Vineyard Golf Course

About this course
Vineyard Golf Course sits in Rising Sun, Indiana, a small Ohio River town in the southeastern corner of the state near the Kentucky border. Designed by Ken Perfect, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the river valley region, where elevation changes and natural contours shape the playing experience. The layout takes advantage of the area's topography to create variety in hole character and strategic interest across the routing. The course serves the local golfing community in Dearborn and Ohio counties, providing accessible public golf in a region where the landscape transitions between river bottomland and upland ridges. Rising Sun itself is known primarily for its riverboat casino and its position along the historic Ohio River corridor, and the golf course offers recreational amenity in this relatively rural setting. Ken Perfect has designed courses primarily in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, typically working on projects that balance playability for a range of skill levels with thoughtful use of natural site features. At Vineyard, the design likely reflects this approach, incorporating the property's natural movement and vegetation into a layout that serves both regular members and visitors. The course operates as a public facility, making it part of the regional golf infrastructure for southeastern Indiana and nearby areas of Kentucky and Ohio.

Getting there
The journey to Vineyard Golf Course begins at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, just over thirty miles to the southeast, making this a remarkably accessible escape from the tri-state metro. The drive traces the Ohio River corridor through rolling farmland and wooded ridges, crossing into Indiana's historic river towns before ascending into the quieter hills above Rising Sun. As the highway gives way to country roads, the landscape opens to reveal the kind of pastoral tranquility that defines this corner of the Hoosier State - a fitting prelude to a course that takes its name and character from the vineyards that once graced these gentle slopes.
