Salt Creek Golf Club

Salt Creek Golf Club sits in the wooded hills of Brown County, Indiana, near the artist colony town of Nashville. Designed by Duane Dammeyer and opened in the early 1990s, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of southern Indiana's unglaciated landscape, where hardwood forests and natural ravines shape the routing. The property takes its name from Salt Creek, which winds through the region and influences several holes on the layout. The design works with the natural elevation changes and tree-lined corridors typical of the area. Dammeyer, who has designed several courses in the Midwest, routed the holes to incorporate the existing topography rather than impose dramatic earthwork. Players encounter uphill and downhill approaches, doglegs that follow the land's contours, and greens positioned on natural plateaus or nestled into hillsides. The course reflects a regional style of golf architecture that emphasizes playability within a forested setting. Brown County's reputation as a destination for fall foliage and rural tourism extends to the golf course, which draws visitors alongside local members. The club operates as a public facility, making the layout accessible to travelers exploring southern Indiana. The surrounding landscape, with its state parks and scenic byways, provides context for a round that feels removed from urban environments despite being within reasonable distance of Indianapolis and Bloomington.
