2nd time

This course has a ton of potential. Looks like they dreamed big in some places (some tee boxes built but don't seem to be currently used, they would give options to certain holes). That's not a criticism, it's a ton of maintenance. Course is ok. Both times I've played the greens have been SLOW SLOW SLOW. mid August was the previous so I know it isn't just that it's getting later in the season. Overall pretty good. People were friendly.

Great!

Really enjoyed the day! Very friendly staff. Tee boxes, fairways and big greens were in great shape. Sand traps were in good shape. Great weather made it a very enjoyable day.

Better hit is straight and have a sharp putter!

This course has changed dramatically since it was built. The trees have grown, so on many holes a poor drive can lead to a bogie. The Links has very large greens, so be prepared for some 70 - 100 foot putts! It was nice to play a course that had adequate sand in their bunkers.

Brutal Pace

Walked off the course after 11 holes due to brutally slow play first nine was 2 1/2 hours but next two holes took an hour. Had 3 groups backed up to tee off of the Par-3 12th.

Nice layout but terrible upkeep

This course has very bad upkeep/maintenance. The greens are in poor shape, the bunkers are awful. They don't mow often. It's a golf course run "on the cheap". For the regular rack rate you are much better off to go someplace else. For 4 or 5 bucks more you will have much more fun at any of the well maintained golf course in the area.

Rough covered in weeds. Some herbicide and grass seed might help in a few years!

What happened

I haven't played here in about 5 years. We just finished the wettest month in history so I expected lush conditions with a few flooded areas that need repairs. The fairways were as if they hadn't been watered in a year, the greens were very hard and rough, and the traps hadn't been raked in months. I would hate to see it in a drought year. Having said that, it was a bargain for theGolfnow hot price of just over $14. Had I paid full price, I would have been jumping up and down. I guess I got value for my dollar, I wouldn't pay more but for $14,it is what it is.

This facility needs attention

We played this course in the afternoon after the morning rush on Saturday. Scheduled to tee off at the same time as another group but it looked like two groups we scheduled at that time. It took 20 minutes to tee off after everyone finally cleared out. This Course was extremely dry. Tee Boxes, Fairways, had not been watered. The Greens were in rough shape. A few tee boxes were blocked off because of rotten steps which deteriorated over years of lack of maintenance. This Course could be a beautiful course. I have played it before, it was better then but not by much. I look forward to playing this when they have taken the time to put this course back in proper shape.

On It's Last Legs?

The course is fairly beat up and patchy from tee to green. It gives the vibes of financial trouble as things were not mowed, greens were very beat up, and several ponds were full of scum. 17 green had a giant sand patch in the middle of it. All the greens were choppy though they rolled ok. Sure they may have struggled with the weather recently, but it seems like they have a lot deeper issues going on. As for pace of play, the majority of the clientele are on social security, so they move at their pace.

Overall, the hot deal price looks nice, but it's just not worth the trip unless some money is put into maintenance.

Slowest Round Ever

Out T Time was for 2pm. 1st tee was backed up with two foursomes ahead of us. Finally teed off at 2:25 and didnt the first hole till 2:40 waiting on green to clear. Got a little faster after that but Still took almost 3 hours to play front 9 with alot of waiting between shots, so we didnt finish the round. No ranger around to Keep things moving. Lucky we only paid $25 thanks to GolfNow discount or it would've been a real waste. This course has a great layout and if it was better maintained it could be one of the best courses in greater Indy area.

Pace of Play

Slow pace of play and poor golf etiquette. Also, confirmed that afterwards with someone else who had played the course. Was cart path only, but players in front would walk to ball, back to cart to get club and then go back and hit next shot. We played a par 3 after they finished it. finished our Par 3 and went to next tee box. They were still on tee box.

A challenging golf course

Course management is extremely required. Don't be too aggressive in crossing water hazard..tight fairways with greens protected by well placed bunkers.

"under renovations"

I had high hopes but this one fell short. Upon arrival we were warned that there was a lot of course maintenance going on and that the price would be going up later this year. Unless it SIGNIFICANTLY improves I would not pay more or go back. The greens are so soft and slow you have to muscle most putts. And good luck finding a yardage marker. We saw maybe 5 all day. There is no discription or layout map of the holes on the card or the tee box. The drinking water basins had cups but no water. Why tease with cups? Not a good day. The flow wasnt managed either. A foursome ahead of us wouldnt let a single pass on the last 7 holes so it went from a steady pace to waiting 5 min on every hole.

Fun challenge

Course was in pretty good shape for this time of year. Love the layout, tight fairways and well guarded greens but leaves enough opportunities to recover so a few stray shots won't ruin your day

Tough but beautiful

It is a tough course, roughs were a little long and when you golf like I do you spend a lot of time in them. Greens beautiful and big. Lots of sand and water that were very well taken care. We were not able to do the back nine as we got rained out, but I will go back soon and finish.
