Hardest course I’ve ever played with almost zero room for error. Really cool layout and world class hospitality. But even a good player could lose five balls in a round.

Simply the best 9 hole course in America. Big, bold land movements. The course feels like a rollercoaster. Unique twists and turns around every corner. Such a great place. Facilities are bare bones, but the golf is so good. Best preserved L&M course there is.

Always in fantastic shape. Some difficult holes to play conservative on and some score able holes to get after. Certainly a golf course where precision with approach shots and course management is paramount. Definitely a hidden gem of central Indiana!

Holes 1-5 feel drastically different than the rest of the course. 6-14ish are tight and value placement more than anything. Playing further back tees will open up fairways and let you hit driver more. Greens are in great shape and pace was fantastic.

Not a super long course but need to make sure to miss in the proper locations. A very strategic course. The bunkers were in fantastic shape!
