Indian Springs Golf Club in Middlefield has been owned and operated by the same family since it first opened in 1964. With a terrain of rolling, tree-covered hills, the course is as scenic as it is fun to play. The nine-hole layout is player friendly enough to appeal to players of all skill levels and there is an alternate set of tees to play an 18-hole round. Though many of the fairways are wide and forgiving, there are a few tricky blind shots that will test your accuracy. The par-5 second hole is one of the most memorable. It leads you uphill before plummeting downhill to a green protected by three sand traps. Indian Springs Golf Club's second par 5, the tree-lined fifth hole, is also notably tricky. The fairway edges along mature forests, leading to a sharp dogleg right downhill to the green, which is surrounded by trees.

Protecting the par-5 second hole are some large greenside traps. The woods on the left can be a permanent habitation for golf balls. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/20/2024

Some may call the short, par-3 second deceptively tough. I would say it also looks pretty difficult from the tee. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/20/2024

Short but threatening, the narrow sixth hole is a test of accuracy. Here is a view of the approach to the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/20/2024

Hole eight, at only 363 yards, ranks as the #1 index here. The uphill approach to the green is only one reason why. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/06/2023

It may be a short-and-sweet par-4, but hole nine retains the feel of a classic finishing hole. A massive bunker, hidden from view here, defends the approach. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/06/2023

I Recommend This Course
Rolling fast and true
The greens at Indian Springs are rolling fast and true...just the way I like them. The course always challenges you to be a shot maker and makes you take your medicine when you hit a bad shot.. The staff is always friendly and the beer choices are always numerous. Because of all of these things I keep coming back.

Great course!
Course is great shape; there’s a driving range with aiming points and also has a card reader for your convenience. They also have a chipping practice area and a putting green so be sure to get there early because at this course you can practice all aspects of the game before tee off! Grill and Bar are also open and have some great options to satisfy all ages!

Nice little layout
Nice 9 hole course, because of that pace of play is a bit slow. Should have a bell on second and 5th hole to let know when clear. Greens were cut nice and very challenging. Not sure of the food but they did have beer. Lol

Nicely run and neat course
I love this course and this was about the 10th time playing. The course looks better than the surrounding bigger courses right now. This course doesn't present too many challenges if you can hit a relatively straight iron. Greens are in great shape given that its March 17th! You can tell the owners care. The is an excellent place to play a relaxing 9 holes. Great views and elevation changes you'd expect on a shorter course. Can't wait to play my next 9 in a few days!
