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.

Fantastic

I've played the course in the past and I've always enjoyed it. On this visit, the conditions were absolutely awesome! Best shape I've ever seen it actually. I'll definitely be back and I recommend this course highly.

Golf Now deal

Decided to play after seeing a Golfniw offer the night before. 18 hole fee was $31 with cart. Fairways and greens in best shape I've ever seen here. Bunkers a little ragged around the edges and could use some work. Broken down cart paths are dusty.... Had to wash my bag afterwards. City of Carmel's only city owned course deserves better. Kudos to the greenskeeper however for the fairway and greens condition on an obviously limited budget.

A gem

First time to play the course in over 10 years, because the condition of some greens had been poor.....but not now. Course maintenance greatly improved. The efforts are showing. This course is a gem that was thankfully "saved" by the city. I will seek this course out now as it was a pleasure to have played.

Great fun course

It is always good to get out and play this course every year. There are some tough challenging holes and some fun straight forward ones. The old trees on the course prove some good defense.

Great day at a nice course. Everything was just fine, including their NEW golf carts.
One problem, mowing. The mowers get too close for comfort!

Great Lay Out

Course was in great shape despite rain over the last couple days.Greens had a lot of grass clippings on them which made putting difficult.
Im sure that was do to weather conditions so that would not prevent me from returning.
I will definetly be back when weather is better.
Staff was great.
Thanks golf now for great deal

Great place for golf!!!

I remember playing here as a kid in the 90's, and at that time this course was about the worst I had ever seen. I went back and played here again on a friend's recommendation and his promise that I wouldn't be disappointed. Wow, was he right! I couldn't believe I was playing on the same golf course! The staff is friendly, the facility is clean. And as far as the course itself goes, I've NEVER seen it in this nice of condition. The way it is being maintained could just about make it pass for a PGA course. It's very challenging, long (almost 7000 yards, which I enjoy), TONS of obstacles, a very cool layout in a great neighborhood, and an overall very relaxing, peaceful atmosphere. A perfect place to play golf! And all for a spectacular price!!!

Good challenging course

This course was good value for the Carmel area. The course was well maintained and the course provided an indepth score card for each hole. The score card had easy to find landmarks to help determine distance.

Good value; well-maintained; there are a few creeks to lose balls

My friend and I rode 18 in May. The driving range could be a bit wider and we should have brought a ball retriever for some of the balls we lost in the creeks, especially on the front 9. There were a few times when our balls got pretty close to the houses and backyards on certain holes. Nice course overall, beautiful mature trees (especially the sycamores on the southeast corner of the course). There are more pristine courses in Carmel, but it's hard to beat the prices at Brookshire, particularly through Golfnow.

Well-drained despite the rain.

Although two inches of rain had fallen over the previous 36 hours, the creek did its job. Some spots on graveled sections of cart path were wet, but the greens were fine and only a few areas of fairway were mushy. The leaf-blower drivers had done their job. This is an interesting and well maintained course.

Great course

Fairways and greens in great shape. Only issue we had was trouble finding balls with all the leaves. A must play for any golfer in Indy.

This course is challenging and a must play for skilled players. Several elevated greens make for tough approach shots. Well groomed tees and fairways. This is NOT your typical course layout, as it has doglegs and split fairways which definately challenged your fades and hooks. Great course!!

Great course for great value

While the course is very tight and not very forgiving most holes, its was a very fun challenging course to play. If you don't place ball in fairway you are guarenteed to lose a shot on that hole. Greens were lightning fast and challenging. course in great shape, staff doing its best to keep leaves off the course as staff was out throughout my round mowing and keeping fairways and greens cleared. Staff very friendly and professional. Thouroughly enjoyed the experience will absolutely go back and play the course again

Great Deal for a Great Course!

Course is playing in great condition given the late season. Everything was well mowed and staff was very friendly. You cannot beat the price for this course. Bunkers were raked, greens looked nice, and fairways were maintained. I really enjoyed the round.

Dreadfully slow and crowded

Course has a nice degree of challenge, and was in overall good condition. However, the pace of play was horrid! Our round took 5 1/2 hours to play, and only on the last 3 holes did the group behind us have to wait...so we were not the slow ones! Holes are very close to one another, and we started counting how many times we heard someone yell "fore"! We reached 15 by the time we got to #18. That is a lot of "fore"!
Given the vast number of courses in the area, I do not envision playing Brooskshire again. Sorry!
