About this course

Broadmoor Country Club, nestled amongst the Kessler Boulevard estates, stands as a sturdy, yet understated monument to early 20th-century golf. The parkland layout, originally carved from the rolling Indiana landscape in 1922, features tree-lined fairways demanding strategic shot-making rather than brute force, favoring players who can shape the ball and navigate doglegs with precision. While length isn’t its primary defense, well-placed bunkers and subtle elevation changes around the greens keep players honest. Designed by legendary architect Donald Ross, Broadmoor's classical bones have seen sympathetic nips and tucks over the years, ensuring its playability for the modern game while preserving its Golden Age character. The course presents itself humbly, but experience reveals that its true character lies in the subtleties of its green complexes, where deft touch and astute reading are rewarded. While never having hosted a major championship, Broadmoor is a place of camaraderie, tradition and neighborhood roots. Stories abound of generations of families who have learned the game here, with membership passed down through the years. The club's annual Member-Guest tournament is more than just a competition; it's a celebration of the club's convivial spirit and lasting bonds, often remembered as much for the competition as the laughs shared over post-round meals.

Getting there

The journey to Broadmoor Country Club begins at Indianapolis International Airport, a straightforward fifteen-minute drive northwest into the city's gracious northside neighborhoods. The route follows clean interstate corridors before peeling off into tree-lined residential streets where the urban grid softens and the pace slows, signaling arrival into one of Indianapolis's most established enclaves. Broadmoor reveals itself quietly - no grand gates or sweeping entrance drives, just the understated elegance of a club that has occupied its corner of the city since 1922, where members have been arriving by the same familiar roads for generations.
