Last resort choice
The price was right, and the cart was like new. There was no one pushing us and we didn't have to wait on anyone very often. However, the course was in awful condition. The fairways were poor, the greens were poor and very slow, and the tee boxes were poor. The only reason I played this course is because it was the only GolfNow "hot deal" I could get at this time of the day (2:45 pm). I needed this time because my son was visiting me, and couldn't arrive earlier. There are a lot of nice courses in the Indy area. This isn't one of them.
Fun layout, but rough conditions
Links has a fun layout and a lot of holes that play at angles and tempt you to cut corners over trees and water. Greens are big and nuanced. Unfortunately we played after a week of on and off rain that probably kept the mowers off the course all week. Lots dandelions and overgrown rough, and if only the bunkers had sand in them. Overall, not bad but also expected for $25. Hopefully they can get the course back in good shape because it is a really strong layout.
Awful shape
The course is in brutally awful shape. It's honestly hardly playable. Expect to lose loads of balls as the rough is not well groomed and dead grass everywhere makes it impossible to find your ball.
Cart path only
Disappointed that it was cart path only because of pooling water from rain on the course. Fairways not in very good shape. Large greens Ok. Pace of play very good. Flat course, but several water hazards and many sand traps. Because of our golf now price, it was still a good value for 2 of us.
Played This One Many Times and Average at Best Conditions, Still a Fun Round
I've played this course through the years. Expansive greens and a good layout. Average conditions. Tee boxes had bare spots and weeds but acceptable in most places. Fairways needed mowed and had bare patches and were looking rough in places. Greens were extremely hairy, long, and slow. However they were in good condition relatively and the best part of the course. Pin positions looked to be in the same spot since last month, but were in tough approaches. It was very wet so we didn't play in the bunkers, but they seemed to be in good shape. A great deal for the rate we paid, but seems to be lacking in overall maintenance for the year end. I'd go back for sure, but not spend a lot doing it..
Needs some TLC
I'm a regular at the Links. Overall, it's a decent course for the money...only $30 for 18 during peak hours. It's definitely not The Fort. The course could use some TLC in the sand traps and tee boxes; fairways were a little rough today...usually they cut it pretty course.
Bad Shape
Great staff, pro shop and snack bar personnel were friendly, helpful and top notch. Rest of course is really bad. Tees and fairways and roughs are full of weeds and crabgrass. Landscape timbers lining cart paths had rotted in several places it looks like the course has had minimal maintenance money spent on it in the past year. Sad, as layout could be challenging and greens have potential.
Nice golf course
We enjoyed our round of golf. There were only a few other golfers so we finished in 3 1/2 hours. The fairways were in good shape and the greens were ok. I visited several traps and trees and lakes. The course is not as pretty as other courses, without any hills, but it was a good value. We hope to play there again.
Worth playing
The course is fun to play. Huge greens! They are in decent shape. Cut a little high, but could be because of the hot weather. Fairways and rough needs some good TLC. Too many weeds.
This course could easily be great with a little work.
Perfect weather, course could be better
This course needs some work, primarily the tee boxes and sand traps. I was the first one on the course today and had a great time! I was able to play in a little over 3 hours. For $30, the Links isn't a bad track...it was definitely worth the money!
Needs work
Played ina twosome, tee boxes need work and the rough is full of weeds. Greens are exyremely slow.
Needs work, but not bad
I was the second person on the course, so the pace of play was extremely quick. The mowing crew was out, so the course was in pretty good condition overall. It's definitely not The Fort...but it was only $30 too. The bunkers needs new sand; most are hard pan. A few of the tee boxes need work as well. But overall, it isn't bad.
Place is trash.
I played there a couple years ago and it was pretty decent. So with that said I couldn’t tell you how disappointed I am that this place has gone down hill so much. The tee boxes are trash. The rough looks like it hasn’t been touched all year. And the bunkers are just dirt, no sand what so ever. I wouldn’t recommend you waste your time going to this course til they do a lot of work getting it back in shape.
Embarrassing
The staff at this course should be embarrassed with he condition of the course. Rough probably hasn’t been cut in a month on most holes. Regardless of the price the conditions are awful.
Goat Ranch
This place has never been the best but I expected a little more effort. Dandelions everywhere! Grass over a foot deep! Finally saw a lawnmower and the guy was cutting the grass by the parking lot. They should be embarrassed. Never will go back ,the large greens didn’t even hold a sandwiedge. This place has to be weeks from bankruptcy.
Poorly maintained
Weeds and dirt everywhere! Greens and fairways have weeds throughout and the roughs are literally nothing but weeds. Many bunkers weren’t even full of sand. Glad I only paid $10 to play. Layout was enjoyable. This would be a good course with even average maintenance!
