Lake Nine Course
Hidden Creek Golf Club


About this course
Hidden Creek Golf Club's Lake Nine sits in Sellersburg, Indiana, a small city in Clark County just north of the Ohio River and across from Louisville, Kentucky. Designed by David Pfaff, a regional architect active in the Midwest, the course reflects the rolling terrain characteristic of southern Indiana's transition zone between the Ohio River valley and the interior uplands. The property incorporates natural water features and wooded corridors typical of the area's landscape. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes and mature tree lines that define playing corridors and frame individual holes. As the name suggests, water comes into play on this nine-hole layout, with lakes and ponds serving as both strategic hazards and visual elements throughout the round. The design balances risk-reward opportunities with playable options for golfers of varying skill levels, a common approach in daily-fee and semi-private facilities serving a broad membership base. Hidden Creek operates as part of the southern Indiana golf market, drawing players from both the Indiana and Kentucky sides of the Louisville metropolitan area. The club provides a straightforward golf experience focused on course conditioning and accessibility rather than tournament pedigree or national recognition. The Lake Nine functions either as a standalone nine-hole round or in combination with other nines at the facility, offering flexibility for members and guests with different time commitments.

Getting there
The journey to Hidden Creek Golf Club begins at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, just across the Ohio River in Kentucky, a straightforward twenty-minute drive north into the rolling farmland of southern Indiana. The route traces I-65 as it climbs away from the river valley, then exits into quieter state roads where the suburban sprawl softens into open pasture and wooded ridgelines. Hidden Creek reveals itself gradually - a turn off the main thoroughfare, a winding lane through native hardwoods, and suddenly the clubhouse emerges in a clearing, its understated architecture signaling arrival at one of the region's most thoughtfully concealed daily-fee retreats.
