Tough but fair course

Plum Creek is not Pete Dye's tallest task, but it packs a punch. The greens always roll well even though the course gets tons of play. The staff is very professional. The course is pretty easy to walk. It is overpriced for what it is, but this is to be expected with north side golf. I always look forward to playing out here.

A tough but fair challenge

Plum Creek is an under appreciated course in Carmel. This Pete Dye design isn't as tricked up as some like the brickyard, but it offers all golfers a good challenge. Birdies can be made at plum creek, but there are lots of hazards to made double bogey or worse come into play. The course is in a beautiful neighborhood. The staff is always friendly and the accommodations are excellent. I think the course is overpriced for what it is, but this is north side golf so this is to be expected. I love playing Plum Creek, and the course is pretty easy to walk!

Some Small things

Obviously, with Covid, golf courses became a place of refuge. Thank goodness! Course had become somewhat overplayed although it held up well in what I'm sure was their business year ever. Hopefully, once Covid is back under control, Plum could make some small changes to improve play. First, watch the pace of play. Too many times this summer, major back-ups happened due to one slow foursome that never seemed to get pushed. No sense to have to take five hours for a round of golf, which happens too often. Second, put out some little signs on the course to "Fix Your Divot". Way too many divots never repaired and greens took a beating. Third, move the tee boxes with a little more frequency....some areas became way too beat up. Fourth, put some sand back in the bunkers. Too many bunkers had virtually NO sad in the 2nd half of the year.....and then make sure they are cleaned up each day. Just some thoughts....fun course, local course, always enjoy it!

Nice course

We liked the course including the layout and the greens and the pace of play was too slow, seemingly because of only 5 minute intervals between groups. I would love to see a ranger in the course as it usually is just one group that falls 2 or 3 holes behind and jams up the whole course like today, we had. foursome in front of us who were being held up on almost every hole by a group in front of them. Not sure. If a group was holding them up or not.

Excellent condition

This was my first time playing at Plum Creek and I was shocked I waited this long to get a round in there. The course is designed in a way that is very friendly to the golfer. Only lost 3 balls all round (two were off the same tee box lol). The difficulties rely on the golfer being consistent with ball striking more than the natural course challenges of other places I’ve played. Excited to go back and get some birdies!

Nice Course

Some of the fairways were hard but we haven't had much rain in weeks. Tee boxes and greens were in great shape.

Tee time from Golf now did not match what they had in their system so I was late. Staff was very friendly and got me in with another group.

great course, only one complaint...

Love the course, love the layout, love the greens, love the bar and food, only thing I really can complain about, most of the time 4 hours is not enough time to play 18 holes, and all too often, 5 hours is not enough. I would love to see a ranger in the course as it usually is just one group that falls 2 or 3 holes behind and jams up the whole course! like today, we had. foursome in front of us and, although they were pretty slow, they were being held up on almost every hole by a twosome in front of them!!! a TWOSOME!! by the 13-14 holes we realized this twosome had fallen a full two holes behind thr group in front of them that had teed off just 10 mins before they did.
