About

I started playing Golf in June 2012 and have been hooked ever since. In the year since I started playing I have logged 106 rounds to date. I am trying to get better because I have never been this bad at something. I am a night shift Paramedic so my days are free to golf if the weather is nice.

Great time, great course

I really liked this course. The fairways undulated and were in great shape. I loved the layout and the look to the holes. My only problem was that they had recently aerated the greens so they were stilled filled with millions of tiny holes. Other than that I would recommend this course to anyone who asks about it.

Hoosier Nation

I went to IU for college and loved every minute of it. In all my time down in Bloomington I never played this course. I was pleasantly surprised with this course. It was not the nicest course I have ever played but it was extremely well maintained. My issue with this course were all the greens were slanted from back to front in the exact same manner. The greens rolled great however. I would have liked a little more variety in the hole layouts. I would recommend this course to anyone that is alumni or just a Hoosier fan.

Nothing Much Here

There is a very little interesting here to this one. Only a couple of interesting holes here. It is pretty straight forward. If you do not hit the fairway they are lined by trees that will end up costing you a shot to punch out of to avoid trouble. All the par 5's are very reachable in two. It is worth it if you find a good deal.

Nice Layout and design

This course was very tight. It is right up against the White River. I thought it was a fairly good layout and set up for the area. The greens roll fast and true. The fairways were in decent shape. I would play this course if you want a good little challenge.

This course was in fairly good condition. The greens were very fast despite it just having rained. Not anything that was very memorable here.

Bomber Course

This is a very wide open course. No real interesting holes on this one. Nice to play for the Hot Deal rate. It is wide open so you can bomb away without any fear of losing a ball. The prison in the background is a bit of an eyesore.

Great Track for the Money

This was a surprisingly nice course hidden in the corn fields of Frankfort,IN. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful upon my arrival. The front 9 is tightly tree lined with a surprising number of elevation changes and rolling fairways. The greens roll nicely but are a little slower than what I am used to putting on. That's not to say they aren't in great shape. The back 9 is more open and forgiving than the front. There are 2 par 3's that are blind downhill shots from the blue tees that are very interesting. I enjoyed this course a lot and thought it was an amazing value for the Hot Deal I found.

Great Golf Value

A friend of mine that uses GolfNow has been playing this one a lot recently so I decided to go check it out with him. The Hot Deal price was outstanding for this course. The course had a nice layout, fairways were well maintained but rock, and the greens were reasonably fast. I enjoyed this course and thought it was a great value.

Must be Played for Indiana Golf

This course is a masterpiece of golf architecture created by Pete Dye. There is nothing that I did not like about this course. The fairways were perfect and roll like waves. The greens were flawless, undulated in all directions, and were extremely fast. The waste bunkers were to be avoided and the bunkers by the greens could be troublesome if not avoided. Every hole layout was extremely well thought out and worked beautifully with the surrounding area. If you have not played this one and get the opportunity I can not recommend it enough. The value I got for this course with the deal found on GolfNow hot deal was an absolute steal for a course of this caliber.

Average Course

This is a pretty straight forward course. Nothing really special about it. The greens are in good shape and roll fast and true but other than 2 or 3 they are pretty flat with no undulation. Was recommend to this one by some people I have played with in the past and was completely unimpressed. If you live over that way I suppose it is OK to play but I will not be traveling out to Greenfield to play this one again.

Sub-Par Course

I was very unimpressed with this course. It is fairly straight forward, fairways are about as tall as the rough, and the greens are tiny and flat. I will not be back to play this one. I'm feeling a little cheated for the Hot Deal price I paid. If you read these reviews and are thinking of playing this course trust me when I say it is not worth it. You can find much better courses on GolfNow for the same as this disappointment of a course. Just don't waste your time with this one.

Still my Favorite

This course is always great to play. It is kept in near perfect condition. The fairways are beautiful and the greens undulate and are faster than expected. This is still my favorite course in Indy and would recommend it to anybody. It can be a bit pricey but if you are using GolfNow you should be able to find a great deal.

Nightmare Bunkers

I went to play this course on several friends recommendations. I'm very glad I did. This course was a great challenge. The fairways were in great shape and the undulating greens were fast and true. The shire grass ate more than a few of my playing partners golf balls. This course also has some of the largest and deepest bunkers of any course I have played in Indiana. The sand in them is very well maintained and soft but they are quite intimmidating to look at protecting the sides of the fairways and around the greens. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a challenge.

An Absolute Must Play!!!

This course was amazing in every way! Everything about this course was perfect except my game. I can not say enough good things about this course. If you were to hook or slice on this course your ball was gone in the tall shire grass with the Hobbits. The greens were very fast, elevated on most holes, and typically protected by bunkers or shire grass on three sides. The fairways were in perfect condition and looked hardly played on. The hole layouts were easy to follow with lots of elevation changes and rolling fairways. Upon arriving the staff, especially the Golf Pro, made me feel welcomed, showed me where to go, and made some recommendations to me about the course. There were some flying gnats that kept bothering me but I'll resolve that issue the next time I'm there with some bug spray. The only thing that I don't like about this course is that it is not closer to were I live. Now I'm gonna be driving an hour there and an hour back quite often because I will be playing this one as often as I can. I absolutely loved this course!!!

Average at Best

I had heard some good things about this course via word of mouth so me and a friend decided to check it out. The staff/starter was by far my favorite part of this course. The course itself was a lot more worn than I was expecting. The fairways seemed to be brutalized and no one had bothered to try and repair them. The bunkers needed attention because it was like hitting out of packed mud. Greens weren't too bad but still it was like the people that play this course on a regular basis don't repair their divots in the fairways or ball marks on the green. There were a few interesting holes including #15 that made it better. I guess because of the location they like to charge a little more but if they are gonna do that at least take better care of the course. Try it if you would like something new but I'm not gonna recommend it to any of my friends.

Wish it wasn't as Windy

So this was a visual treat. All the fairways were amazing and in great shape. I was referred to this one by a friend and a golf pro in Indy. They were right about it being a great course. The weather was a factor due to the fact that there was 25-30mph winds. (Kinda of brutal on my scorecard.) My only complaint about this course was the greens. They had apparently just laid down some fertilizer and it was sticking to the ball on ever putt. Also some of the back nine greens could have used some attention to clear the debris. I will definitely come back to give this course another shot when the wind isn't as bad and hopefully the greens haven't been freshly fertilized. Top notch course over all however.

Very Nice Course

So I have to rewrite my review for this course because I mentioned a web site the first time around. So anyways..... This course was in extremely excellent condition. I drove down from the Zionsville area to play this one because it's been mentioned as one of the top 10 public courses in Indiana. After playing there I can understand the reason it's rated as such. It has three separate nine hole courses North, East, and West. I played the North and West course and enjoyed them both. There were several holes that were great to play and visually spectacular. The fairways were excellent and the greens were fast, undulating, and protected by bunkers. The deal I got was great. The only reason I gave it 4/5 stars was due to distance traveled and even with the deal a bit pricey. Check this one out if you have the chance.

Great Course

This was a fantastic golf course. The greens were very fast and undulating. Fairways were in excellent shape and very clean. I drove an hour to get here to play this course and I was not disappointed one bit. The price I paid on GolfNow was a steal for this course. If you have not played it I would highly recommend that you check this one out. The staff also went out of their way to introduce me to the people that I would be playing with for this round.

Needed Some Work

Now I really enjoy this course typically. However this would not be the case on this particular day. The rough was bordering on obscenely over grown and most of the fairways needed some serious attention to the grass clippings clumped up everywhere. I understand that the rain has made things grow out of control but when you have a course as nice as this one you want to maintain it to the best of your ability. I know I just caught them on a bad day because I've played this course many of times when it looks fantastic. Hope the grounds crew gets caught up and soon.

Good Deal

I found this course to be a really good deal for the money. It was not an especially unique or beautiful course but it was certainly very well maintained. Found for a great price. I just wish the pace of play was a little quicker. Got stuck behind a foursome of older gentlemen and had to wait on the tee and 2nd shot every time until the turn when they finally let us pass. I would say worth it to go play.
