years ago and said I'd never play it again but, with the Lucas Oil name and website, it had to be better, right? Only thing better was the cart paths and newer carts, same horrible ground keeper and management staff.
I played this course in late June 2014, the fairways and tee boxes had more bare dirt than grass, the greens were painted to make them look good and to top it off, the staff was not very pleasant. I don't know what tie Lucas Oil has but, it definitely is notting to be proud of. I think it's more a watering hole for area residence than a golf course, and the staff seems to match that.
I've played lesser priced course hat were twice as nice as this one.

Not sure what affiliation Forrest Lucas or Lucas Oil has with this course, but I would distance myself immediately. However, whoever is responsible for Marketing this course is a genius. I don't think I will ever golf at this course again and I would not recommend to anyone, if I don't like them. The punishment would be cruel and unusual. I get with a hard winter, Southern Indiana fairways have taken a beating. However, barren dirt Tee Boxes are unacceptable. Water Cooler boxes missing a cooler, but filled with empty cups is like visiting the gas station to buy a new tank you can't fill with gas. The big question is, where did the money go? My advise, Run Forrest, Run!

The course was a big change from the last time I played it, they have paved cart paths all around, have some great greens, have basically spruced the course up all over. It is in good condition, the fairways and tees need some work, but the weather should help that out. The effort to make this a nice place to play is paying off. Go play it and be surprised

I don't know if its just because it was early in the year or what but the course was in terrible shape. NONE of the bunkers had any sand, they were just dirt or mud. All fairways were 90% dormant. The greens were OK, but very firm.

Staff was very busy and not very professional, but prices at the bar for food and drinks were cheap and everything we had there was good. I'd maybe go back later in the summer, but I wouldn't pay full price ever.

The people were very friendly and the golf course was in good condition. The scenery around the course was beautiful as well. I will definitely go back.

There are no fairways. Just muddy lanes. No grass. It's May 1st.

The greens are amazing.

Dr. Hurdzan (the architect) needs to pay them to get his name off it! I'm sure his original design had promise, but it's barely playable now. Ruts everywhere, weeds galore. I could go on and on but why? Just stay away; even free golf there would be a ripoff. To be fair I will say this: they are renovating the clubhouse and improving the cart paths and there was evidence of reworking the traps. Personally, I would have started with the tee boxes, fairways, greens and rough. Oh well, it's their money.

Cart paths recently paved and bunkers are being upgraded
now[winter 2011-2012] , by spring course should be in great shape. Also the course is a challenge to any level golfer
so bring your A game.
