Course Highlights
The course layout is creative and challenging, with Cool Creek weaving throughout both nines and well-maintained fairways and greens consistently impressing recent players. Exceptionally friendly staff and a fantastic practice facility make this an outstanding value for golfers visiting the area.

Due to poor staff I’d play anywhere else

This place is ran so poorly. They need new management and a staff that actually cares about their job. Restrooms are non existent on the course. They also close the clubhouse way before people are even done golfing which is mind blowing to me. If people are out there golfing and it’s day light your employees should be working. Save your money and don’t support golf courses who treat their customers like this.

Rain threatened, but held off

Great afternoon/ eve of golf. Somewhat humid, but not bad. Good pace of play. No waiting in front or behind. Some blind holes, water hazards and trees kept it challenging but fun.

Nice course, overhyped/overpriced

Rack rate is $63 for this course. Its a $40 course. It was in good shape. I really like the layout, and the staff was very friendly. Greens rolled true. It was fairly easy, but offered some challenging holes. Lots of places to lose golf balls. Nice practice greens. I can see potential for a very slow round here, but we played a twilight. I'd play it again.

Fun Course

Played the front nine (wish we had time for a full 18!) and had a great time. We thought the course had interesting holes with mature trees and creek winding through several holes. Will differently come back in future.

Very Loud Maintenance Machines Everywhere

Very loud tractors and blowers throughout the entire 14 holes I payed today. I stopped on hole 14, as it wasn't worth trying to play, with the loud distractions!. When voicing my concern to the young man at the desk he, said, "well we have to maintain it sometime". His manager came out and did not help or say a word. Very poor customer service! Therefore; the 1 rating!

One of the worst courses I've ever played

This course features a terrible routing which at times can be confusing where to go for the next hole. In addition, it has a cart with a GPS system which 90% of the time just warns you to avoid construction or to be near the cart path instead of showing you distance.

The course is well maintained, but has larger issues with poor pace of play, a teenage staff that doesn't care, and a routing that is terrible. If you're going to spend Carmel-type money on a course, there are plenty of better options. If you want a cheaper course that's nice, consider literally any of the munis in Indy, you'll have a better time.

Brookshire - best golf value in Carmel

This course has it all for a great price. The course is in great shape led by a dedicated Greenskeeper - Bob. It has a variety of holes and hazards so it is challenging as evidenced by the amount of golf balls to be found. Creeks run through out. Lots of wild life (deer, hawks) and protected habitats. A new club house and set of pools is being built. Hope they do not raise greens fees. Still affordable for retirees.

Fun layout with some challenging shots

Top line: Brookshire is a good municipal course with a lot of interesting holes

Overall Brookshire is a good course. Apparently it was a private course that since been bought by the City of Carmel. Most of the holes are interesting and require a decent amount of ‘shot making’, but there are a few holes on the front that are fairly straightforward. Conditions were just fine, clubhouse is a little underwhelming.

Bottom line: a fun track that I would recommend to play.

Glad they have made some improvements

Have played Brookshire numerous times, have always thought it needed manicured. Was glad to see they have taken down some trees to improve hole 7, and distances on the Golfcarts really helps. Fun course to play if your hitting it straight, and worth the trip . Condition was nice , course is always a challenge .

Course in Great Condition

When lots of courses are drying out, Brookshire is in great condition. Greens were soft yet fast and fairways lush. Would definitely recommend this Course for a good time.

Great deal with discounted play

Had a nice round of golf on Saturday. The weather was perfect and the course was in really great shape. The starter that was at the 1st and 9 th tees could not have been any nicer and helpful. He was apologizing for the slow play, when in fact we finished 18 in less than 3 1/2 hours. So slow play wasn't a factor even though there are numerous places to lose and look for golf balls. Lots of tricky holes so I think my score should improve my next round there.

Not sure I would want to pay full price to play. Keep looking for specials.

This course may be for you, but it is not for me.

I am not a fan of how this course is designed. A lot of blind shots, a lot very odd tee boxes that allow for only a small view of the fairway, a lot of little things that added up to this course not being an enjoyable experience. If this course was in great shape I would recommend it, but as it stands, this course is not worth the price. Hole 17's green was so ate up that it was tempting to chip a 15 foot putt. Hole 18 was littered with balls from the driving range. These balls must not have been picked up all day, because at 5 o clock, there were 10 range balls on the green and dozens more surrounding it and on the fairway. All in all, if this course was managed better it becomes worth the money, but in no way is it worth what they are charing at the present time, and they are not charging much.
