Turkey Creek

Course was rough and not very well maintained. Sand traps were in very poor shape.

Greens

The greens were fast and true but had to many old and new ball marks that haven’t been repaired.

A Hot Day! But fun round of golf.

My weekend foursome decided to challenge Turkey Creek. We teed off about 25 min later than our tee time but it was ok. The carts are so-so but they did get us thru the round, no windshields. The course itself was in pretty good shape, esp after the 1st hole. We completed our round in just under 5 hours. Everyone enjoyed themselves. the course has a lot of character and we will return.

County Park Course

As so often the case, public course’s pace of play can be affected by inexperienced players playing inefficiently. More importantly, too many of these players do not fix their ballparks and this, combined with cuttings and maple seeds are a big demerit for the greens condition. . Fairways and rough were well cut. . Ball washers would be welcome. There is a refreshment and bathroom building well placed at the intersection of four holes. Unique

Worth the drive.

We drive from Illinois out to Merrillville, IN for a great little course that's off the beaten path. We find genuine value at this Hoosier hideout and the friendly staff helps make it a lot of fun. .
