The Trophy Club 

3887 N US 52, Lebanon, Indiana

18 Holes, Par 72, 72, 45 yards 

Best holes: 4, 12, and 16

This 20 year-old links-style course is one of the county’s gems. The course that was selected among Golf Advisor’s Top 25 in Indiana in 2018, received 4 1/2 stars from Golf Digest and was named to its America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses in 2004. It is situated on 250 acres of land complete with Prairie Creek running through it. There are water features on holes 2, 7, 9, 12, 14, and 16. Designed by Pete Liddy, the course is set to mimic the oldest style of golf courses in Scotland with rolling hills and coastal grasses. The holes are not consecutive. According to B.G. Winings, director of golf for 15 years at Trophy Club, the best holes on the course provide the most scenic views, like 16.
