Battle Ground Golf Club

Just a short drive from Lafayette and a little over an hour from Indianapolis, Battle Ground Golf Club in Battle Ground beckons golfers to its fairways. The club, which celebrated its opening on Independence Day of 1967, sprawls over 160 acres adjacent to Prophetstown State Park. Its championship golf course, originally crafted by Robert Simmons and later revitalized by Tim Liddy, has been a fixture in Indiana's golfing community for over half a century.

Tim Liddy, renowned for his emphasis on sustainability and minimalist course design, has shaped Battle Ground Golf Club to harmonize with its natural surroundings. The course’s strategic use of water and fewer chemicals not only enhances playability but also preserves the beauty of the local environment.

The layout at Battle Ground is as fair as it is challenging, with wide bentgrass fairways presenting multiple lines of attack. The sizable greens and their large surrounds invite a variety of shot-making options, while water hazards on three holes add a level of intrigue and demand focus. Offering four sets of tees, the course stretches from 5,100 to nearly 7,100 yards, ensuring a welcoming challenge for golfers of all abilities.

The club's commitment to the sport is evident in its full practice facility, complete with a putting green, short game area, and a driving range with five target greens. This comprehensive practice environment is designed to refine the skills of every golfer, from the casual player to the seasoned pro.

Battle Ground Golf Club is not only a favorite local destination but also a respected venue on the competitive circuit. It proudly hosts the IHSAA High School Boys and Girls Regional Finals annually and has been the site for multiple Indiana PGA section events, including the prestigious Indiana Open Championship.

With its blend of historical significance, sustainable design, and a commitment to providing an equitable test of golf, Battle Ground Golf Club stands out as a premier golfing destination.
