Nice course

This course surprised me. It was priced really good and was in excellent condition. The greens were a little long and slow, but all in great shape. Will go back soon.

The day went very well from check in to finish. We were a twosome and 2 foursomes let us play through which was greatly appreciated and help keep our round moving. The course was in great shape

Greens no bare spots
Cons
Greens rough putting very bumpy
Some thin grass in some fairways, but will improve
Fairways mostly dry
Will look forward to play later this year

Course was in good condition but it is poorly managed. Tee times are stacked too closely and their is no supervision of pace of play. Five-somes are common and most players are high handicappers or don’t know / care about how many groups are backed up behind them. I’ve experienced this twice in the last 2 times I’ve played and I won’t be coming back. It’s no fun waiting 10 minutes on every tee to hit.

Very nice course

Well taken care of course. It's fairly easy. No water hazards, few bunkers, fairways are mostly open and not too crowded with trees. Fairways and greens in very good condition.

Great Landscape, Great conditions

Course was well taken care of, tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all very nice. Landscaping and hills were very fun to play around and made for a fun but challenging day. Not much of a winding river but a great course none the less. One of my favorites on the south side of Indy

Worst day ever for a hot deal

My brother and I have used golf now for years and this is by far the worst experience. With Golf Now. We showed up for our tee time and the first thing that happened was the first tee was backed up by 5 or 6 groups. They also had to take a cart away from other people to get people out. We finally just gave up and left the course knowing our round would take 6 hours with waiting time. This experience has made me leery of booking a hot deal in the future.
