About this course
The Links at Links Golf Club in Rising Sun, Indiana, sits along the Ohio River valley in the southeastern corner of the state, near the Kentucky border. Designed by Tim Liddy, a Midwestern architect known for working with rolling terrain and creating strategic variety within modest budgets, the course takes advantage of the natural topography characteristic of this river corridor region. The layout reflects Liddy's approach of routing holes through existing landforms rather than imposing dramatic earthwork, allowing the property's native contours to shape play. Rising Sun is a small river town with a history tied to riverboat gaming and tourism, and the golf course serves both local members and visitors to the area. The design likely incorporates elevation changes and views toward the Ohio River valley, with holes that move through wooded corridors and more open spaces typical of southern Indiana's landscape. Liddy's work generally emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating enough strategic interest to reward thoughtful course management. The course operates as part of the regional golf scene in the tri-state area where Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio converge, offering a golf option in a part of the state better known for river recreation than for golf destination play. The layout provides a straightforward test without the extensive conditioning or architectural pedigree of championship venues, fitting the character of small-town Midwestern golf.

Getting there
The journey to Links Golf Club begins at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, just forty minutes northwest across the Ohio River. From there, the drive southwest traces the broad curves of the river valley into the quiet farmland and wooded bluffs of southeastern Indiana, where Rising Sun sits tucked against the water's edge. The final miles descend through rolling terrain that opens suddenly onto views of the Ohio, and the club emerges as a serene retreat perched above the floodplain - a hidden gem in a corner of the Midwest where three states nearly touch.
