Hoosier Putt Hole

Place has great potential. However, it has been poorly maintained, and it shows at every hole. We were ready to stop playing a hole three but continued on through the course, trying to make the best of it. Unfortunately, it didn't get any better. From older reviews, it looks like two years ago, this place was in dispare (per the owners). Hard to believe they’ve made any changes.

First, the plus side. The course has a nice layout and theme. I liked it for what it was. The staff were nice. The music wasn't too loud. Now for the down side. The course is basically unplayable. We started by using real golf balls. But the entire green is painted concrete surfaces and real golf balls just roll and bounce around like pinballs. Just about every hole is uphill so if you don't hit it just right it's going to roll back to where you started. We ended up switching to little fuzzy golf balls like tennis balls, hoping it would create some friction to stop rolling. It was fruitless. The balls just roll endlessly downhill. Once you manage to get close enough to the holes there is a small little lip around most of them which diverts your balls at the very last second. There are no good putts, only amazing luck. We shredded our cards and stopped keeping score. I was happy to finally visit this place once they changed their name from the embarrassingly tacky Putt Hole. However, at over $10 per person on an impossible course, it's the last time we're going.

They ruined the course and made it completely unplayable. They tore up all the turf and now its just green concrete. To compensate for the lack of friction from playing golf on concrete, they replaced all the real golf balls with fuzzy cotton balls. The end result is a surface with no friction, balls that don't bounce off walls, and a terrible playing experience.
