ranked as one of the top 100 public golf courses in the U.S. Six sets of tees can accommodate any skill level. The championship tees are called Purgatory, but to create a length that is more suitable to higher handicap players, the club has created a ‘pretty’ scorecard which is a mixture of holes from three different tees and measures slightly more than 6,000 yards. The scorecard suggests which of the six sets of tees you should use based on the average distance that you hit your driver. If you make the right decision, you’ll enjoy your round and pace of play improves. There’s a sense of peaceful serenity on site with no houses along the course. It’s just you and Mother Nature as you pass through Purgatory’s 18 tests. The 17th is Purgatory’s most famous hole, but the 10th hole, named Paradise, may be the best hole. Bunkers in the landing area of the par four 10th should be avoided. The slightly elevated green, which slopes backto-front, is well-protected by bunkers on both sides. A missed green on any side will leave the golfer with intriguing and challenging chipping opportunities. A number of significant golf events have been contested at Purgatory in recent years such as the Indiana State Open, Indianapolis Open, Indiana Women’s State Open, Indiana State Amateur, and the NCAA Women’s Super-Regional golf tournament. So, if you want to revive your golf game and experience a ‘gateway to golfing heaven,’ make plans to visit the Purgatory Golf Club. It truly is a sight to behold and a golf course that will make your path through Purgatory enjoyable.
