Purgatory Golf Club

Purgatory Golf Club is one of those rare gems where top-tier golf meets great food and drink. From the moment you step onto the course, the care and quality are obvious—lush fairways and greens that are impeccably maintained, offering a true test of skill and an absolutely gorgeous walk (or ride). But what really sets Purgatory apart is the experience off the course. The clubhouse serves up local brews from Bad Dad Brewing Co., and they don’t miss. Whether you’re sipping a crisp IPA or something darker post-round, it’s the perfect pairing for the atmosphere. Even better? Their BBQ is fantastic—smoky, tender, and exactly what you want after 18 holes. Between the elite course conditions, the quality local beer, and the unexpectedly great food, Purgatory nails the full golf experience. Whether you’re a serious player or just out for a weekend round with friends, this spot delivers. Highly recommend.

Overall an awesome facility with one of my favorite logos in golf. Really great conditions/greens, especially for the second week of March. Make sure to skip the hot dog at the turn to save room for the home smoked BBQ Pork Sandwich and Fries in the bar after the round. It was fantastic!

Lots of challenges. Lives up to its name every time. Plenty of tee boxes to accommodate all skill levels. Definitely don’t be afraid to move to some easier tees. Bring extra balls. A round later in the day will offer some breathtaking views of the course. Great food available at the club house.

This is my favorite golf course in Indiana. It’s a must play for any serious golfer. The layout is long and punishing. You can score well if you find fairways and make solid approach shots. Scrambling and bunker skills are required here. You will find yourself in long grass and bunkers…maybe even on the same hole. The wind can make the course really difficult. The facilities are excellent. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. I have played here multiple times, but most recently I played 36 in a day and the experience was top notch. The course conditions are pristine. Greens are fast and firm. Fairways are tight and maintained. The bunkers are plentiful and really well maintained. The holes are all named and that added a level of excitement to the playing experience. If you’re able, go play this course.

This is a beautiful and challenging course on 218 acres. The smokehouse restaurant at the clubhouse makes their own BBQ sauces and never dissapoints.
