What's the golf experience like at Blackford County's only course?
You'll find Blackford County's sole course, Montpelier Golf Club, is a delightful surprise. It's a classic Midwestern parkland layout - well-maintained, with mature trees defining many fairways and greens that reward a precise short game. We love how it offers a relaxed round without pretension, perfect for a casual day.
When's the best time to visit Blackford County for golf?
We highly recommend visiting Blackford County for golf in late spring or early fall. The weather is usually perfect - comfortable temperatures and lower humidity - making for ideal playing conditions. You'll avoid the intense summer heat and the unpredictable early spring chill.
Is Blackford County a good destination for a dedicated golf trip, given it only has one course?

Expect very reasonable green fees, typically in the $30-$50 range with a cart, making it an excellent value for a well-maintained public course. You won't break the bank here.
Beyond the golf course, what else can I do in Blackford County?
