Happy birthday America!

This is not only the best golf course in Valparaiso, Indiana, but the entire staff was friendly and welcoming.

The course was in great shape, and I cannot wait to play it again.

Thank you Aberdeen staff for a wonderful day.

Excellent Course

I drive farther to come out to Aberdeen because it really is a beautiful course. If I can get a good deal. I will choose Aberdeen every time.There is only 1 hole that is not pristine on this course (sorry, I don´t remember the hole #). The starter was a very friendly guy, and talked with us before our tee time as were the staff in the clubhouse. It is worth the drive to golf this course in my opinion.

Nice place

Had a great time playing here again today, course is in good shape and great value for the price point. Not long but some mature trees, tight fairways, and elevation changes, can lead to a challenging round. Not crowded

Staff is great, I left my Rangefinder in cart and was assisted by Missy getting it back. Nice patio for a Sarsaparilla after your round.

Enjoyable day we will be back.

Nice Variety

Had the opportunity to play the Course at Aberdeen, and if you are looking for a nice variety of holes, this is the place for you. Some holes play similar to a links course (and on a windy day, it can be really interesting), while others are wide open, have a variety of bunkers, water, and other hazards. Greens are in tip top shape as well. One of the more challenging courses in Northwest Indiana.

Poorly Managed Course

We played on a gloomy day and the food and beverage manger behind the desk acted like they were packed solid and it was a problem to play with a buddy from the tee time behind us. We then putted on the practice green and watched two twosomes go off and then a single player. Once we went back in we finally got cart keys 5 min before our tee time. We also found some of the staff trying to rake mud in the bunkers with a tractor that wasn’t doing anything effective that day due to the conditions of the bunkers holding water.

Great links style course along with decision making shots. Tempts you to bring out the driver on holes when you could also hit an iron or wood and lay up. Greens were in great condition loved the layout of the course.

Good day on the links

I think the course was in good shape despite the horrible rain we got earlier in the week.

Challenging course, and it’s a must play in NW Indiana.
