About this course
Battle Ground Golf Club sits in the small town of Battle Ground in west-central Indiana, near the site of the 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe. The course was designed by Bob Simmons and Tim Liddy, a partnership known for creating playable layouts that work with existing terrain rather than imposing dramatic earthmoving. The design reflects a straightforward approach to Indiana golf, where the land typically offers gentle rolls and modest elevation change rather than severe topography. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours and mature tree lines, characteristics common to courses built in this part of the Midwest. Simmons and Liddy have designed numerous courses across Indiana and neighboring states, often emphasizing strategic variety and accessibility for a range of skill levels. At Battle Ground, the layout likely incorporates doglegs, well-placed bunkering, and greens that reward accurate approach play without requiring excessive length off the tee. The club serves the local golfing community in Tippecanoe County and the greater Lafayette area. Its location near Prophetstown State Park and the Wabash River corridor places it in a region with historical significance and a mix of agricultural and wooded landscapes. The course provides a home club experience for members and visitors seeking a round in a setting that balances challenge with the relaxed pace typical of small-town Indiana golf clubs.

Getting there
The journey to Battle Ground Golf Club begins at Indianapolis International Airport (IND), approximately ninety minutes south by car through the rolling farmland and small-town corridors of central Indiana. From IND, the route traces north and west through gradually quieter terrain, trading interstate efficiency for county roads that wind past weathered barns and open fields before arriving at this understated gem nestled in the rural landscape of Tippecanoe County. The final miles unfold with the unhurried pace of the Hoosier countryside, where the approach to Battle Ground Golf Club feels less like arrival at a destination and more like a return to something timeless and deliberately removed from the noise of the city.
