Culver Academies Golf Course

I had the privilege of attending Culver as a student.

Culver Academies Golf Course is a fantastic gem in the middle of northern Indiana.

Yale Golf Club’s much-heralded restoration via Gil Hanse has come with a price tag that will shock and awe anyone familiar with such things: $25 million.

In the argument for the best nine hole course in America, Culver is about as pure a golf experience as you can have.

It’s hard to tell people to go out of their way to play a nine hole course but that’s exactly what I’m suggesting you do.

Culver was originally meant to be a 27 hole course, but likely due to the Great Depression and the expansion of Culver Military Academy’s airfield just north of the course, Langford and Moreau’s charmer was kept to nine holes.
