GOLF
18-Hole Championship Course
Crawfordsville Country Club, founded in 1906, is the second-oldest golf course in Indiana. Nestled along the banks of Sugar Creek, the property was once the summer home of General Lew Wallace, who affectionately named it “Water Babble” for the natural springs that flowed through the grounds.
The 18-hole championship course spans 132 scenic acres on the east edge of Crawfordsville, offering a serene and picturesque setting for golfers.
Course Features
The course features a tree-lined front nine and rolling hills on the back nine, providing variety to the player without sacrificing playability. Designed to challenge players of all skill levels, Crawfordsville Country Club offers well-groomed reconstructed fairways and greens with pace. Golfers can enjoy lush fairways, strategic bunkers, and picturesque surroundings on every hole.
The architect who designed the Crawfordsville Country Club course was William H. “Bill” Diddel. He was an accomplished amateur golfer, even winning the Indiana Amateur Championship, and celebrated golf course designer born in Indianapolis, Indiana. Diddel’s work is still celebrated and his influence on American golf courses is noted by golf course architect Ron Kern.
Driving Range & Practice Facility
Crawfordsville Country Club offers a well-equipped practice facility designed to enhance golfers’ skills. The facility features 10 hitting stations with new tee areas and targets, allowing players to work on their driving and iron play.
A newly added putting green provides space for short game practice, while a chipping green with two refreshed bunkers offers opportunities to refine approach shots and sand play.
Additionally, the club provides golf lessons for individuals looking to improve their game.
