Cypress Run Golf Course

Cypress Run Golf Course is a public facility located in Franklin, Indiana, approximately 20 miles south of Indianapolis in Johnson County. Designed by Bob Duhamell, the course serves the south-central Indiana golf market in a region characterized by gently rolling farmland transitioning into more varied terrain as it approaches the glacial boundaries of the state's central plains. The course name suggests the presence of water features and tree-lined corridors that likely define the playing corridors and strategic elements throughout the routing. Central Indiana courses of this type typically incorporate natural drainage patterns and existing woodlots into their designs, creating a parkland character with mature hardwoods framing fairways. The topography in this part of Johnson County generally offers modest elevation changes that provide visual interest without extreme slopes. As a public course in a growing suburban area south of Indianapolis, Cypress Run serves both local residents and visitors traveling along the State Road 31 corridor. Franklin itself is the county seat and home to Franklin College, giving the area a mix of small-town character and accessibility to the broader Indianapolis metropolitan region. The course operates within the competitive central Indiana golf market, where numerous public and semi-private facilities serve a population base that supports year-round play during the region's temperate months, typically from April through October.
