Hickory Stick Golf Club
Played On 06/12/2014Soggy but solid
Course doesn't drain well even after significant time to dry out. Cart path only conditions makes one second guess playing at all due to long distances from path to lies, undulating terrain makes it difficult to judge distances from cart etc. Found myself carrying multiple clubs, towel, GPS, etc nearly every shot on every hold. In hindsight walking (push cart) would have been much better bet. Only other concern was that greens were just pummeled by outing earlier that same day. Otherwise course in phenomenal shape as usual, one of my favorites, especially tee boxes and fairways.
South Grove Golf Course
Played On 06/02/2014Tall grasses
Rough and greens were un-mowed and abnormally high (even for a Monday)- both are usually in much better shape, especially the greens.
Thatcher Golf Course
Played On 8/26/2013Nice, narrow 9
Nice course layout, very tight, but playable and forgiving. Greens were in amazing shape, took brother-in-law for first time and he was very impressed. Only complaint was the some of the branches needed trimming, as they hang just in front of tee boxes where normal ball flight tends to occur.
Golf Club of Indiana
Played On 6/22/2013ALMOST "pristine"
The course is phenomenal, one of my favorites locally, but there were more ball marks than I would have liked on the greens- which are huge! And if you were hitting fairways but missing easy approaches like me, it really drives you crazy and requires some solid up and down play to still have a chance at par.
Prairie View Golf Club
Played On 06/09/2013Challenging, but chewed, and redundant.
Full disclosure, I'm not a links-style guy at all. But I jumped on a hot deal b/c of user reviews, savings, etc. It's a solid course (links/otherwise) but I was disappointed how chewed-up and unrepaired the greens were- also inconsistently cut from hole to hole (some furry, some fast). Also, it's open to a fault in my opinion- I don't like being able to see a dozen other holes from a given fairway, but that's just me. The fescue is ridiculous- I'd much rather be able to actually find my ball on an errant drive and punch out from behind a tree, rather than tread through heather and get my legs eaten by bugs and cut by weeds. Overall I found the course very challenging, well-maintainted (w/ the exception of several greens), but boring, and long...kind of like this review.
North/East at Otter Creek Golf Course
Played On 06/06/2013Walkable, parks-style, perfection.
This has to be the best course (value AND quality) in Central Indiana. I walked 18 in well under 4 hrs. no problem. Pristine is definitely the word to describe the holes teen to green. I am not a links-style fan, so I haven't played the East course, but the North/West combo is again, walkable, parks-style perfection.
