Reviews of Purgatory Golf Club (Golf)

Joseph Metz

Great course and it was in great condition. It’s been a very wet spring and the course was still in great condition; greens were fantastic. The staff in the pro shop were extremely kind as well.

Brandon Dobmeyer

Easily one of the more challenging courses I have played in the area. However it is still a lot of fun. Don't be too proud to put the big driver away and play smart safe shots because getting off the fairway will penalize you quickly.

Shelb Goodman

Absolutely beautiful reception for my bestfriends. Love the atmosphere and the food ofcourse was amazing. Staff was so friendly and I had the best time tonight.

Bruce Cox

Challenging

Tommy Walker

Very beautiful place to golf.

Brian Mckee

Fun

Dan Swafford

Great greens but was disappointed in course. My expectations must have been too high. Back nine was much neater than front.

Jeff Trent

First time ever there, ,absolutely loved it,,,,,,,,friendly staff,great people,

Jim Erickson

Great course. Course difficulty varies greatly depending on what tees you use. As a hacker, the course was not as difficult as I was expecting playing off the white tees, but a challenge nonetheless. Challenging greens, very much a links style course. Really did enjoy my round.

Jake Sciaudone

Great course and layout. In my opinion, it is not as difficult as everyone makes it out to be. I am a 7 handicap and have shot 72 from the blue tees three times and 71 once. Everything about the course is to my liking; tight, short fairways, rolling greens that don't break as much as they read, thick rough, and punishing heather (when they don't cut it). Will be back next year.

Tim Parham

One of my favorites. Always in great shape.

James Wells

First time to play this course and I thought it was enjoyable. Course is fairly open but it has lots of hazards to make up for that.

Simon Bell

Great course, great staff, great place.

Kathryn Brace

Went for an event. Nice location, but there were disturbing pictures of seemingly under age ballet dancers in provocative positions all over. No clue what that was about.

Lorenze Billups

I do not want stumps at my wedding. Reasons to not book for wedding: 1. Far away from the city 2. High priced 3. Golfing occurs during your wedding, with the potential to get hit by a flying golf ball 4. Limited selection for decor 5. Limited food selections

Sabrina Champagne

Gorgeous place for wedding venue, and the golf course rocks too.

Derek Summitt

Very challenging course. Very nice setup all around. GPS on the carts is nice. Nice staff.

shane bland

A real challenge of a golf course. If you love pain this is the course for you. Beautifully maintained.

Dr. Rob Bell

I’ve worked with winners on the PGA Tour, so I’ve seen a lot of golf courses. I’m biased because I live 15 minutes from the course, but it is the best ever! Proud to say it’s my home course and a true test!

Debra Lanning

Nice, lodge feel, country local, all good

Jeffery Webb

Always a great track. Bring the Heather back.

Jeff Welch

Nicest course I have played in Indiana so Far. Price was kind of high but the course was very enjoyable and in great shape.

Adam Strobel

Nice course, a lot of sand so being a shovel! Or a beach chair. Lol

Randy Brim

One of the most challenging tracks out there.. I can tell the superintendants are a-1

Ben Adams

Awesome clubhouse, the course is challenging, but is well laid out, and is a lot of fun to play!

Rick P

Links style course. A touch of Scotland in Central Indiana

Rudy Kizer

Tough but fair links golf. Bring your sand wedge

Chris King

Great course. Played late in day and was perfect. Staff is really friendly. Will come back again for sure

Douglas Stack

Course is in great shape. Very thankful to them for hosting our all star Jr. PGA game last night...they did a great job.

Ken Wiltshire

If you get a chance don't pass it up.

Steven Birt

Course is amazing but no more GPS.

Erich Hollis

Great course. There are many tee selections for any skill level.

Bradley Banks

challenging very well maintained course. expensive for the market

Tyler Wilson

Amazing course and amazing people

Dan Lewis

Love this course layout! Very challenging but fun to play. $69 weekend green fees are steep though.

Daniel Palo

Lynx tuff nice

Christopher Simmons

The layout itself is very unique and challenging, however everything else left A LOT to be desired. First off, the lady at the snack bar was slow and very rude. It took us 15 minutes just to get some food and beverages before our round...and the prices are outrageous! The carts have huge GPS units in them, but out of the 6 carts in our group only 3 units were functional. The course condition was underwhelming. For $79 I expected the course to be lush, however it was anything but. The bunkers that were claimed to be crushed limestone were nothing more than river sand and were like hitting off a cart path. And speaking of cart paths...one would expect paved cart paths around the entire course, but alas once past the tee boxes the "path" turned to dirt. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed being on the golf course, but we had looked forward to playing Purgatory since I set up the group a few months ago and we were all very disappointed. We live in Fort Wayne and can play courses in much better condition for half the price and we don't have to drive 90 minutes.

Daniel Schieffer

One of the best course designs I have every played. Each hole is unique and has multiply ways to play

Billy Crist

Challenging course, very nice clubhouse and bar

Chris Carpenter

Every golfer should have the opportunity to play a course that provides cause for reflection. Thoughtfully designed, Purgatory provides a canvas for golfers to understand how to interact with a course. Purgatory is soberingly different than other courses in undulation, length, use of hazards, and opportunities to be intentional with each shot. There are no uninspired throw-away holes on this track (it is worth it to check out the yardage book on their site). From every tee box, there is a fair opportunity to be fairly challenged appropriate to your handicap (and creativity). This is a course by which all others are measured for those who have played it. Value for greens fees, practice facilities, course condition, estimated waits, overall experience, is unmatched in the Midwest, and the GPS enabled carts help keep the player informed and the pace of play moving. It is a course that can be walked, and the giant log cabin clubhouse is a welcome retreat at the end of the experience.

Brian Redmon

Love this course. Challenging but fair.

Brian Lillis

Great shape, tough course.

stewy kgb

Great staff, great course!

Surin Temyord

There are a lot of traps and hazards.The lovely name of the golf course and of each hole are great. There is a unforgetable golf course.

John Callahan

Great facilities, challenging course. The many tees allow you to play distinct courses each time. OK for 10+ handicappers, fun otherwise.

Curt Roberts

Huge smooth rolling greens, multiple tee boxes, over a hundred bunkers, and ever-changing winds make this a different course every time you play it. I've played every top course in the state and this is definitely in the Top Five.

Cary Jeslis

Took my son for his birthday because we never golfed there and wanted to do something special ! Payed premium Saturday rates made our tee time. Started on time first 9 holes was great know one pushing us and know o e holding us up having a blast ! Turned the curve to the next 10 th hold knee deep with a 3 man best ball tournament !! Waited about 5 minutes each time to hit !!! Sorry but for $80 dollars a person we shouldn't have been put through that , there should have been a range controlling this situation ! 51/2 hours is to long for 2 people !! The course was a challenging coarse ! Just wish we had a heads up about the tournament !!!!

Marlee Breunig

Wonderful service.

Janet Densmore

Very nice course beautiful wildlife....

Darrin Stamper

Outstanding course, great people to work with. Will definitely play again.

Charles Goff

Great tract

Matt Hall

Splendid Golf and beer

Joel Postma

This course has been on my list for some time now. I really enjoyed playing here and if I get another opportunity, I will heed the advice of a couple of others and use more 3 woods and Hybrids off the tees. Just FYI, there could be some better mapping and the cart paths need some attention.

Gary Martin

Just had an annual golf trip with 16 guys and we had a great time. We spent Friday at Purgatory and it lived up to what I had read online. The course was in great shape (aside from some of the paths as mentioned in other posts). I believe the area got a lot of rain the week leading up but the course wasn't soggy and drained well. It also appeared a lot of sand was used not just for bunkering but for the course itself which would have helped with the drainage. The clubhouse was incredibly nice and the food was great too. Reasonably priced for a course of this level I thought as well. Would highly recommend. One thing that would be really cool is if the club was able to team up with some other local courses to offer a stay-and-play or was able to buy up some more land to do something on their own. We ended up staying at The Fort, which was also nice.

Roger Ellis

Nice course layout. Condition ok. Food was pricey

Marty Miller

Held my daughter’s wedding and reception at Purgatory in early August. Everything from the preparation to the sparkler ending was outstanding. It didn’t hurt that the weather was beautiful and with the incredible setting it made for an unforgettable experience. I recently attended another reception out of state, and the food at Purgatory wats heads and tails above they venue. I really think it is a hidden gem in the area for weddings and receptions.

John Cauger

Played this week with my son after a several year absence. There’s really no excuse not to make the drive. In terrific shape and a top shelf layout. Has the look and feel of a Ben Crenshaw design. The twilight rates can’t be touched for this quality of course. I’ll definitely be back sooner than later!

Mike Flanders

It was a pleasure working along side Samantha and her team. All of us at Lights Out Entertainment Wedding DJs can't say enough good things about this venue. If you are looking for a ballroom with a Rustic and Chic feel, that still has all the elements of classy elegance You must consider Purgatory for your wedding reception. You can also have your ceremony at the course as well! We know we can count on the staff to work as a team which is critical to your wedding days success!

marge bill

Tough golf course, challenge to play

Brooke Ellen Freeman

Beautiful venue and great service. What a lovely place for a wedding. We really enjoyed it.

Dick Mandrell

Challenging, lots of traps, but enjoyable. Ask pro shop for combo tee options.

Danny Adams

Best value of golf in indy

David Gordon

good courseGood food, nice people, reasonabl green fees

Dale Lubs

Great course, great clubhouse, .

Benjamin Franklin

The course was beautiful. A few areas were under repair and some bunkers needed sand, but overall it was in very good shape. The variety of tees allows golfers to choose an appropriate challenge level. The price was very good for a course of this quality.

Andrew Skaggs

Great course that can challenge every level of golfer. The staff is friendly and you feel welcome from the moment you arrive.

Bradford Nawa

Always a good time, great staff, great value. You will have a lot of fun!

Adam P

We used Purgatory as our reception venue were not disappointed! The staff, especially the coordinators, were amazing. They understand the stakes for weddings and receptions, so they were on top of it. But, most importantly, they were there when we tried to contact them and treated us like we were the most important group/party they've had, even though they do many of these.

jessica wurz

Beautiful place for a wedding!

Eric Chreist

Great place. I have played the course once but this time we were there for a group event and it was wonderful.

Keith Henson

They stole my mom's phone

Scott Podzielinski

Great course, bucket list experience

Cindy Idlewine

Big place

Mike Ransom

Very challenging course made a bit more difficult by the extensive rains and soft areas on the course, but it's fun to play.
