Rating Snapshot
About
Opened in 1998, this Pete Dye design has hosted several high-level college and professional golf tournaments while simultaneously serving thousands of enthusiastic amateur golfers throughout greater Indianapolis and beyond. With five sets of tees ranging from just under 7,000 yards to just over 5,000, Plum Creek is playable by all golfers. Several ponds and a winding stream come into play throughout the course, placing a premium on smart play, all while minimizing the need for forced carries for higher-handicap players.

Great round
Enjoyed round very much. Watch greens - very hard and tough to keep ball on them!!
Hi ghbrown31. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Plum Creek Golf Club.
Great Day and Great Round
The course was in excellent condition and the layout of the course, the difficulty level and beauty of the course were all outstanding. Well worth the money. Will definitely be back.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating, GerryJDail! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Plum Creek Golf Club!
This was my first time playing Plum Creek after wanting to play it for the last couple of years. Overall, the tee boxes and fairways were in incredible shape. I only had a couple of complaints about the course: 1) the greens look healthy, but rolled really slow. My brother-in-law and I had issues all day getting the speed of the greens down. They looked like they should roll a lot faster. 2) More yardage markers on the course would be extremely helpful for people who don't play here often. Either that, or GPS in the carts. Other than that, really enjoyed the layout and will definitely be playing here again this summer!

First time playing - excellent condition!
I played in a foursome on Saturday 5/30. We teed off at 4PM and while the course was busy we never felt rushed and never had to wait to tee off. The course was in SUPERB condition. This was my first round since corona virus so it was nice to get outside and get a round in. I was able to hit a bucket of balls and get in some putting practice prior to our round, which is always nice.
The weather was perfect.
One small gripe is the amount of tall fescue type grass that is around the course specifically around the greens. I hit two balls that landed on the green and rolled into the tall grass and it is extremely difficult to find once it is in there unless you get lucky. With that said, I decided how to approach certain shots because of that, which adds to the challenge which, in my opinion, is a good thing. Our foursome was able to finish 18 in about 3:45.
Staff in the pro-shop was friendly and helpful. I bought a new glove and some tees. Downstairs in the bar I had some homemade trail mix (the addition of dried bananas is a revelation!) and packed up a 6 pack of white claws.
I would love to come back again - thanks!

Great course
Challenging enough to keep it entertaining but still open enough for the average golfer. Will be coming back.

Nice course; poor staff
Course is nice to play but staff was not friendly and very slow checking in.
Hello, u000005238317. Thanks for the review. We see you rated the course 1-star. We take single star feedback very seriously at our course. We always appreciate the feedback. Please reach out to our team in the golf shop. Thank you for playing Plum Creek Golf Club.
Nice course, nice people
I would say this is a great place to play if you are interested in having a nice easy round. It is hard to lose a ball in the front 9, if you are too aggressive on the back it can punish you. Well, kept and forgiving in general, the rough is tough but fair - don't try to blast out with a hybrid, it will grab that club. Some greens are challenging in a good way.
If I have a complaint, it is that the on course information is severely lacking. If I hadn't been playing with a resident, I'd have had a hard time knowing where to go for the next tee. For 70 bucks, I'd expect at least a 150 yard marker, but distance markers are non-existent.

Hello, coltsrule42. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Fairways in great shape!
The course is green, lush, and well-manicured! Fantastic overall. The greens were a bit slow compared to normal, presumably in part due to the recent aeration - expect greens to be in great shape in a couple of days.

Nice water hazard setups
This time of the year greens still have aeration holes so keep that in mind, besides that good condition for time of the year. Clubhouse and facilities were closed due to covid so I can’t comment on any of those things

Great Course!
Great course in Carmel. Course conditions were great and pin placement was somewhat friendly. The deep rough was well, rough. Challenging yet fun.

No tee markers?
I understand it is January and you don’t normally get a lot of play this time of year. But, when you get a couple of weekend days in the 50’s you should know you are going to get some activity. There were no tee markers on the tee boxes. So you just had to guess where you should play from. This course has some holes that are very tricky to find. Better markings on WHERE the next hole is would be nice. Generally the course was in pretty good shape. The greens were pretty shaggy, but I guess that is to be expected in January.
Underwhelmed
Course layout was just ok for the Dye courses I have played. Conditions were great for a winter round. The problem I had was the very poor pace of play and the fact that I was forced to play with someone else whose golf etiquette was horrible. I would have loved to rate the course higher but too many things were not up to snuff.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Plum Creek Golf Club. We hope to see you again in the future.

Great day with wife and college buddy
Everything about this place is excellent. The only thing possible negative is lazy golfers not fixing ball marks on green not fault of golf course. We will be back6
