Horrible Condition

This course has a nice layout, but the condition of the fairways, and the rough was terrible. Lots and lots of dead grass all over the place.

Enjoyable course, but some work required

This course is a lot of fun, especially the par 5 5th. The back 9 as a whole was more enjoyable than the front, but not in as good of shape. The course is right on the river, and at this time of year, the river is high and spilled onto the course in several places. The 11th is in very bad shape, and the 15th has a new creek that is unmarked. I'll definitely be back to the course, and expect it to have dried up and earn a 5-star rating!

Decent course.

I have played here lots of time. There needs to be a marshall to monitor pace of play. We were a twosome and had to wait on this group of 4 all 18 holes. Never once did they offer to let us play thru.

1st round always good

After a LONG winter it was nice to get out for the 1st round play in early March. The staff was (and is) very friendly and with $1.00 dogs and fountain drinks it was a good day!

A cold day in the sun.

Coffin was in good shape considering all the rain recently and also due to all the leaves that have fallen so far this year. The course is diverse and the greens are challenging. It was an enjoyable day even though it was cold as the sun was out all day. The last two holes are the hardest as they seem to have the fairway against a river levee with a lot of trees on the other side. It is well worth it to play this course.

A fine time!

The fairways have recovered from a very dry several weeks and the greens are very nice excepting a few small patches on several greens---nothing unusual for this time of year. Unlike many courses, drinking water and ball washers are still deployed.

Enjoyed playing the course and its tight fairways on several holes on the back nine.

I am a weekend warrior and generally play consistant, when I play. The course was in good shape and had a great layout with several challenging holes. I particularly enjoyed playing the back side where the difficulty seemed to increase and demand more accuracy. Greens were in pretty good shape for being later in the season.

Coffin requires driver accuracy

Coffin fairways, 13 of 18, are either lined with trees, out of bounds or water hazards thus making the drive the most important shot on just about every hole. If you are a free swinger who grips it and rips it better take a few extra sleeves of golf balls.

The course has made a great recovery from the late summer dry spell and holes 15 & 16 fairways are almost healed from the ditch construction related to the Marion College construction. The greens put true and are typically cut at moderate speed. The biggest maintenance issue are the sand traps in the lower holes that get washed out when the course floods.

A real dog track, save your money!

One of the worst courses I have ever played! Fairway is no different than the rough, bunkers is just a dirt hole, greens are not much better, crab grass throughout!

Horrible conditions, shockingly bad for $42

Course in horrible shape. Sprinklers spraying us at tee box and when we let clubhouse know they say that they have trouble keeping that area in shape (?). Will never go back.

fun course

fairways were a little dry with the weather in Indy.Greens were very nice. People had a lot of trash and tees on the course that needed to be picked up. Why don't people just pick up after themselves?

Low maintenance, budget course at a moderate price

For the price, Coffin Club is the worst course in the Indianapolis area that I've played. Similar to Morningstar in maintenance and layout but the greens are not nearly as nice. Spend your money elsewhere.

Some very cool and challenging holes along the river from the Golds

The greens were in great shape but the rest of the course is still recovering from the flood a few years ago. This course would be outstanding if it had bent grass fairways. A challenging layout with some holes that force you to hit some real golf shots and some other "gimme" holes to keep your scorecard in check. I will play here again.

Nice Layout and design

This course was very tight. It is right up against the White River. I thought it was a fairly good layout and set up for the area. The greens roll fast and true. The fairways were in decent shape. I would play this course if you want a good little challenge.

This course offers a nice layout with plenty of challenges.

I like the opportunites to challenge the level of play. Some of the fairways require accuracy from teebox. Plenty of mature trees to make the day interesting.

I will play another round at this course prior to year end.

classic golf course.

Making good decisions on what shot to play is an important element while playing this course. This a mature and somewhat tight course to play. I enjoy the challenges of this course and have always made it part of my courses to play every season.
