Indiana’s I-65 Southern Corridor of Golf By Mike May For sports fans in Indiana, May is one of the most excitingmonths of the year. Horse racing fans attend the Kentucky Derby in Louisville and in late May, auto racing fans flock to watch the Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In between, there’s nothing better to do than play golf, hopefully with money won at Churchill Downs! One of the best places to play golf in Indiana in May is along the I-65 corridor. Between Louisville and Indianapolis you can find, CoveredBridge,ChampionsPointe, Shadowood, Otter Creek, and the Legends. Once you arrive in Indianapolis, you will find the Brickyard Crossing Golf Club, the next door neighbor of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Brickyard Crossing has a close affiliation with the IMS as four of its holes are located within the infield of the race track. When you play Brickyard, you sense the racing buzz. Covered Bridge Golf Club was designed and is owned by two-time major c h a m p i o n , Fuzzy Zoeller. When designing the course, Fuzzy wanted to cater to the amateur golfer. His goal was not to build a course that would challenge the best players in the world, but instead build a course that would entertain, and delight the average golfer. He succeeded. At Covered Bridge, the 9th and 18th holes are two stunning par fives, which parallel one another and share a double green. Indiana Golf Journal
