Multiple bunkers compliment a creek that winds its way through the front nine, challenging players of all skill levels.

Downtown Indianapolis
Indianapolis allows the golf traveler to enjoy challenging and unique courses in an urban destination known as a sports capital. Dating back to the Pan Am Games in the 80s that put Indy on the sports map, the city has hosted more than 400 national and international sporting events, from NCAA Final Fours to Olympic Trials and a Super Bowl.
“[Indianapolis] has hosted more than 400 national and international sporting events, from NCAA Final Fours to Olympic Trials and a Super Bowl.”
To catch your home team or alma mater, Indy’s top sports bars rank among the best places to watch a game. The number of screens in Kilroy’s is only outdone by the number of signature drinks showcased on its floor-to-ceiling chalkboard. The city has 40+ breweries and distilleries, including Sun King Brewing which claimed four gold medals at the Great American Beer Festival. And Mass Ave’s Chatham Tap offers an intimate English pub for futbol fanatics, just to name a few.
amenities
Just west of Maple Creek Golf Course is the recently renovated Marriott East, featuring onsite dining options and a wine bar. A variety of hotel and lodging are also available with a 10-minute drive to downtown Indianapolis.
activities
Go behind the scenes of the Colts’ Lucas Oil Stadium, try your hand at 24 collegiate sports at the NCAA Hall of Champions, zip around the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway, or attend a game at one of the many first-rate stadiums Indy is proud of. Bankers Life Fieldhouse, home of the Pacers and Fever, has been named the finest arena in the country. Victory Field, where the Pittsburg Pirates affiliate Indianapolis Indians play, has been named the best minor league ballpark in the country. Professional soccer’s Indy Eleven have an avid fan base, and hockey’s Indy Fuel take the ice at a historic coliseum.
dining
Between Pete Dye’s first 18-hole design and downtown Indy’s offerings is the historic village of Irvington, with quaint appeal and the main thoroughfare lined with local places to dine, drink and shop. Sip local craft brews at Black Acre and dive into a delicious pizza at Jockamo before picking up an Indy souvenir from a local artisan at one of the specialty shops.
