Rozella Ford Golf Club

Rozella Ford Golf Club sits in Warsaw, Indiana, a small city in the northern part of the state known for its lakes and as a center of the orthopedic manufacturing industry. The course was designed by Bill Diddel, a regional architect who worked primarily in Indiana and neighboring Midwest states during the mid-twentieth century. Diddel's designs typically reflect the straightforward, playable style common to municipal and daily-fee courses of that era, with routing that works within the natural terrain and emphasizes accessibility for a wide range of golfers. The layout occupies land characteristic of northern Indiana's glacially influenced topography, where gently rolling terrain and mature tree cover frame the holes. Courses in this region often feature parkland settings with deciduous trees defining fairway corridors and creating strategic considerations off the tee. Water features, whether natural or constructed, frequently come into play given the area's abundance of lakes and wetlands. Rozella Ford serves the Warsaw community as a public facility, providing golf in a region where the game has long been popular among both residents and visitors drawn to the area's lake country. The course reflects the practical design sensibilities of its era, offering a traditional round of golf without the elaborate features or severe conditioning found at private clubs or resort destinations.
