Elcona at Elcona Country Club

Elcona Country Club, nestled in the rolling landscape of Bristol, Indiana, has been a steadfast haven for classic Midwest golf since its inception. The course unfolds as a mature, parkland layout that favors strategic play over brute force.

Designed by William Diddle, Elcona presents a thoughtful routing that navigates subtly undulating terrain. While not known for extreme length, it demands thoughtful club selection and precise approaches. The mature trees lining the fairways provide a sense of enclosure and challenge, requiring players to shape shots and manage the course. While the greens are not overly undulating, they are known for their subtle breaks, testing the skill of even the most accomplished putters.

Elcona's membership, drawn largely from the surrounding Michiana region, is a diverse group bound by a shared love for the game and the club's convivial atmosphere. Known locally for its unpretentious charm and commitment to traditional golfing values, Elcona remains a cherished haven for its members. And for those in the know, a post-round visit to the grill room is incomplete without sampling their famed perch sandwich.
