Well worth it

We played Coyote Crossing for the first time this year, and I was so impressed with the course. I really enjoyed the staff, the accommodations and practice facility. Greens were in great shape, and the sand was also very playable. Groundskeepers are doing a wonderful job maintaining the course. Picturesque especially for being in a neighborhood. This course rivals Kampen or Ackerman in the price range.

Nothing about Winding River is going to blow you away, but its a nice value course around Indy. You can still play 18 with a cart for under $50. I liked the layout and its fairly easy to walk. Nice staff. A little off the beaten path.

Nice course, overhyped/overpriced

Rack rate is $63 for this course. Its a $40 course. It was in good shape. I really like the layout, and the staff was very friendly. Greens rolled true. It was fairly easy, but offered some challenging holes. Lots of places to lose golf balls. Nice practice greens. I can see potential for a very slow round here, but we played a twilight. I'd play it again.

Horrible Value, poor conditions

We played coffin on a weekend in July. I think we paid $42 with a cart. We overpaid by $42. I liked the layout, but it was in horrible shape. Standing water everywhere, crab grass, poor greens. Overpriced and underworked. Exactly what I'd expect from government run course.

Nice course in Seymour, horrible pace of play

I really like this course. I felt like it was in really good shape especially for the money. The sand was plush and the greens rolled true. The staff was very friendly, and Shadowood was very easy to get to right off the interstate. The pace of play was my only gripe. We took nearly 3 hours to play the back 9 with only one group in front of us. Dad and I had a great time all and all. Be mindful that you won't get around fast if your playing here.

Nice course in Southern Indiana

We played country oaks over the summer, and I really enjoyed it. It offered a good variety of holes, and the par threes were really fun. The course played longer than stated on the card, but this wasn't too much of a problem. Its pretty close to interstate 69, so it makes for an easy round if you are going through. The staff was friendly, and everything was in pretty good shape. I would play it again.

Dandy in DeMotte

We've been talking about if for several years now and finally made the trip up to Sandy Pines. The entire experience was excellent! The customer service was outstanding including the world's best starter (forgive me as I cannot remember the ladies name)! The layout is a great combination of long, medium and short holes. The par 3 holes are all beautiful including one one the back over water! I loved the subtle elevation changes. I think #2 was my favorite hole on the course.

Course conditions were on point especially for early April. The sand was immaculate and the greens rolled true. Tee boxes and fairways were all well maintained.

I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant and the food was on point. Get a burger! You'll love it.

Sarah Shank is a fun little course with quick greens. The course is in pretty good shape for early season, and staff is very friendly. It's an excellent value for 2022 golf under $35 bucks on the weekend when I played it. I always enjoy a go once or twice a year.

She's BACK!!!

I played hylands earlier in the year, and it was in pretty poor shape with all the water damage. We played it again yesterday, and Tom and the staff have worked their butts off to get her back into shape. Royal Hylands is a fun layout and the greens seems to be trickier every time I play them. Lots of subtle break in the especially when above the hole. The sand was really fluffy and the rough was well maintained. Minimal water damage to report. We played the gold tees yesterday, and i have to admit it is a much tighter course from up there especially on the front.

The construction on 70 would be the only thing detouring me from playing here. Hopefully that finishes up soon, so I can make the trip again!

Great historical course! Fun and easy to walk. Greens were in fantastic shape. Staff was very courteous and professional. Course is short and tight in spots. Must pick the right club and right line off the tee. Keep it in play and you’ll have the chance to make birdies.

Smooth, true greens

I finally got out to play the grove last weekend, and it was a nice layout. The greens were the best part of the course. They rolled consistently and true. The rest of the course was average at best. Shaggy tee boxes and the bunkers left a lot to be desired. 6200 yards from the tips and the course has several long holes 2 450+ par fours And a 230 yard par 3. Fun round!

Perfect parkland

Sultan’s run about as good a layout as one can ask for Indiana. The course was in the best shape I’ve seen it after making the trip annually the last few years . The greens were incredibly tricky and putted so pure that it made for a long day. Miss on the wrong side and your happy to just three putt. Picking your line off the tee is critical here. Play the right tees! It can play long with all the elevation changes. Staff is top notch. Will be back next year!

Top of the food chain

Trophy club requires golfers to bring their A game the entire round. The course is very difficult with well placed bunkers and collection areas around the greens. The greens are lightning fast and the fairways play form. Throw strong winds into the mix and the stage is set for one of the hardest golf courses in Indiana. The course was in fantastic shape, and my only comment about conditions would be the bunkers had standing water in them. Picking the right tees is critical at trophy club. It can play much longer than the card depending on the wind. Go, play, enjoy.

Weekend warriors dream

First and foremost the food and service at the resort was awesome! I’ve gotta get that out of the way as they really made the trip for me.

As far as the courses go I really liked the layouts. 27 holes of parkland golf on bent grass fairways and greens is a strong place to start. The course did leave some to be desired in the grooming department. The greens were painfully slow and patchy. This would be my biggest gripe about the course. Some of the fairways had big patches of tall grass in them. Lots of clover in the rough. Neither the tall grass in the fairway or clover in the rough is that big of a deal but worth mentioning. Sand was firm and thin in most spots. I loved the 9th hole on whitetail. It was a beautiful par 3. Antlers was my favorite 9 of the bunch. I’d recommend most play the blue tees. The white are too short.

Goofy layout

We played the red and silver 9 at white hawk. I loved the red 9. It was pretty much perfect. Good variety of holes. Nice par 3s. Fast greens. Thick rough all you’d want. Silver 9 was not great. It plays way too long from the white tees. There is a ton of forced carry off the tee and into the greens. Too much water on the course. I feel like the designer tried too hard on the silver 9 to make it borderline unplayable for the average golfer.

Other than that 9 I think the course is great. Staff is awesome. We had lots of fun

Had a blast

We played west chase a while back, and I am just now getting to a review. The course offers a fun layout with a wide variety of holes. The 9th hole is a challenging par 5 with lots of visual appeal. The greens were fast and rolled true. The sand was actually in pretty decent shape. Some dead patches and tall grass in places.

Course is well worth a go, and I would gladly make the trip out there again.

Annual Family Trip

We've been going to Diamond Caverns since 2009 on an annual family trip. It is always a good time, and we stay in the condos. Course is in decent shape. It plays short and this leads to low scores. Most of my group has shot their life time best score on this course. Friendly staff. Rooms are dated. Worth a go if your in the area.

One of my favorites.

Buffer park has become on of my favorite courses in Indy to play. It is the perfect mix of challenging and gives the golfer the opportunity to score. The club house has some of the best staff I have experienced. Conditions were in top notch shape. The bunkers are nice and fluffy.
