About this course

Harrison Lake Country Club sits in Columbus, Indiana, a city known for its modern architecture and design heritage. The course was designed by Bob Simmons and Gary Kern, architects who have worked primarily in the Midwest creating layouts for private clubs and daily-fee facilities. The routing takes advantage of natural terrain in southern Indiana, where gently rolling topography and mature tree cover provide the framework for strategic golf. The course incorporates water features, including the lake for which it is named, into several holes. Tree-lined fairways and elevation changes create variety in shot-making demands, typical of parkland courses in this region. The design balances accessibility for members with enough challenge to test accomplished players, a common approach for country clubs serving a range of skill levels. Harrison Lake Country Club functions as a traditional private club, providing a social and recreational center for families in the Columbus area. The membership enjoys not only golf but also dining and other amenities typical of country club life in smaller Midwestern cities. The course hosts member competitions and club championships throughout the season, maintaining an active calendar of events that reinforce the club's community role. The setting reflects the character of southern Indiana golf, where courses work within natural wooded landscapes rather than dramatic landforms. Harrison Lake offers a straightforward, well-maintained test of golf suited to regular play and member enjoyment.

Getting there

Most visitors to Harrison Lake Country Club arrive through Indianapolis International Airport, roughly an hour's drive to the north, before heading south on Interstate 65 through the gently rolling farmland of central Indiana. The final stretch into Columbus - a town renowned for its modernist architecture and quiet civic pride - trades the interstate for tree-lined avenues that reveal glimpses of Eero Saarinen churches and I.M. Pei libraries before reaching the club's secluded lakeside setting. For those traveling by private aircraft, Columbus Municipal Airport sits just minutes from the property, offering a discreet arrival befitting this understated Midwestern retreat.
