The risky layup decision on the massive par-5 second—locals say this is where rounds are won or lost.
Twin Bridges Golf Club, routed by Robert M. Lohmann, unfolds across 250 acres of Indiana creekland, working with the natural contours of White Lick Creek to craft a series of challenging, varied holes. The layout is defined by its shifting orientation, moderate use of water as both hazard and backdrop, and a clear bias toward shot-shaping and thoughtful tee play. Several holes encourage a fade, while the course’s length and strategic bunkering test both long hitters and everyday players. While the greens offer contour, they tend to play soft, so the premium is on accurate approaches and tee positioning. With seven+ tee boxes, the layout adjusts broadly for all comers, but never fully loses its backbone of power golf and creekside risk.
Robert M. Lohmann’s design leverages natural Indiana water corridors to shape a strategic, challenging modern public layout.
At 601 yards from the tips, this opening par-5 is both the longest and most intimidating par-5 on the course, hugging the creek as it snakes left. To score well, players must balance aggressive driving with careful placement to set up a realistic chance at par—or better.
Keep your tee shot center-right to avoid trouble, then play for position on your second; reaching in two is rare, so manage your layup tightly.
A creek encroaches and tough dogleg left means a pull or push off the tee will result in trouble early.
Overall solid, but expect soft greens and occasionally rough fairways; bunkers may need work.
Pace can vary by season and time; call ahead during peak times. (needs-verification)

Named Hendricks County's Best Golf Course (sixth time in seven years)
Twin Bridges was developed as part of an expansive plan to turn a former landfill area into a recreational paradise, with golf as its centerpiece. Its design embraces dramatic Indiana creekland, transforming reclaimed land into a lively sporting ground.
Several holes are known to favor a fade, demanding shaped tee shots from the start of your round. Locals love debating which opener causes more nerves—the lengthy par-4 first, or the behemoth par-5 second.
Big hitters circle the 601-yard par-5 second on their card, but its true defense is positioning, not just power. The dogleg and creek combine for one of Indiana’s longest, most demanding par-5s—and a true separator for scorecards.
The second hole stretches to 601 yards—one of Indiana's longest par-5s open to the public.
