So Green, So Close
Golfing in Indiana
By Sally Campbell Grout
Golf. The ball is so little – and the hole is so far away. The game itself can be challenging, frustrating and downright maddening. So what brings players back round after round after round? Maybe it's the chance to spend the day on beautiful courses like these in Indiana.
The Course at Aberdeen, ValparaisoAmong golfers, the "19th hole" is the legendary place to relax. But the Aberdeen Grill overlooking the 10th fairway at The Course at Aberdeen in Valparaiso offers a beautiful view and a great place to enjoy a fast, fresh meal.
But, let's face it, the day isn't about the food – it's about the game. And this one takes place in a course with rolling hills, woods and beautiful natural surroundings. Resort-style valet service and a spike changing station complete an ideal day. For more information, call 219-462-5050.
Want to save your energy for your swing? Then ride along the paved cart paths that wind through 36 holes of championship golf. As home to the United States Golf Academy, Swan Lake Resort in Plymouth offers complete golf and training facilities and pros with tips on how to improve every aspect of your game. Spend some time in the outdoor pool, whirlpools, sauna and exercise room, and your visit becomes a full-scale retreat. Indiana's Amish Country and the University of Notre Dame are each about a half-hour drive away. For more information, call 800-582-7539.
What a weekend! With two courses side by side – Club Run and Walnut Creek
