Purgatory
Purgatory Golf Club is home to a championship golf course that ranks with some of the best in Indiana. True to its name, the layout conjures up images of overcoming its many "obstacles" to reach "eternal happiness". (See Did You Know section below).
The game of golf at Purgatory is a game of strategy to overcome its many bunkers and fairway-lining tall grasses. Staying on the fairway (so the Club says) brings you the happiness of a lower score. This open parkland layout provides a wonderful test for your all-round game, with many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging holes to enjoy. A must play if you are in the area.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

Excellent
According to medieval Christian and Roman Catholic belief, purgatory was a condition, process or place of temporary punishment and purification. Here, the souls of those who die in a state of grace were made ready for heaven. People who led an exceptionally good and holy life believed they would bypass purgatory and go straight to heaven.
Indiana's 19th best course (Golf Digest, 2025/26).
Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
