HIGHLAND GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Indianapolis, IN, USA
Designed by Bill Diddel, Bob Lohmann, Willie Park Jr.




Highland Golf & Country Club occupies a mature residential setting in north-central Indianapolis, where the course has served members since the early twentieth century. The original layout was designed by Willie Park Jr., the Scottish architect and two-time Open Championship winner who brought strategic principles from British links golf to numerous American projects during the 1900s and 1910s. Subsequent renovations by Indianapolis-based architect Bill Diddel and later work by Bob Lohmann have updated the course while maintaining its parkland character across gently rolling terrain typical of central Indiana.
The routing moves through corridors of established hardwoods and past homes that define the club's neighborhood setting. The property lacks dramatic elevation changes but incorporates subtle ground movement and strategic bunkering that reward thoughtful course management. Park's influence appears in the emphasis on angles and positioning rather than forced carries, though decades of tree growth and architectural modifications have shaped the playing experience into something distinctly Midwestern in character.
Highland functions as a traditional private club with a membership drawn largely from Indianapolis's north side. The club maintains a year-round social calendar centered on golf during the warmer months, and the course serves primarily as a venue for member play and club competitions rather than regional or national tournaments. The clubhouse and grounds reflect the established, residential nature of the surrounding community, offering a familiar setting for multi-generational families who have belonged to the club over its long history.
