Pricey, but great course

One of the best layouts in our city and is in great early condition. Staff could be friendlier and price is a bit steep for Indy.

Great course, poor pace of play

We were told when we checked in we probably wouldn’t get more than 14 holes in even though we had 4 hours from tee time to sunset. I questioned what their pace of play was and they said 4.5 hours and they didn’t care of fast we played. I understand the course is full but they had a ranger going around but he wasn’t enforcing pace. As we left we asked the group on 18 their tee time and they said 3 pm meaning it took them close to 5 hours.

The course itself is great but could be ran better.

Best court in Indiana!

I cut my teeth on this course back in the 80’s. It was tough then. Mr Dye has made it even tougher!

In my opinion it’s my “Augusta.”

Come play it, keep it in the short grass!
