Eagle Creek Golf Course

I played Eagle Creek (Pines and Sycamore) for the first time in 2014. My entire experience was absolutely flawless — from the customer service of pro shop to the prestige condition of the course. Matt, the Director of Golf, was the most polite, accommodating man I have met at an Indiana golf course. He made my group feel very welcome — and gave us some advice for our first round. He even told us to swing by after 9 holes — and he would have hot dogs ready. Matt obviously knows how to maximize the customer experience and keep them coming back. I have already scheduled my company outing here in May 2015.
If you are looking for an affordable, sub 4 hour round on a solid public course — EC is a must.

Course was in decent shape. Greens were really bumpy and inconsistent. The customer service is the biggest problem. They have a lady that is so old, it is embarrassing. She messed our order up twice. Just felt brushed by starters and in the shop. Luckily the course was okay to make it a good day on a warm day. Good luck

The course was in the best shape of anywhere I have played, seriously the fairways are like putting greens however the staff in the pro-​shop was very unhelpful and not friendly. They are always busy with a starter the whole day, that being said it was a 5 hour round. Loved the experience and history of the place but at $ 75 a person we will pick somewhere else next time.

This course is a city course managed by a private company. The course is beautiful, well placed water, vast, brilliant par 5’s and a wild setting. The course actually used to be comprised of an 18 hole Championship course designed by Pete Dye that was close to pro caliber, and a 9 hole duffer’s course. Some years ago, the Parks Dept. built another 9 and then divided the duffer’s course and the new 9 between the two Championship 9’s. So now it is very difficult to get to play the original design in its original configuration. They have also raised the price vastly since privatization and kept the price on the better course (the Sycamore) at a premium. Now for a sad note: I have noticed the management tends to funnel average joe type players (like me) to the course with the duffer’s 9, and reserves the better course (Sycamore) for those attending corporate and political outtings. In my observation having played here for 25 years, they effectively run this public course, owned by the taxpayers, like an elitist type country club where they divide the customers by class. Shame because this is a public course that belongs to the taxpayers. Shame because Eagle Creek used to be the place where every Indy resident could test his or her skills on a truly challenging and professional level course, now you must pay a either pay a premium, be affiliated with a corporate event, or pass some kind of elitist litmus test with the guy at the desk. Taxpayer– don’t go there with your hand me down clubs and t-​shirt and sneakers or you may likely be told the course is full and be re-​directed with a smirk, like I was, to the charming, but known duffer’s paradise, Thatcher. I wonder what other «class» of citizens is being directed there. Still, I go back because it is a beautiful course and my taxes paid for it. i just make a point to insist on the Sycamore course. You should also, especially if you are wearing a t-​shirt and tennis shoes.

Two golf courses sit on this challenging, scenic course, part of which was designed by famed golf course architect Pete Dye. Rates are pretty decent; get in for $ 20-​something later in the evening, and in the $ 30s for earlier in the day. Fairways and greens are pretty well manicured.
