North Branch Golf Club

The undulating farmland southeast of Indianapolis delivers a surprisingly robust test that rewards precision over power. Rolling fairways carved through mature hardwoods create natural doglegs that demand course management, while elevated greens protected by deep bunkers punish wayward approaches. What elevates this daily-fee gem above typical Midwest layouts is the routing's clever use of elevation changes—you'll find yourself hitting everything from wedges off downhill lies to long irons into amphitheater greens.
