Plum Creek Golf Club
About
Opened in 1998, this Pete Dye design has hosted several high-level college and professional golf tournaments while simultaneously serving thousands of enthusiastic amateur golfers throughout greater Indianapolis and beyond. With five sets of tees ranging from just under 7,000 yards to just over 5,000, Plum Creek is playable by all golfers. Several ponds and a winding stream come into play throughout the course, placing a premium on smart play, all while minimizing the need for forced carries for higher-handicap players.

Good From Far, But Far From Good
Booked a 4:00 tee time with my family to get a break from our current club and do something different. The clubhouse was very nice in appearance. Staff was friendly.
We hopped in our carts and went to the practice green. The outdoor seating area had a group of guys sitting in a circle, yelling lots of obscenities. Employees were present, but not concerned… so we just took it as par for this course.
We get to the first tee box, which is basically just a few feet from the front drive. Had to time our tee shots in between the numerous cars pulling out behind us. While we were teeing at our scheduled time, there were already two twosomes waiting for us to go off. We had a couple foursomes in front of us, so we weren’t to let the twosomes thru. However, we knew we’d have people pressuring us from behind all day. (The two twosomes could have been paired together.)
As for the layout, the cart paths and gold tees don’t jive. Almost made us wonder if they added the gold tees after the course was designed. If you are in a cart, just play the blues. You’ll find it’s more convenient and enjoyable. Especially on hole 11…
The course is in good shape, but the greens are too slow. This leads to less break on the greens so it’s less challenging. What was challenging, was navigating our putts thru all the ballmarks that weren’t fixed. A true shame for such a beautiful course that has obviously had a lot of care by the greenskeepers.
We completed the front in just under 2 hours, but the back was really slow. We’d wait for clearance and then have to wait again, and again, on nearly every shot. We finished the back in 2.5 hours. The group in front of us left with one hole to go, so it might have been even longer.
Hi, JMD3131! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Plum Creek Golf Club!
Dont waste your money
I played this course for the first times with some buddies, we had to start off on the 10th Tee box, no biggie. We finished 9 in about 1 1/2 hours then headed to play on the front. A staff member came out yelling at us to return and play the back 9 again which was never established. Regardless from the knowledge I have of the back after playing it twice, the course is in good condition but in my opinion the layout is just not good and extremely boring. There are too many different courses around the area for the same price/cheaper that are better, do not play here.

Terrible twilight round
I feel scammed and taken advantage of after my experience at Plum Creek. I reserved a twilight round with the intent to only get through 9 holes. However, Plum Creek allowed tee times to be reserved all while a men's league shotgun started the front 9 and a kids league shotgun started the back 9. We waited 20 mins to hit our first shot and by the time we got to our next shot a staff member told us to go back to the 16th and play from there. We finally called it quits after 2 and half hours and only being able to get through 6 holes....
Needless to say my time and money were wasted by Plum Creeks ability to manage reservations. It is a good public course that I have played several times before, but I will not go back until they improve management.
We apologize for any inconvenience you had during your experience at Plum Creek. It was not our intent to allow this to happen, and we will take action to ensure it does not happen again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope you will give us another chance in the future.
Beautiful Course, but don’t go on a Saturday!
Course was in very good condition for how dry it is. Greens are fast, and pin placement was challenging. Traps and fairways all great. The pace of play was absolutely terrible. 18 holes took us almost 6 hours. They had a men’s league going, and kept tee times close together. We waited 10-15 minutes to start every hole.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the course condition. However, we apologize for the inconvenience caused during your game due to the slow pace of play and will work to implement strategies to improve this issue for future customers.
Beautiful course
Beautiful work, of course, friendly staff and great people all around.

Plum Creek - great place to play
Love the course. Almost always in good shape. One thing is missing: a white - blue combination. The white is currently less than 6000 yds and the blue typically plays over 6400. A 6200+ yd combo would be ideal for many players.
Hi, TooBigToFail. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Plum Creek Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
