Indian Springs Golf Club

The majority seem to walk this scenic and hilly course. Since I am not a mountain goat, I rented a cart. Very challenging layout especially if playing for the first time. At check-in, a staff member provided a hole-by-hole tutorial of where you don’t’ want to hit it with explanation and illustrations drawn on the scorecard course map, which was greatly appreciated once our round was underway. I played with my son, and we were paired up with another delightful father and son. It was a great time and great day!

Extremely well maintained golf course that has plenty of challenges. Scenic views, friendly staff and a nice restaurant for after golf festivities.

Nice course and obviously well maintained by staff. Probably played by new or discourteous golfers as bunkers not raked and pitch marks not repaired on greens; not uncommon on public courses. I did play late in the day so we saw the effects of a full day of play.

Indian Springs presents a solid test of nine-hole golf, where you can get in a quick round, usually, and enjoy some definite challenges, particularly around the sloping, fast greens. Every hole has its problems to overcome on the way to making a par. My game is rusty lately (having played very little), so the course clearly brought out my weaknesses today, which were short game, short game, and short game. End up in the wrong places around these greens, and you will pay a price–usually in the form of a quick bogey (see my earlier reviews for course details).

Conditions:

Good overall. Excellent greens and tees, good fairways and roughs. Some of the fringes were iffy in places. Bunkers fine. The course does get a lot of play.
