Raccoon Run Golf Course
About this course
Raccoon Run Golf Course is a public facility in Warsaw, Indiana, designed by Denny Hepler and Vestil Stidham. Warsaw sits in Kosciusko County in north-central Indiana, a region known for its numerous natural lakes and relatively gentle terrain shaped by glacial activity. The course serves the local golfing community and visitors to the area's lake country. The design reflects the work of regional architects active in the Midwest during the latter decades of the twentieth century, when many municipal and daily-fee courses were built to accommodate growing participation in the game. Hepler and Stidham worked on several projects in Indiana and neighboring states, typically creating layouts that balance playability for a wide range of golfers with strategic interest for better players. The routing likely takes advantage of the area's natural contours and wooded corridors, common features in this part of Indiana. Raccoon Run provides a straightforward golf experience characteristic of public courses in smaller Midwestern cities. The layout offers variety in hole lengths and shot requirements, with tree-lined fairways and water features that come into play on select holes. The course serves both regular local play and occasional tournament use, functioning as an accessible option for residents and seasonal visitors to the Warsaw lake region.

From either hub, the drive winds through the quiet agricultural landscape of Kosciusko County, where cornfields and tree-lined country roads gradually give way to the more intimate terrain surrounding Warsaw.
