About this course
Brickyard Crossing isn't just a golf course; it's hallowed ground, etched into the very fabric of Indianapolis's sporting identity. The course is uniquely shaped by its location β four holes carved inside the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway, an experience unmatched in championship golf. Originally designed by Pete Dye in the mid-1960s and later refined by him, Brickyard Crossing is a testament to strategic play over brute force. The parkland-style layout features Dye's signature undulating greens and challenging bunkering, rewarding thoughtful course management. Its four interior holes add an extra layer of intrigue, demanding accuracy amidst the echoes of roaring engines and racing history. The fairways are generally forgiving but approach shots are key here, placing the importance of wedge and short iron play at a premium for scoring. The course has hosted the PGA Tour's Brickyard Crossing Championship for several years and the LPGA's Indy Women in Tech Championship, showcasing its ability to challenge the world's best. While it may not command the same global recognition as some of its contemporaries, Brickyard Crossing offers a singular golfing experience steeped in the lore of motorsports. Beyond the course, the club quietly thrives as a local haven. Members enjoy a convivial atmosphere, and the clubhouse fare β particularly its hearty Midwestern comfort food β is a popular draw. This course is a favorite for those that reside in the Hoosier state.
