Course has really gone downhill

Third or fourth time playing here. Used to love it here, but conditions and upkeep has really diminished. Poor markers around sand trips to indicate, unkept tee boxes, and the greens are atrocious! Due to all the black tar/cracked conditions on the green, the pin locations are right up front or in random valleys between two hills on the green. Some placements felt like putt putt trick hole courses. Disappointed how much this place has been neglected

Course needs work - but the layout is fantastic

The greens and fairways were in dire need of repair. Perhaps they had a tough summer? So many bare patches and spots with no grass on the greens.

Aside from the bare patches and massive amounts of unpatched divots, the layout of the course is fantastic! A ton of well-placed bunkers, water hazards, and other obstacles definitely made it challenging. A few short par 4s made it tempting to try and squeeze an extra 50 yrs out of my driver.

I won’t likely play again there this year; hopefully their groundskeepers can get things back in shape for next season.

Conditions are bad bad

To be honest. This is arguably the worst conditions I have ever seen. Ever green has burn spots/disease spots that are about 10’x10’, tee boxes are just straight sand - no grass, fair ways are mostly weeds. Could be such a beatiful course due to the layout and mature trees but the entire course needs to be ripped up and new sod laid.

I love the layout, but the course condition was not good. I play here at least 2-4 times a year and the back nine was bad overall … tee boxes, greens and fairways. Front nine was alittle better.

The carts did not look clean… 2 still had garbage in them.

Staff was very friendly and very helpful when we had carts issues.

Rough

The course layout was really good. But large portions of fairways have no grass because no sprinklers. Greens were really good. With the rain we have had the bald areas and all the sand traps were unplayable. Club house staff could not have been friendlier.

Great First Impression - Some small issues

Overall, this would rank as one of my favorite public courses around Indianapolis. Challenging holes in a lot of different ways, not always length. Thin fairways, hitting over water, bunkers, etc. Course seemed quite challenging and then ended with 4-5 scoring holes which made for a very fun finish. Only big downside is there is a lot of dead grass on the greens, but the pin locations made it so it didn’t affect play much.
