Indiana’s I-64 Corridor: A ‘Hot-Bed’ For Hoosier Golf By Mike May One of the most scenic stretches of the interstate highway system in the U.S. is the section of I-64 across southern Indiana from Jeffersonville west to the Indiana/Illinois border, just north of Evansville. In addition to easy access on and off I-64, the geographic location of seven spectacular publicaccess golf courses in southern Indiana means that golf is being played for the majority of the calendar year -- starting in March and continuing well into November and potentially into December. Covered Bridge Golf Club When you mix golf, a historic Indiana landmark, and southern Indiana’s most beloved golfer, you get Fuzzy Zoeller’s Covered Bridge Golf Club. This Fuzzy Zoeller/Clyde-Johnston-design features 18 holes which are carved through the gorgeous landscape of southern Indiana. Even though the degree of difficulty is enhanced by the presence of five lakes, a meandering stream, and plenty of trees, this golf course is playable for the average golfer. The greens are puttable, and the rough is manageable. The two finishing’ holes, the 9th and 18th, both par 5s, parallel one another, and share a huge double green. Chariot Run Golf Club The Chariot Run Golf Club, one of Indiana’s top public golf courses, is an 18-hole, American-style links course featuring bent grass greens, wellmaintained fairways, and sparkling lakes. In 2019, Golf Advisor ranked the Chariot Run Golf Club as the Top Course in Indiana. In 2018, Golfweek listed Chariot Run as Indiana’s 4th Best Course You Can Play.
