The course has always been a great course. Great condition. They used to have a good senior rate. Not anymore. $62 senior rate and no water on course and no beverage cart. I probably will not return because of the cost. There are several comparable courses in the area that have senior rates around $40.

Solid consistency

I coach golf and index between 5-10, depending on practice / injuries.
This is probably my fav now in/near Hamilton Cty.
My only complaint is the course is always over-watered and plays soft from tee to green. Greens are just right and probably best in town.
Based on all factors the best upscale plays on Northside of Indy:
T1 Bearslide
T1 Trophy Club
3. PurgatoryGC
4. Prairie View
5. The Fort
Overrated: The Fort & Prairie View
Underrated: Fox Prairie
Grossly overpriced: Brickyard
Moderately overpriced: Prairie View & The Fort & Plum Creek
Most of the Hugh end public options should be kept and maintained “Firm & Fast”, but sadly few to none are.
You want a SLOW round go to the Fort, an overpriced round go to Brickyard, The most fun round - Trophy Club
Sadly, “GROW THE GAME” has ruined it ….. now, it’s spring break at every course …..
You want to wear beachware, grape smugglers, smediums …… go to the beach, NOT the course
You want to listen to music go to a concert or use headphones - DO NOT assume those around you want to hear whatever your ADD ears desire
If your group is pacing any bit over 4 hours, let people play through. Keeping up with slow play in front of you means your play is slow and you are part of the problem
Thumbs up on Bearslide

Great course

Bear slide is a bit of a schizophrenic spot w the front feeling like a pure links course and the back more like Michigan golf. Both sides are fun and fair although the back has some a few quirky holes for the first timer. Generally speaking, course was immaculate, especially for late Sept. Absolutely no complaints on that side. Greens fast, fairways in good shape etc. I’d play it again.

Beautiful Layout in AMAZING Condition

I've always loved this course and try to play it whenever I'm in the area, but I was blown away with the condition of the course this most recent time I played. The greens were some of the best I've played in the Indy area all year. There are lots of sand traps and some don't seem easy to maintain, but they were all perfect. Fairways and rough were also in great shape. My buddies and I were so impressed I told them on the 17th tee that I'm going to have to leave them a review because the course was amazing. A must play whenever you're in the area!

Value, value, value.

In great shape, good layout, exceedingly friendly staff. You cant find anything on this level for this price in Los Angeles, I can assure you. Only reason I gave a 4 is because I'll play Sawgrass someday and I have to reserve a 5 for that. But, gimme great 4s like this for under $60 all day long and I'll never complain. I played all 9 Indianapolis courses that appear on every ranking for the city and this is in the Top 3-4, easily. Also, it's just far enough North of Indy to be really quiet out there. Just a joy of a round.

On 7/29 it was not that wet, especially given the rain the couple days before. There were 2 severe leaks on fairways that have since been repaired.
