This is one of the worst courses I've ever played.
Pros: Inside Staff was very friendly.
I played as a single so luckily I only had to spend 2 and a 1/2 hours at this dreadful place.
Cons: How much time ya got?
Course in terrible condition. They pulled off the unbelievable task of making the greens dreadfully slow yet impossible to hold! Even with a wedge! Honestly you'd be better served stopping at the local hardware store and picking up a sledgehammer to replace your putter. Yet the greens are so firm you don't need a divot tool. If it's a front pin (which 75% of them were that day) getting anywhere near the flag is not an option. Even with wedge in hand. 17 green was half dead! Now on to the bunkers...links course so plenty of bunkering yet no two bunkers the same. Some, plenty of sand and consistent, others, none.
I play to about a 2 hdcp and I don't think I've ever played a course that I've been so penalized hitting good shots.
Avoid this course until either they get a new greenskeeper or invest tons in maintenance or both.
As I said to a friend, a great motto for this place should be: "A great place to play if you live nearby and you're almost out of gas."
If Nick Price saw the state of his design, he'd have his name removed from the scorecard.
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.
Davelongdrive50,
I get it, you're retired and play 3 or 4 times a week but since you're on a fixed income you only play cow pastures where you aren't in danger of losing too many balls and refuse to pay more than $20 for a round. So you create a username with golf terms in it thinking you know all there is to know about the game.
Saying a course is better than last year, even though it's still terrible, is like lipstick on a pig...it's still a pig.
As far as you assuming my skill level, you'd be wrong. Yes, I do only get to play once a week nowadays due to the fact that I'm no longer in the golf business, which I was for the greater part of 15yrs. Yes, I do still carry a 2 hdcp and no, I don't play rock golf balls. It's fine if you're a member of the course and want to defend your home track. Understandable. Assuming someone's skill level based on a bad review, bad move.
Have a good weekend. Enjoy your cow pasture full of weeds and dead spots.
I do have time actually.
This course is on the upswing from last year. 17 green was worst last year, like I said...upswing. Bunkers were worked all last year, once again that is a drastic improvement considering they were filled with dirt all summer last summer and under maintenance.....upswing. Honestly you might have been at the wrong course by reading your comments.
On to the "2hcp" that you have when you play once a week. First, this is not a PGA event you were playing at. Second, you must have been using rocks as balls because I know I played just a few days ago and my golf ball had no problems sticking to the greens, also rolling on the greens very nicely. Third, the Links course may not be for you then considering by your comments you cannot seem to keep the ball in safe play even tho a links course is a wide open course. Considering the vast amounts of higher rated star ratings, that golf course is certainly not a 1 star course.
Thank you, have a wonderful weekend.
