Fall Golf

The staff was pleasant and it was not crowded so we were able to tee off before our tee time. Tee boxes were not in good shape and some of the fairways had uneven grass, but the greens were the best I have seen there in a few years. They had just aerated them so putting was slow.. I do enjoy the layout of the course.

Very cool layout

Very nice track. Overall was in pretty good shape for this time of year. A few bare spots on greens, but I would not let that deter you from playing as it is a very cool layout. I will be going back!

Conditions still 4/10

Greens are soft and fluffy, worse than putting on carpet. Lot of pitch marks, fixed 3-4 per hole and didn’t leave a dent. Fairways in good shape, price is fair for the area, but for the course it’s a little high. Tee boxes in awful shape, and there are tree branches dropping down into tee shot windows on a couple holes

Could be good but needs investment

This course has a lot of potential but seems like the owner has given up. Most greens were borderline unplayable and bunkers were pretty much concrete. It has a good setup and some decently challenging holes but not sure how quickly I will be paying to play it again.

Ugh

The awful reviews of this course are spot on…GUR on several greens. I understand we haven’t had much rain but this looks like a course that is up for sale, very little maintenance. Came to practice for a tournament next week, they should be embarrassed to host. Aside from the course conditions, no starter on a Saturday morning means your tee time was worthless. Started late, and no ranger meant pace of play was subpar. A few clown holes too…7 is a forced layup which is fine, but the tree in direct line of your second from the fairway is putt putt design. Par 3 eighth hole is short, but trees overgrown on both sides means punching s short iron up the hill. They do have a great Golden Retriever roaming around, but no one seems to pick up his deuces! Just a terrible experience…this course will be a housing development in the near future.

Will be my last time coming to the course. Wow it has gone downhill and fast. Greens were the worst of any course I’ve ever played. Unacceptable, especially for the $45 they charge. Every single green was pretty much unplayable. Never seen anything like it before.

Greens are in terrible shape

Some of the worst condition greens I have seen in the northern part of Indianapolis. The roughs were overly long...this is not a US Open Course. Hole placement on the greens was ridiculous unless the course was set up for perhaps a scramble, but not for individual golfers. The greens were abysmally slow and given the hole placement always seemingly unreasonably close to a corner of the green on far too many holes, the round was anything but enjoyable.
