What Tips or Local Knowledge Would You Provide To Help Them Score Better At Your Course?
Take a yardage book with them and play to the middle of the greens.

What Tips or Local Knowledge Would You Provide To Help Them Score Better At Your Course?
Many of the holes have significant elevation changes and it is best to survey the shot and picking the right club and line. Hitting your approach shots to the right tier of the green will help in carding a few pars and birdies.

Recent Awards or What You Are Most Proud About The Course?
We are continually ranked in the top 10 places to play in Indiana by Golfweek magazine. I am most proud of the customer service that we provide to our customers and the positive feedback we get from them through reviews and compliments.

What Is The Signature, Most Talked About, or Most Photographed Hole?
The signature hole on our course is the 15th hole. There are two bunkers on both sides of the green that are 50 feet deep. We have people hit shots from them to see if they can make it on the green (this is after they have already played the hole).

What Is Your Favorite Hole? Any Tips to Play It?
My favorite hole is the 195 yard par 3 #12. Probably the most beautiful spot on the course. You hit form within an amphitheater of old oaks to a slightly uphill green. The green is protected on the right by a 20 foot drop off and deep bunker and the left front is protected by a huge over-hanging oak. If you make sure to take enough club to get past the trouble and find the green you will have a great chance of making a birdie.

All of his life, Brian has been around the game of golf. As a youngster, Brian competed at all levels in junior and high school golf.
