Pebble Brook Golf Club - South Course

I played the South course, and I have to say that playing the front and back were like playing two different courses. The front nine is unimpressive in both design and conditioning (fairways had bare spots and were kind of chunky). On the other hand, the back nine is in much better shape and a way more interesting golf experience. After being disappointed in the front side, I was unexpectedly delighted with the back. Despite being recently top dressed, the greens on both sides rolled really well.

As a first time player at Pebble Brook, I would have to say that I was slightly disappointed that there wasn't more information available to the golfer with regard to the layout of the course and individual holes. Lots of doglegs, so I had to go on a scouting mission on a number of holes to figure out where the greens were in relation to the tees or approaches. The GPS in the carts (yardages only), though, were big help and a nice addition.

I picked up a last minute deal for a great rate on the South Course. Upon my arrival, the staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. I ended up playing the North Course for two reasons. First, there was a high school match being played on the South Course and second, they had just aerated the greens a few days before. Also, the staff mentioned that the North course wasn't busy and I shouldn't have any trouble getting the round in before dark.

The course itself was in excellent condition. The greens were firm and a little bumpy from being aerated the week before, but they were definitely playable. Fairway grass was in good condition for a late summer round and the rough was, well, rough - thick and fairly deep in spots.

The course offers electric carts that include a GPS system that indicates yardage to the front, middle and back of the greens as well as yardage to various hazards on the hole. Cart paths are in good shape overall. However, if you prefer to walk, the layout makes for a great day walking.

Just a note for those of you who like to grab a snack or drink at the turn - this course does not come home after hole 9. There are, however, restrooms and a soda machine between 9 and 10 out on the course.

Course was generally in fair shape. Fairways OK to sparse. Greens had just been aerated (but not rolled) and we were NOT warned of this when we made our reservation. Those bumpy aerated greens made putting an adventure.
Most of the sand traps were bad. Very little sand and several had large (3+") rocks scattered in them. Not pebbles- these were small ROCKS that could easily damage a club or even pose risk of personal injury (e.g. to hands/wrists from striking one or being hit by one inadvertently launched during an explosion shot). IMHO- Absolutely no excuse for not having these strained out of the bunker sand.
Obviously pace of play depends on the specific day, but we waited literally every single hole and saw NO marshals while we were there.

I did not buy any food or drinks so not fair of me to grade that part. Course was in over all good shape water features where beautiful!

I enjoyed the course with my sons. It was in great shape. We had breathing room for most of the round. Staff was friendly and courteous-- very important to me.

Great Course. Always in great condition. Almost always has a great rate of play. Staff is awesome. I love Pebble Brook. I personally recommend the South Course, but either are good.

Fun and challenging with some great doglegs. This course has been around for many years and they maintain it nicely. Great course for the money.

Course tees and rough and in great condition. Greens need lots of work to get a more true roll. Fairways need thicker grass.

Having 36 holes available to play opens up both courses. Two of us rode and played the South course in 2 hours and 50 minutes. Really enjoyed it and will return.

I played 18 holes in under 2 hours. People were friendly and the greens were true.

Weather looked like it might rain but never did. No group behind us until the 18th. Course and greens were in good condition.

Great staff! I am an amputee and they make me feel welcome every round! I actually was able to play 18 with my prosthetic on and shot 85 and had a bird. I playing the North course today.

Overall layout is great and presents a fair challenge. Bunkers, however, were nearly unplayable.

Went to check in for the tee time and staff was rude, acting like we bothered them. Snack bar was slow and question legality of my I.d. and told me that I needed a new license to not confuse them. Pace of play was fairly slow and course conditions were fair. Overall a pretty poor experience however.

Overall a good course, but it could be better. I have seen this course in better shape than it was in yesterday. Unfortunately, my biggest complaint is that there was no urgency whatsoever for people to maintain any pace of play. I spent most of the first six hole stuck behind three foursomes and another twosome, and NONE of them were willing to let me through. (I was playing by myself.) Finally, after spending more time sitting in my cart waiting for the people in front of me to get clear than actually playing golf, I decided to jump ahead where I could play at a faster pace and then come back and play 7 and 8 at the end of my round. My game had stopped and started so much at that point that I played horrible and just packed up and went home after the 12th hole. I've played this course numerous times in the past, but it is MUCH more enjoyable during the week. :(

Tee off at 10:30am as a single and passed a group on the third hole and then had the course to myself. Proshop is stocked up and staff is friendly. I think having younger people behind the cash register is a pleasant change from the cranky old man I get at Gray Eagle Golf Club.

My only complaint that I have have with this place time and time again is how slow the snack bar is. Nobody in line and no body behind the counter and then they take so long to ring up a coke.

I am used to playing countless courses in sunny South Florida but was recently visiting the Indianapolis area and was treated to this gem. I can see without hesitating that this course and it's staff trumped every course I have played down here.

The new owner was EXTREMELY personable and it is obvious he has great plans for Pebble Brook's future.

Can't wait to play this course again!

Pebble Brook is a great course. Beautiful layout and always in good condition. Staff is always friendly and accommodating!

We had to wait over 10 minutes before someone came to the check in desk. There was another gentleman waiting there as well. Finally, a UPS driver came in and located someone to sign for a delivery. Once on the course, we had a bit of confusion as to where the tees were by color. Blue tees were mixed up with the white ones. On three tees, the marker blocks were off to the side of the tee box (red tees). On one tee, we had to move up to Gold because the sprinklers were turned on where the Blue and White tees were. We did play fast, only having to allow two singles to play through. Other than that, a pretty uneventful round

The course was in good shape considering no much rain. I haven,t played this course in many years. The trees have grown and some changes make it more enjoyable to play and more challenging.
