Plum Creek Golf Club

This public course has five sets of tees ranging from under 7,000 yards to just over 5,000, making it the perfect course for golfers of all levels. Throughout the grounds, you’ll encounter several ponds and a winding stream that makes its way along the greens. With all these obstacles, you’ll need to stay sharp as you play to minimize forced carries.
Brookshire Golf Club
Brookshire is an 18-hole course that sits about a mile from the center of Carmel. It has 6,300 yards of fairways, greens, and obstacles and a par of 72. This is a great course for beginners, but seasoned golfers will enjoy it, too. It features gently rolling terrain, and the beautiful Cool Creek winds through the course. Designed by architect William Diddel and built in 1970, Brookshire Golf Club is a popular course among Carmel residents. Each hole has four sets of tees so golfers can choose their own level.
Prairie View Golf Club
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the Prairie View golf course sits on 206 acres near the White River. The course features rolling hills with oak and sycamore trees dispersed throughout. More than 80 bunkers, a stream, five lakes, and natural wetlands add to the challenge. The five sets of tees allow you to select your difficulty level. No matter what tee you choose, however, you’ll appreciate the well-maintained grounds and greens. Beginners enjoy this course just as much as seasoned players do.
Woodland Golf Course at Woodland Country Club
Try the Woodland Course at the Woodland Country Club for 6,614 yards of golf from the longest tees. This 18-hole championship course is another one originally designed by William Diddel.

The Woodland Country Club is a members-only club, with patrons also gaining access to the outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, fitness center, and several dining facilities.
The club offers junior golf for the kids and golf lessons for adults and children. The Gold Professional staff puts on several clinics a year, and seasoned professional golfers are on hand to teach private lessons.
