This club has a nine hole course and an eighteen hole course. The Battleground Course is the eighteen hole course. Its tree-lined fairways and well-bunkered greens help the layout to play tight; putting surfaces are large and somewhat sloping. The Battleground Course is located at a different site than the Lafayette Course. The Lafayette Course is an old course with tree-lined fairways. The greens are small, elevated and well bunkered. The course is hilly with ditches that come into play on three holes, and there is a creek that comes into play on two other holes. William Diddel redesigned the Lafayette Course in 1924. Tee times for the Battleground Course can be reserved seven days in advance for weekdays and four days in advance for weekends. Caddies are only available on weekends.

Nice change of pace, Jun 07, 2004

reviewer: Dan from Chicago

Very nice course. I put together an outing of 20 golfers from Chicago and we visited the Indianapolis area for a four day golf trip. After three days of very challenging courses costing twice as much, this was a welcome change on our way home Sunday. Very helpful staff, nice food facilities, and whaddya know..a course that you could actually see the green when standing on the tee. Long fairway bunkers seemed to attract balls, and slightly crowned greens kept everyone guessing on the putts. A very nice course if you are tired of acres of heather and hazards in the middle of fairways.

Lafayette-Battleground CC, Apr 13, 2004

reviewer: Mike from West Lafayette, IN USA

This course is a great test of your accuracy off the tee, it is very challenging, and a fantastic course for your dollar. I had a blast, even though I struggled the whole day!

WestWinds Golf Club
"Westwinds - A shot makers course"
Bring every club in your bag and put your thinking cap on before coming to this course. Best bet is to go out with a member or get a yardage book and stay on track for a 4 hour round. Best quote out on the golf course - "I'll either play over you, around you or through you, you take your pick."

Rancho Sierra Golf Club
"Can't wait to play it again"
I used to golf this course as a Kid in the early 80's and I cant wait to come back and play it again.

Tommy Jacobs' Bel Air Greens
"Pleasent Golf"
This is a fun course with just the right amount of challenge. Pretty with the lakes and trees It plays reasonably fast, about 2 hours. The greens could be a little better, but they don't burn out in the summer. Cost is reasonable for the area and condition.
---Paul W, Los Angeles
William Sahm Golf Course
"Nice and Easy"
Sahm is really a well kept course. Fairways and greens are kept in excellent condition. It is really a nice, clean and basic course. Not too much water really comes into play very often and the sandtraps aren't too plentiful*. Staff are always friendly and the prices are the same as any other public course in Indy. Highly recommend this course to the weekend and beginner golfers looking for a pleasant place to play. I enjoyed golfing there and look forward to it again this summer.
