The Trophy Club

Great links style track. Very fun layout, greens were in excellent condition. It just rained the day before so there was a lot of standing water in the bunkers but everything else was in great shape. Played on a Tuesday morning and no one else was out. Will definitely go again.

Playing surfaces good for time of year. Bunkers awful. Formally a great track. Now not so much. Carts are below average. Had to get someone from the pro shop to help me get something to drink after the round. At least they had a starter that was helpful. Wetland area where there shouldn’t be one right of six green!

Trophy Club is one of my favorite courses in the Indianapolis area. It's in solid shape to start 2023. The sand has always been the biggest problem there but it is slowly improving. Everything else from tee to green was great. If you play it on a day with no wind, thank the deity of your choice as it's usually windy there even when it's not. Well worth the trip to play, especially if traveling between Chicago/Indy on I-65.

Great staff, great course, great value, worth the drive.

It reminded me of purgatory but a slightly easier track. Despite the openness there is still some strategy behind shots. Wind was strong but didn’t do much to the ball flight. Clubhouse was nice and checkin was fast! Just would have liked the concessions after 11 to be open.

Early in the season grounds could be worked on but I’m sure it’s expensive to maintain the details. Some of the green side bunkers could use a major overhaul. But all in all for location it’s fair.

I played a day with 150+ tee times scheduled
A nice amount to be prepared for
My time was around 11 am I arrived approximately 10am
The range was closed until 11:30 ( mowing)
I drove over an hour to play and enjoy being able to warm up. So, I walked around and putted.
When I asked if it was possible to hit wedges
(Mower was snot 200+ yards out) I was told no

The course had no yardage books available
Only an outdated laminated flip card, in the cart, which was falling apart.
The course was in good conditions. With greens that are very undulated A green guide ,for purchase like GolfLogix, would’ve made my round enjoyable

Staff was kind to usual members. And dismissive to new ones.

I have always enjoyed playing this course with friends while in the Indy area. Unfortunately, course conditions have gone way downhill since last visit a few years ago. Rough is just weeds and bunkers are unplayable. Greens are firm but fine. #6 seems to have a water issue with flooding all around the green even though it has been dry. Before, course was a great value. Now course is overpriced. I love the layout and course can be scorable or difficult when wind is in your face. It saddens us to see the decline. Probably won't make it back any time soon, though I will miss the layout.

Trophy club remains a fun layout and nice routing, HOWEVER….. it looks like the place is under new ownership and about to go under.
Bunkers are COMPLETELY unplayable and not maintained by grounds crew. Weeds everywhere and fairways had not been mown. Greens were VERY slow…. Probably hadn’t been cut/rolled. I get the concession stand not being open, but the bathrooms were NOT open either. Place is open for business but NOT being maintained. IF you have come to expect an upscale experience here, you will be disappointed at present time.
There are also serious drainage issues. # 6 green and surrounds are almost completely under water

Used to be a great course. Now most of the traps are garbage.

Overall course was great and staff have great.

My one complaint/disappointment - the staff and every know when the first tee time of the day is. The fact that half on the back 9 did not have pins in the holes is frustrating. I was the first tee time of the day…. At 10am! There was no one in front of us. They put hole ones flag in as we were hitting our second shot. 2 through 9 all were fine. I would venture to say that 10-18 … 6 maybe 7 flags were either laying on the green or off to the side.

Just disappointed.

Recommend not playing this golf course unless you can't get a tee time elsewhere. They schedule 8 min tee times and no starter/player assistant. We had to wait for 25 mins to tee off, past our tee time. Sand bunkers have been in poor condition for the past three years. The guy in the pro shop stated, due to lack of budget, the bunkers will not be fixed (pics attached). It is a great course if management invested to fix the bunkers and managed pace of play.

Expectations are not high for the condition of the course when you are playing in mid-February in central Indiana. That being said, the course was in better condition than I would have ever expected. Greens were pretty slow (as one would expect), but they were in great condition. Fairways were weren't exactly firm, but not sloppy except in just a few isolated low areas. Well done to the staff out there.

The course was in absolutely flawless condition. I've played a bunch of nice courses in the last few weeks and this one by far in the best condition. I will love to play this course over and over again

Had a great time playing here. Plays like a higher end course but for a more manageable price tag. Highly recommend and will be back.
