About this course
The Road Course at Legends of Indiana in Franklin, south of Indianapolis, is a Jim Fazio design that opened as part of a multi-course facility intended to provide varied golf experiences in central Indiana. Fazio, nephew of Tom Fazio and a designer with courses primarily in the Midwest and Southeast, created a layout that works with the gently rolling terrain characteristic of Johnson County. The course takes its name from its routing concept, which incorporates visual and strategic themes meant to evoke a journey through different landscapes. The property features a mix of open and wooded corridors, with several holes playing through mature tree lines and others offering wider fairway corridors. Water comes into play on multiple holes, typical of Indiana courses where ponds and streams are integrated into the design for both drainage and strategic interest. The bunkering style reflects Fazio's approach of framing landing areas and greens with sand features that define playing lines without excessive penal consequences. Legends of Indiana operates as a public facility, making the Road Course accessible to daily-fee players and outings throughout the season. The course serves the Franklin community and golfers from the greater Indianapolis area seeking variety beyond the region's better-known layouts. Conditioning and playability vary with the typical Midwest growing season, with bentgrass greens and a mix of fairway grasses suited to the climate.
