About
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.

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

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

This course is great for beginners
Took my 15 year old son and 12 year old neighbor on a Wednesday at 1pm. Hot and humid day and only a few golfers on the course at the time. Course conditions were excellent for this old 9 hole course that I've been coming to for 40+ years. Had a great time. Great for beginners but so much better than playing an executive type course.
Cheap 9
This isn't a bad course if you are a beginner or looking for a very inexpensive round. The conditions are well below average and the pace is mezmorizingly slow. The greens were a mess and fairways were burnt. For $20, go have some fun.
Indian Springs, Great Course
Fun course, grounds well taken care of ,def recommend
Average
Nice course but due to over booking it took way to long to play 9 holes of golf, could have played 18 in the time it took to play 9. If this wasn't the case it would be a good course I would go back too. The course was nice, everything else was average
awsome course
Very fun and challenging, would definitely play again. Staff was great and very friendly
Nice Course
3,000 yards course, two long challenging par 5s, nice location. Just decided to be playing once every week in this golf course.
Good Value
Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Course was is very good condition. Very hilly with line of sight challenges on many holes. Overall a very good value and a course I would go back to.
Excellent place for 9 holes
Played here several times with my son. Its a well maintained easier course perfect for beginners and nice enough to keep good players interested
Fantastic value
Course in very good condition, favors a fade off the tee, beautiful views. Greens roll very well.
This course is in excellent shape
The fairways are in perfect shape and the greens putt true with moderate pace. The undulating greens are a challenge to putt but add to the difficulty of the course. Weather was great and I played as a 2-some. Recommend taking a cart as walking the hills may be tough for some.
Great views
Course was in great shape, great views, the hills can be a challenge
9 hole Gem
Played this course with my family recently and had a great time. Pace of play was a bit slow. Overall course was in great shape considering the terrible winter we had. Course has a little of everything for every type of golfer. Would recommend to anyone. With the great deal from Golf Now we will definitely be back again.
Challenging
A beautiful 9 hole course. Very large tricky greens. Course is in great shape. The greens make the course, like #4. You'd better do a 360 look at your putt, when in doubt hit it straight. Friendly staff, great shape, challenging course, what more could you ask for?
hidden gem
Personal favorite -while the "serious" golfers prefer nearby Lyman Meadows quite a few loyalists like this shorter track. Quite hilly and not that long it has a good variation ane the views in the fall- outstanding. A bit pricey but you can get deals at numerous websites that make it a great deal. Clientele seems loyal and not hard partying as at lots of public courses. Family run , warm and the food is excellent.
