Indian Tree’s front nine is a ferocious little beauty—tight fairways, slick greens, and no forgiveness for sloppy chips. When the rain came down, the course felt almost alive, and I found myself playing sharper, hungrier golf. It’s not a place to rush; it’s a course to savor, shot by shot, madness and all please have fun and play with others and don’t rush to the game of golf. If you don’t have the time don’t come.

The course was in pretty good shape. Greens had been recently aerated and were very sandy and bumpy.
