Frequently Asked Questions

Can non-members play a round at Indian Hills, or is it strictly private?

Indian Hills is primarily a private club, but you do have options to experience it. Your best bet is to play as a guest of a member, which is how we've always enjoyed our rounds there. Occasionally, they host charity tournaments or special events that open the course to the public, so keep an eye on their calendar if you're not connected to a member.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Indian Hills, especially for a first-timer?

The greens at Indian Hills are notoriously tricky, often featuring subtle breaks and significant undulations that can really test your short game. We've found that local knowledge on these greens is invaluable, so pay close attention to your caddie or playing partners' reads. Don't be surprised if your putts take an unexpected turn.

When is the ideal time of year to experience Indian Hills' course conditions at their best?

We consistently find the course in its prime during late spring (April-May) and early fall (September-October). The turf is lush, the weather is fantastic for walking, and you avoid the intense summer heat that can make a long round less enjoyable. You'll get the best value and most comfortable experience during these shoulder seasons.

Beyond the golf, what's the must-do at Indian Hills for a visitor after their round?

After your round, you absolutely must grab a drink and a bite on the clubhouse patio overlooking the 18th green. The views are stunning, especially at sunset, and it's the perfect spot to relive your best shots (and conveniently forget the others). Their clubhouse dining is excellent, offering a relaxed atmosphere that truly caps off the day.

How does the green fee at Indian Hills compare to other courses in the region, and is it worth the investment?

As a private club, the guest green fee at Indian Hills is on the higher end for the region, but we firmly believe it's worth every penny for the experience. You're paying for impeccably maintained fairways, those challenging greens, and a level of service that's a cut above. It's a premium experience, and it delivers.
