The Trophy Club

A hidden gem in the northern suburbs of Indianapolis! Awesome course. Friendly staff and extremely well maintained.

The course in itself, very challenging. There are at least three holes with sharp doglegs to the left. This course is not about a powerful tees, it is about strategic placement of your tee shot for most holes.

Several of the greens are tricky... If you overshoot some of the greens, you can consider your ball lost, since the re is either water or a sharp drop to thick grass or bushes.

Reasonably priced for the quality of play, regardless of you skill level.

A picture perfect fall day: sunny, 75-80 degrees, light wind. The greens had just been aerated, but they were still in great shape. Unlike many courses, Trophy Club did not spread too much sand, so the greens were very puttable, just maybe not quite as lightning fast as they usually are. Things got a little backed up on the back 9, but I still finished in just under 4 hours. I like the variety of holes. This is definitely a thinking man’s course, as there are some hazards that aren’t always obvious from the tee and there are definitely right place to miss the greens and places you don’t want to go at all costs. So I am learning how to play it and enjoying it more each time by learning from my past mistakes!

The course was really nice, but it was so windy that it made it very challenging and almost no fun at times. In addition, the round took 5 hours and 40 minutes, which is by far the longest round of golf I have ever played! Liked the course, but could not do that again! Maybe return if the course was nearly empty.

Kudos to the course maintenance staff. Having little to no rain for months, other than som sparse weedy rough where you should be punished anyway, course is still in very nice shape. Freshen some bunkers and you’re back to 5 star perfection. Still best layout in IN in my book.

Always enjoy playing this course. Need good shot placement. and you get rewarded for those good shots. Just wish I had more in the bag. Holes look longer from the tee box. Not much reward for the risk as the risk will bite you. Fun day.

First time playing. From the first tee layout looks great and overall there are some interesting holes. That being said teed off at 9:20 and finished at 2:50! 5.5 hours to play-Inexcusable! Slow play is #1 reason won’t return here or other golf courses that can’t space times and manage the slow players. No ranger and no beverage person.

COURSE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE.DRIVR IN FAIRWAY A MUST!!

Course was in good shape, better now than a last week when the bunkers were either holding water or in need of sand or repair. Good pace

The course is a direct competitor with Bear Slide in Cicero, The Fort, Purgatory in Noblesville, and Prairie View in Carmel. And a few more. It is my favorite of that group. Greens are quick but soft and can sometimes show some wear and tear. Fairways are excellent. They have some long rough but it doesn't jump out at you. The layout is great. The short holes are a challenge because the greens are narrow and undulating- so a little offline and you can get into trouble. Five of the first six holes are into the morning sun- so dew sweepers are hitting blind teeshots early in the round. Traps are mostly good with some muddy exceptions here and there- but they are maintained. There is a halfway house but it isnt always open- so get supplied before you start.

If you are in the Indy or Lafayette area and have never played Trophy Club, do yourself a favor and book a round. In comparison to courses that are in a similar price range, TC is head and shoulders above. The course is challenging, yet accessible to most skill levels Beautiful scenery, friendly staff, excellent condition. Enjoy!

Greens and fairways were plush. Sand traps need a lot of attention...poor drainage. Cart paths are rough but for a public course, it offers a manageable challenge to low handicappers.

Course was in less than ideal shape today, but somewhat expected as there was about an inch of rain last night. The good: greens rolled true but quite slow; tees were in great shape; well marked for first time players. Problem areas were: rough was very patchy; fairways were destroyed by divots (ball stopped in five of them - they were everywhere!); no ranger (group in front of us had 6 holes open in front of them); and the grounds crew were obviously not trained as to not follow a specific group for five holes cutting the fairways while we were on the greens. The REALLY bad: one member of our group asked for his own cart, and they told ALL of us we had to pay an additional $15 per person! They only charged $49 for the entire round! They want an extra green fee PLUS for an additional cart??? No chance here! I paid my green fees and cart rental, I had my receipt, and I wasn’t dropping another dime for one person’s accommodation.

I did not bring anything resembing golf to the Trophy Club and I enjoyed our round immensely, The shot values are often unique.

The cousre is in good summer playing condition, the shop staff and clubhouse folks are unusually friendly and helpfull.

It had been several years since I played Trophy club last but the challenge and feel Came rushing back immediately..

Bring lot's of golf and play the heck out of this place!

It’s my Favorite Course in the Indianapolis Area
