I recently had the opportunity to play Indian Hills Country Club, located in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It was a Chamber of Commerce Scramble and I enjoyed it as much as any scramble I’ve ever played.
Several things contributed to this enjoyment :
1) The course was in tremnedous shape. Especially considering how wet of a spring we’ve had here in south central Kentucky.
2) The greens were PGA Tour quality. May have been in the top 3 of all greens I’ve ever had the good fortune to play.
3) The course was well designed. The architect did a fantastic job of varying the lengths of par 3′s and the difficulty of the par 4′s and 5′s.
4) My playing partners were as good a group of guys as has ever been assembled. Charlie Henry of Lee Brick & Block in Bowling Green, KY. Jim Ivey of RBS Design Group Architects in Owensboro, KY and Barry Bland of BA Architecture Associates, Bowling Green, KY.
5) The weather was as bad as you could have dreaded…until we started to play and then it turned into an outstanding day for golf.
If you ever get the chance to play this 50 year old gem, don’t hesitate to give it a try.
