About this course

Covered Bridge Golf Club sits in Sellersburg, Indiana, a small town just north of Louisville, Kentucky, across the Ohio River. The course was designed by Fuzzy Zoeller, the 1979 Masters and 1984 U.S. Open champion who grew up in nearby New Albany, in collaboration with architect Clyde Johnston. Zoeller's local roots inform the design, which opened in the mid-1990s and reflects his knowledge of southern Indiana's rolling terrain and his preference for playable yet strategic golf. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes characteristic of this part of the Ohio River valley, with fairways that move through wooded corridors and across open meadows. Johnston, who worked on numerous courses throughout the Southeast and Midwest during this period, brought technical expertise to complement Zoeller's competitive insights. The layout emphasizes variety in hole length and shot requirements, with greens that reward accurate approach play and strategic bunkering that frames landing areas without excessive penal design. Covered Bridge serves as a daily-fee facility and has been a fixture in the southern Indiana golf market for more than two decades. The course takes its name from the region's historic covered bridges, which remain cultural landmarks throughout the area. The club offers a straightforward golf experience accessible to a range of skill levels, reflecting Zoeller's intent to create a course that locals could enjoy regularly while still presenting enough challenge to remain engaging over time.

Getting there

The journey to Covered Bridge Golf Club begins at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, just across the Ohio River in Kentucky, a twenty-minute drive from the club's gates in southern Indiana. The route north over the river and into Sellersburg is straightforward and swift, trading the hum of the interstate for the quieter roads of Clark County, where rolling farmland and wooded ridges hint at the terrain ahead. As you approach, the landscape softens into the kind of pastoral Indiana countryside that feels purposefully removed from the city's reach, setting the stage for a round defined by seclusion and thoughtful design.
