great course
Really nice course has some challenges with the water and sand but enjoy playing it!!!
Course was in fairly good condition greens are big and the greens were in nice condition
Nice course
This course is always in great shape. Greens are huge, rough isn't bad at all( I should know) and fairways in great condition. I prefer the rough because that's what I'm use to. Try it and you will like it.
Good value
We all enjoy the course layout. Fairways are wide enough for the average golfer, but enough trouble if you get off the fairways to make it a challenge. This is the fourth time I've played the course this year.Wish the course maintenance, particularly the roughs was a little better. The roofs are particularly uncut probably 5 to 6 inches long. Makes it very difficult for the average golfer to dig the ball out on the shot. All that said, it is still well worth the money.
Slow, Weeds, Dirt
Played here on 29 Jul for the full rate and was very disappointed. The rough on all of the holes is pretty well 80% weeds and many of them little white top ones which is a pain when looking for your ball. They also seem to don't believe in mowing the rough. The bunkers were basically unplayable as they were just dirt (as others have posted).
A Marshall was riding around on the course but seemed to do nothing to help the pace of play. The round was 5 hours 15 minutes which is rather ridiculous with someone on the course monitoring. A set of tees at around 6000 yards would do a lot to speed up play as the only options are 5600 or 6400 and it seems many people play 6400 when they shouldn't. We made our own hybrid set (mix of back and middle) to have it play around 6100.
Wet, cart path only. Wish GolfNow would advise us beforehand :(
I wish Golf Now would let us know in advance if a course is cart path only, before we book a round.
Then we'd have the option to either pass on playing there, or decide to bring a push cart, as the round would play much faster than cart path only, with very little difference in the mileage walked.
Despite the week before having beautiful weather, there was a some rain the day before we played. But I hardly expected the course to be cart path only. If we had known, I probably would not have chosen to play here. There were many other choices in this area.
I have played this course many times before, and I like the layout, but this was the first time it's ever been cart path only.
Once we got there and found out it was cart path only, I first was irked at GolfNow, but then was kicking myself for not bringing our push carts, as the course doesn't offer them as an option to riding carts.
The round took almost 5-1/2 hours. We would have rather had our push carts and just walked.
The course was soggy and the bunkers were loaded with water.
In the future, before I book a round with GolfNow, I will call the course and find out restrictions before I book.
How to play in dirt
First, I love this course and its layout. I have played here since it opened. The design is finally coming together. Yet, all the sand traps are not filled with sand. They are nothing but "dirt traps". If u choose to save money but not keeping the course properly maintained, remove all the traps. We want sand not hard dirt.
This place is a joke! Ball washers with nothing in them. No water jugs out in their locations, no sand in the sand traps. This course could be a real gem if some money was put into it! I wouldn't pay more than $18 with cart, the way it is now.
Hard and Fast Greens
Played this course many times. Greens were dry, hard, fast, and undulating. More dry spots and areas on the course overall than usual and should be ground under repair. Windy day and greens that wouldn't hold made for some tough chipping, putting, and approach conditions and the balls would roll right through the greens. Big greens and big breaking putts. Some tall rough in areas to stay out of!
Nice layout, great value!
Nice layout,and I enjoy playing out there every time we go… I've played this course over 20 years and the greens and fairways are large and forgiving .based on the time of year comparably is always in good shape for Indiana!! Absolutely would recommend !!
Good course
Played there a few times last year, conditions were actually really good for mid February. Greens are gigantic, plenty of water and sand traps to challenge the average player without being impossible to play
Decent course
For a round in Feb this was ok. Tee boxes are not marked so it made it difficult and the holes have no signage indicating which hole you are on or the distance.
