Our Comments

Indian Springs, even though on somewhat hilly terrain, is very accessible for those with walking problems. Carts are allowed to park very close to greens and few up, down, or sidehill walks are necessary.

Requires precision hitting on most holes to avoid having a tree between you and the green.

Non-combative greens, always nice and spongy that holds balls. Still the greens run true and straight.

Could use better distance marking, especially #4 which is about 350 to the top of the hill and 110 from there to the green. Note that the stakes are at 125 yds, not the normal 150. Basically, learn to trust your eyes.

Indian Springs does not have barriers around greens. All greens and tees are very accessible for those with walking problems. Even though the terrain verges on hilly, with a cart even very infirm golfers need never walk more than 30 or 40 feet.

The fairways are not heavily chemicalled - you'll even find a few dandelions in the spring.

Jim III is the golf coach at Indiana Springs HS. The Hagues' courses have a friendly atmosphere - highly recommended.

The par 3's are, well, par 3's. But the par 4's and the par 5 are certainly memorable. #1: a long uphill then over or under a big tree. #3: uphill to a dogleg right then down over a valley to a green on the next hill. #4: at least two strokes uphill to a 90° left 150 yds downhill and over water to the green. #7: blind shot over a large pond.


6/30/03 - Greens are uncharacteristically nappy and slow.

5/6/03 - Now they have a full 18-hole Disc Golf course.

 

Disc Golf

Yep, a full 18-hole Disc Golf course. Right along with the 9-hole course is an 18-hole disc golf course that plays from tees near the golf tees to baskets (a pair per golf hole) intelligently set near, but not intrusively so, to the green.

Disc golf is played at about 100 yds per hole so this is a longer course. Said to be quite suitable for tournament play.

This is one of less than a half dozen combined courses where golfers and discers (?) can compete side-by-side.

Disc golf green fees are just $4. You can use their riding carts at $5 / 9 holes. They also have discs for rent.

9 holes short way: 3813 ft Amateur. 4803 ft Pro.
9 holes long way: 4443 ft Amateur. 5466 ft Pro.

4/21/00 - I either play terrific or the trees attract my golf balls like magnets. If you think your game is at it's best, try Indian Springs. The tight fairways and massive trees test your aim and your confidence.
