Covid Restriction Golf

Drove 2 hrs from IL (courses closed) to play in the Hoosier state. Lots of IL plates in the lot. No club or restroom access so think ahead.. everyone was practicing social distancing, even on the practice green. This is a high quality daily fee course situated in an upscale housing development but at a very reasonable green fee. The course layout is interesting and fun. Some forced carries from the tee were challenging. Pick the right tees for your game or you’ll be frustrated. There are elevation changes which made walking the course tough. Bent grass fairways allow for some roll off the tee. Greed hold well. Speed was slower than they looked. Overall though the Superintendent has done great work for this early in the season. Was worth the drive.

Good Day

My son &I had a good day at Celebration GC. Interesting, fun layout that was in good shape with the exception of the tees. Obviously it gets a lot of play but the tees need attention. Friendly staff inside and outside. A better value than others in the area at the same price point.

Interesting Layout

Played early Sunday with my daughter on Redbud/Dogwood routing. The Rebud was the more interesting of the two with some cool holes with elevation changes. The Dogwood was the flatter of the two and wove through marshes and grasses. Zoysia fairways were a plus. Rough was sporadic with multiple types of grass. Greens were fairly slow with numerous ball marks (an expected mini trait

Not What it Used to Be

Having played Pevely Farms years ago, I was really looking forward to playing there again. It was a steamy but clear day and the views from the clubhouse were just amazing. Lush green hills everywhere you turned. Checked in at pro shop and the assistant was wick but not very welcoming. We were paired with a couple of local guys who were average players but friendly. Pace of play was fine, 4:15. But stepping up to the first tee, I knew right away that this course has really slipped in its upkeep. The tee was no different than the fairway in grass length with big divots. I’ve played $15 muni courses with better tee conditions. The fairways were inconsistent in length and patchy in places. Greens were a bit better but numerous unfixed ball marks. For a supposedly upscale daily fee course, Pevely Farms was a disappointment.

Response from on 07/06/2018:
Hello, we are sorry to hear that you did not have a pleasant experience with us the other day. We do try our best to have our maintenance staff keep the course in great condition despite the tough weather this summer. We are glad that you enjoyed the views from the clubhouse and experienced satisfactory pace of play. We would like to address your concerns in full. Our maintenance staff sprayed the tee boxes on Monday and had let the chemicals settle into the grass before we could cut them, which put them back a day late on cutting the tee boxes. As much as we hate seeing unfixed ball marks, it is out of our control even when we try to enforce it. We hope that this addressed your concerns, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Fun and fair

First time at PGC. Very fun course. A taste of desert golf but fair and not penal like others I've played. Kind of short but bunkering makes up for it. Got great rate on golfnow.

Hills in the flatland

Gorgeous setting in metro Indy. Hard to fathom the elevation changes in flat corn country but this course reminds you of North Carolina. Another plus is no homes, just golf course. Fairways and bunkers in excellent condition, greens a little beat up, probably from recent rain. Gets a lot of play as well. Played in four hours which sometimes doesn't happen here. Newbies need to play the correct tees...if not, can jam up the whole course.

Fall Trees were scenic

Fairways ok, greens slow, rough hard and patchy grass, pace 4:45, course tight, lots of mature trees....that sums it up.

Golf Now deal

Decided to play after seeing a Golfniw offer the night before. 18 hole fee was $31 with cart. Fairways and greens in best shape I've ever seen here. Bunkers a little ragged around the edges and could use some work. Broken down cart paths are dusty.... Had to wash my bag afterwards. City of Carmel's only city owned course deserves better. Kudos to the greenskeeper however for the fairway and greens condition on an obviously limited budget.

Interesting layout. Front more wide open. Greens a bit slow.

Saved 45% on standard rate which made it just about right. Would not be happy paying full boat. Lots of pin oaks and sycamores as it's built around the Salinas River. Front nine more open than the back. There were a couple of holes on the back that were ridiculously tight. Greens a bit slow. Fairway conditions were ok but rough was inconsistent. Bunker designs were challenging but need a higher quality of sand.

Need a Ranger

Being a public course, the usual slow play issue arose. The new management needs to address this or they won't get repeat business. Players on the WRONG tees for their skill level means course back ups. Too bad as the course is is better shape than prior years. Firm but smooth greens, tightly mown fairways, and fair rough. Clubhouse has been spruced up and looks good.
