Basic Course Maintenance -- Huge MISS
1st Green is absolutely gorgeous!!
after that it goes down hill.
Huge sand traps, although huge sand traps also need maintaining. 1 of the holes I was about 180 out and went for the green, ended up short and into the bunker. When the ball landed--HUGE splash!
Drain your bunkers!!
The day I played it had not rained for several HOT days.
Tee makers-- yes tee markers are usually moved prior to mowing the tee box. No one was mowing tee boxes on the entire course, Tee box markers-some were laying on the ground, some were standing,
SOME WERE MISSING! Just tee off from wherever you like??
Yardage markers? Yes where? There are some painted yardage markers on the cart path, but does you very little good when you're in the fairway and have no view of the markings on the cart path.
1st cut around the green-- some grass, mostly weeds
Grass around the bunkers-- 2' tall--if its part of the course design so be it, would be a 1st of a kind out of my 30 years of playing. If not part of the design, hire some teenagers after school and on the weekends to help cut your weeds.
Course design-- EXCELLENT makes you think about your next shot. Don't plan to play here and use your driver on all 4's and 5's!
Greens on the back 9 are fairly easy to read, true to what you are reading!!
Wide fairways on most holes. Some need definite aim to position yourself well for the next shot!!
Course Setting-- EXCELLENT nice quiet playing -- little artificial noise (road traffic-home owner mowing etc...)
A yardage book or some sort of course layout--better than the score card. If you have never played here, some good visuals would help immensely!!
This course has HUGE POTENTIAL if they would only get back to basics on basic course maintenance.
For the amount of money I paid, I am happy but not satisfied with this course. I am usually not this critical of a course, but some things were just too plainly obvious not to mention to other players. Hopefully someone from the staff will take notice and make appropriate changes there. Word of mouth is huge in today's golfing economy, it can be bad and hurt or it can be good and help your course out immensely!
For the future I will play other courses for the same amount of money that are considerably better!! UNTIL, I see or read of better conditions here.
I was pleasantly surprised on how great a shape the couse was in this early in the season

No rakes for bunkers, so sad
Greens 7 out of ten
Tee box’s and fairways not bd for 3/13
Killer for price 18.69$
Great Course, too bad it's for sale
Why build a golf course if you're only going to sell it for a PUD? This is a well-kept, fun playable course with lots of traps, little water, interesting holes, and perfect cart paths that will.soon be made into a housing community. Join Mitchell would be proud.
Great course & price
Love this course but the sand traps are in bad shape / need a lot of work.
Fooled
I played the course as I saw reviews that said it has come back from the pathetic state it was in pre-COVID. I was fooled. The course is still awful. It MAYBE has come up from the sewer to the toilet bowl only because the greens are decent now. Other than that is awful. Dead tee boxes, weeds in the fairway, bushes uncut and in the way and bunkers with NO sand. The place should be bulldozed for a housing development
Oh…and shoutout to the grump who was yelling at me for hitting my tee shot when he was 60yds from the green…on a 390 yard hole!!!!
First one out
Course played fair and conditions were good. First time here so it was a little tricky knowing where to land it and what was behind all the very well placed bunkers. This is an underrated course for sure. Visually appealing. Pin locations were a little boring on the day I played but the possible set ups here could be really fun. 6400 blue tees gave lots of chances for birdies but required a good game plan on how to play the different holes.
“I’m Back Baby!!”
Got to play this SW Indy course for the first time in a long time; the place had fallen into serious disrepair and it was “I’m considering walking off mid-round” bad a few years ago. This meant utter garbage tee boxes and huge patches of sand and/or dead grass at multiple different places throughout the course. New owners probably got it on the cheap out of bankruptcy, so good for them.
They’ve really pulled a 180 out here and it’s frankly great to see. The course is a Nick Price design, and initially it had more sand than most FL courses I’ve played. It also stretched out pretty long if you played the Price Tees (like 7600). The design was tough and a bit unique for the area.
They’ve really put some care into the place and now it deserves to be back in your Indy-area rota. Tees were nicely grassed and leveled; fairways were fully grown in and rough was fair. I can see small areas they’ve let go to more long-ish heather, which is likely saving them some maintenance costs. The robust amount of bunkering has been trimmed by maybe a few, but thankfully the character of the place has been maintained. They’ve been nicely refilled with quality sand, so no longer is it a doomsday when you go in one (getting out is all on you, player!). Greens were in great shape, fully brought back and very fair.
The course starts out with a long Par4 with a great big 2-tiered green; you’ll want to be on the right level or it’s three putt city. The second hole is a nice short Par3 which plays over a pond to a tricky green. The third is a gettable Par5 with a skinny green surrounded by fall-off areas. So right out the gate you get a good mix of tests with all 3 hole layouts. They don’t use a lot of pure template holes, but really more like an homage to the classics (so there’s a “Short”, a “Cape”, a “Himalayan”, etc with a twist). The back nine is one of the better tough layouts in the area; I really love the stretch from thirteen through fifteen, with the tough uphill Par5 thirteenth to kick it off. You want to choose clubs wisely here!
You’ll need to bring your sand game still, as there’s a lot of strategically placed bunkers; the wind is usually blowing out there too, so the course can chew up your score in a hurry. But with some pretty generous landing areas, you can score well if your approach game is on.
I’m glad to see the place get the attention it needed; we paid weekend rates of $49 and it’s definitely punching well in that weight class with other Indy courses. Don’t bother reading the old reviews, just come out and see for yourself: It’s back, baby!
Coming back
This is another course that has been under going somewhere work ! Burned down a lot of the brush and trashy areas , course was wet and recently aurated so it was playing slow ! It should be a track track to play this summer when things grow back ! They are working on the bunkers around 18 and have put sand in some bunkers to repair them ! I had fun playing it and seeing it for the first time in 7 years ! They are working on the course hard so it will be a good track soon !!
Nearing return to former glory
Always have enjoyed playing here when in the area, and was disappointed to have seen it fall into disrepair, but new owner has dramatically turned around the conditions in just a few short years. Yes there are still some areas that need attention, but the greens were fantastic and fairways looked good. Staff was very friendly and accommodated quickly when I asked about playing an additional 18.
Thank you for your feedback. We take our golfers' feedback very seriously as we strive to continuously improve. We are glad you enjoyed the pace of play and friendly staff, and hope you come back in the near future to make up for this experience.
