Excellent Course

Great course. Front plays easier than the back. 12 has to be one of the most challenging holes around. Staff is always super friendly.

My friend and I played just to get out of the house. We did not keep score. We just went out and had a fun day. The course was in great shape. The whole staff was super friendly. We will definitely go again.

Great value

The front 9 is fairly mediocre with a couple good holes. The back 9 really elevates the course and has a lot of great looking and more challenging holes. All in a great play and great value for the price

Wow!!

Very friendly staff. Front nine was a bit tight, pace was a little slow. Once we got through to the back nine all log jams were cleared. The back nine was so freaking fantastic!!! What a delight for us. Lots of hills and perfect greens with so much slope. A little French Lick!

Two different courses

The front nine is like any cheap municipal golf course. Back and forth, back and forth and you can't get into trouble on the inside. However, the back nine is a completely different course. It is not the same quality as French Lick, but it is like they plucked it from there and dropped it in Elwood.

Great Shape!

Played this course many times. Course is in great shape, staff is always friendly and tee times are generally available. If you haven't given this place a try you need to.

Front nine is basic and not a real challenge but the back nine ate my lunch.
