8/10/04 - Even after today's heavy rains, the greens were absolutely perfect. The best greens in the city, public or private. What a wonderful facility. This is Arthur Hills golf at its best. We went as part of a small company team building exercise, and everyone had the same "warm and fuzzies" about those greens. - R Strasser

7/15/03 - Considering all the wet weather this summer, course was great for the Fuzzy Zoeller "Bob & Tom" tournament. Awesome condition, tough course especially from black tees. Great clubhouse. Worthy place to place. One of Indy's finest.

6/25/03 - You have to use good shot strategies.

2/10/03 - This course is about keeping the ball in play because if you get out of bounds your looking at a double or even a triple bogey.

This course is all about the angles and making sure you're putting every shot in the exactly the right place.
