Beautiful and Challenging

Well worth the 25 minute drive to play this course. Always can expect a challenge to play each hole, but that is what I like. The condition of the course is always good. The landscaping and beautiful flowers are always pleasing. I feel this is good course for women. I do wish there was a restroom or two on the course.

OUTSTANDING,, (But not a links style course)

As my title states this is not a links style course as stated in the course description, but thats okay, because the quality of this track would make any golfer forget all about that. Sand bunkers are manicured to perfection and the greens are 2nd to non!!

Great value and staff friendliness and worth the drive from anywhere in the state. Nice job RH staff!!

Great layout and staff!!!

The course layout was nice with elevation changes, blind tee shots, and a great mix of length. Played on a Thursday at 230 and it still was packed but finished in 3 hours. Would play again!!!

Worth the time and money

Nice mix of short and long par 4's. Great layout with some elevation changes. Took 3 hrs 45 min for a foursome starting at 4:25. Would play again. Only thing is the greens are a little bumpy but it was late in the day, it happens.

Fantastic Course

This is far and away my favorite course. Every time I play it, there's a new challenge on a different hole. They're all set up fairly, so if you're shooting well, you can definitely score pars and birdies. However, there's enough trouble to trip you up if you are off target.

Given that many courses in the area were closed due to the huge amounts of rain we've had in Central Indiana, Royal Hylands was in fantastic shape.

The staff is always very helpful and friendly.

wet but wonderful

course from tee to green was in magnificent shape, despite heavy recent rains and "cart path only". Kudus to management and maintenance crew for outstanding job in keeping course open. Had not played course in about 15 years and was surprised with the new fairways. Look forward to playing again, despite the 50 mile drive. This course is a really nice piece of property and layout.

Outstanding bang for the buck

Royal Hylands may be central Indiana's best kept golf secret. For the money, it may be the best deal around. You may have to drive a little further to get to this course. But the low green fees will offset the gas cost. The course is always in excellent condition, and the staff is friendly. But this course is not for the faint of heart. This is one tough course with tight fairways and extremely fast and difficult greens. If you can't handle a challenge, you should go somewhere else.

great course challenging yet very playable

second time playing this course and love it. if i lived closer i would join. course in very good to excellent condition. only issue we had is they put sand on greens as we were playing so just a little slower than they would normally be. course isn't very long but some difficult greens make up for it. staff nice, snack lady nice, other players were nice. great experience.

nice course!

This is a really nice course! The staff is unbelievably friendly, going out of there way, making sure that I enjoyed my time there. I live just outside Philadelphia and expected a very flat, uneventful, Golf Course. the front 9 is the exact opposite. The hills made me feel like I was nowhere near the Midwest. Course conditions were outstanding! I would definitely go back!
