The Players Club at Woodland Trails





About this course
The Players Club at Woodland Trails is a daily-fee facility in Yorktown, Indiana, designed by Gene Bates and opened in the late 1990s. Bates, a regional architect who worked extensively throughout the Midwest, created a layout that navigates rolling terrain characteristic of east-central Indiana. The property incorporates wooded corridors and open meadow areas, with elevation changes that provide natural variety to the routing. The course measures over 7,000 yards from the back tees and features multiple sets of tees to accommodate different skill levels. Water comes into play on several holes, and the design includes strategic bunkering around greens and in landing areas. The layout takes advantage of the natural topography, with holes playing through mature tree lines and across gentle valleys. As a public-access facility, The Players Club serves the Muncie-Anderson metropolitan area and draws golfers from surrounding communities in Delaware and Madison counties. The course hosts local amateur events and league play throughout the season. The clubhouse provides standard amenities including a pro shop and food service, supporting the daily-fee operation that characterizes much of Indiana's public golf market outside the Indianapolis area.

Getting there
The Players Club at Woodland Trails is most readily accessed via Indianapolis International Airport (IND), situated roughly 45 minutes to the northwest, from which the drive south and east into Delaware County unfolds through rolling farmland and the gentle topography that defines northeastern Indiana's understated character. Private aviation options are available at nearby regional facilities, though the club's proximity to Indianapolis ensures straightforward commercial access for most visitors. The final leg of the journey transitions from state highways into quieter country roads that wind through the wooded terrain surrounding Yorktown, where the club's secluded setting emerges as a welcome retreat from the broader Midwest corridor - a subtle but deliberate shift from the everyday into a landscape devoted entirely to the game.
