Indian Hills Golf Course
 

Indian Hills Golf Course is an 18-hole public facility open year-round, except for an occasional snow in the winter. The par 72 layout is 6,800 yards with ample 419 hybrid-bermuda tee boxes to challenge golfers of all abilities. From the tees, golfers are presented with generous 419 hybrid-bermuda fairways at which to hit. The large, elevated and undulating Penn-Links Bentgrass greens present golfers with abundant putting challenges. Strategically positioned bunkers place an emphasis on skilled shot selection. Out-of-bounds and the scenic Stones River border many holes, highlighting well struck tee balls.
 
Hole 1 1st Hole - 409 yards (Par 4)
Pro's Tip:
The first hole is a relatively tame par four that is guarded by two fairway bunkers about one hundred fifty yards from the green. The most difficult feature on the first hole is the multi-tiered green, which is guarded by a deep bunker and falls off on all sides. Hole 2


2nd Hole - 380 yards (Par 4)
Pro's Tip:
Another inviting fairway, the best position is up the right side of this fairway, from here you will have an excellent angle into the green. The best play on this hole is in the middle of the green. This green falls off on the left side and offers an impossible up and in.
Hole 3
3rd Hole - 519 yards (Par 5)
Pro's Tip: A relatively short par five that is guarded by out-of-bounds left and right of the fairway. The long hitters can get home in two, but most players will want to hit a mid iron lay-up and short iron third shot. The green side bunker gets a lot of action!

Hole 4 4th Hole - 361 yards (Par 4)
Pro's Tip: A short dog-leg right, the fourth hole offers many options from the tee box. The green sits down in a recess and is surrounded by six mounds that will effect every putt. A miss-hit second shot will certainly result in a three-putt bogey. Hole 5


5th Hole - 214 yards (Par 3)
Pro's Tip: A long par three that is guarded by a huge green side bunker and out-of-bounds to the left. The fifth has a large green offering many hole positions and some difficult two-putts. There is a small hollowed out area that will collect any balls hit short and left of the green.


Hole 6 6th Hole - 434 yards (Par 4)
Pro's Tip: The sixth hole is a long par four that offers a split fairway with out-of-bounds to the left of the cart path and also to the right side. The second shot can be missed a little bit left and the ball will filter back down towards the flag.

Hole 7

7th Hole - 164 yards (Par 3)
Pro's Tip:
The shortest of the par three's on the course, this tee shot requires golfers to carry a water hazard with a little bail out area. The seventh has a flat green that sees all putts break to the water.

Hole 8
8th Hole - 542 yards (Par 5)
Pro's Tip: The eighth hole is a medium length par five that is guarded on the right side by the scenic Stones River. This hole is pretty straight forward with some trouble up around the green. Anything long and right will end up in Stones River.


9th Hole - 390 yards (Par 4)
Pro's Tip:
The ninth hole is a short dog-leg right that is reachable off the tee, but requires a forced carry over water and is guarded by a large mound and two deep bunkers. A long iron or fairway wood will leave the player a short iron or wedge into this medium sized green. Hole 10

10th Hole - 508 (Par 5)
Pro's Tip: The tenth hole begins a stretch of the four most difficult holes on the golf course. Be sure not to cut off too much on the right side of the fairway. Your approach shot should ere on the short side, anything long and left will leave you a dangerous up and in.

Hole 11 11th Hole - 368 yards (Par 4)
Pro's Tip: The eleventh hole is a relatively short par four whose fairway is guarded by two bunkers. Be sure not to let up on your approach, because this three tiered green has water short and a bank that steers everything away from the putting surface.


Holes 12 & 13 12th Hole - 323 yards (Par 4)
Pro's Tip: The twelfth is the prettiest hole on the course, but can be very dangerous as well. The long iron tee shot will leave the player with a short iron over water into a well bunkered green. This long green has a large swell that dissects it in the exact middle.

13th Hole - 215 yards (Par 3)
A very long par three with an elevated green, the thirteenth is perhaps the most difficult par three in the Middle Tennessee area. A large bunker guards the left portion of the green with a deep swell to catch any shots that bail out to the right.
Hole 14
14th Hole - 388 yards (Par 4)
Pro's Tip: Like most of the holes here, the fourteenth fairway is guarded by two large bunkers. Your second shot is played into a multi-tiered green with large burmas on all sides and two trees that will deflect anything hit to the left or right.

Hole 15 15th Hole - 177 yards (Par 3)
Pro's Tip: The fifteenth hole is a par three with three distinct levels on the green. Anything that does not hit the green will funnel down to the sides and leave a difficult up and in. The best play is to putt up to the hole from off the green. Par here is always a good score.

Hole 16 16th Hole - 299 yards (Par 4)
Pro's Tip: A short par four whose fairway is lined by trees on both sides, the longest hitters can reach this green in one shot. Your second shot is played to an elevated, multi-tiered green that is not receptive to longer irons. Be careful not to fire at any pins on the edges, a missed shot will surely result in bogey.

Hole 17 17th Hole - 578 yards (Par 5)
Pro's Tip: The seventeenth hole is the longest par five on the golf course. The rolling fairway is guarded by a large bunker on the right and a tree on the left. Your approach shot needs to be placed carefully on this sloped green. Par is always a good score here.

Hole 18
18th Hole - 430 yards (Par 4)
Pro's Tip: The long par four eighteenth is guarded by out-of-bounds to the right and Stones River on the left hand side. The uphill second shot to this elevated green is one-half a club longer than it looks. The two front bunkers see a lot of action; again par is always a good score here.
