The Links at Heartland Crossing

This course has steadily gone downhill in recent years, its obvious that they are not generating enough money to keep up this course and probably are not paying a greenskeeper enough for them to care about maintaining this course. Its too bad because this is a nice layout and could be a very nice course. I used to play this course regularly but I will not be back after this visit. Would rather pay more to play a course in good condition. Would not surprise me if this course closes soon.

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$

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.

Love this course but the sand traps are in bad shape / need a lot of work.

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!!!!

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.

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!

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 !!

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.
