About this course

Rivercrest Golf Club sits in Covington, a small town in west-central Indiana near the Illinois border along the Wabash River valley. The course was designed by Scott Boersma, a Midwest-based architect who has worked on several projects in Indiana and neighboring states. The routing takes advantage of the relatively flat to gently rolling terrain characteristic of this agricultural region, with the Wabash River influencing the landscape and potentially coming into play on certain holes. The design likely emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating strategic elements common to modern Midwestern layouts—bunker placement that rewards accurate driving, greens with subtle contours, and risk-reward opportunities on par fives. Courses in this part of Indiana typically feature tree-lined fairways, with mature hardwoods framing holes and providing definition to the routing. The property's proximity to the river may introduce elevation changes or wetland areas that add variety to the round. Rivercrest serves as a community-oriented facility in Fountain County, offering golf in a region where the game provides recreational and social opportunities in a rural setting. The club caters to local members and visitors exploring golf options in western Indiana, where courses tend to reflect the agricultural heritage and open landscapes of the Wabash valley. The layout provides a straightforward test of golf without the dramatic topography found in other parts of the state.

Getting there

Rivercrest Golf Club sits in the rural farmland of western Indiana, roughly an hour and forty-five minutes northwest of Indianapolis International Airport via I-74 and State Road 63. The drive traces the Wabash River corridor through Fountain County's gently rolling terrain, where cornfields and open sky dominate the landscape. As you approach Covington, the route narrows into quiet country roads that wind through stands of hardwood and pasture, delivering you to a course that feels genuinely removed from the bustle of the Midwest's urban centers - a hidden retreat where the game unfolds in near-total seclusion.
