Plum Creek Golf Club

3-PLUS: Good course - several memorable features; worthy of 3½ stars.

Est. 1999

Plum Creek Golf Club is home to a locally well-regarded open parkland layout. Located in the northern outskirts of the city of Indianapolis, and formerly a member of the Pete Dye Golf Trail, Plum Creek exudes many classic Pete Dye design features.

This eminently playable and relatively open layout features tall grasses, multiple water hazards, strategically placed bunkers, testing green complexes and plenty of challenge for golfers of all skill levels.

The front-nine loop winds through the Plum Creek neighbourhood, with the holes laid out in pairs, one heading out, one back. The back-nine loops around Purdue University's Lynwood Barn and features most of the water hazards. Here you'll find large ponds flanking the fairways, and plenty of long ribbon like bunkers as well as mischievous pot bunkers ... giveaway Pete Dye traits.

Pick of the holes: the par-5 17th and par-4 18th holes create an excellent finishing duo, both flanked by the same large pond.
