The Arthur Hills-designed course at The Hawthorns Golf & Country Club is at the heart of a real estate development in the northeastern suburbs of Indianapolis. Routed across a generous 275-acre wooded site, the route has some quirk here and there, including a Cape-like hole at the par four 7th.

The Hawthorns
Guests who visit The Hawthorns are advised to bring lots of balls tow, since the course will be rewarding golfers who can keep their cool in the face of a myriad of hazards involving water. The most anxious players are likely to be facing a rainy day since several holes throughout the golf course feature lakes for irrigation that run along the entire length of their fairways.
Arthur Hills has never been one to be afraid of the oddity or a healthy dose of challenge. the final holes on either nines on The Hawthorns seem to be engaged in a battle to scare players. The green on 9 is a par five. 9 which is a par five is situated on top of the wall, creating an enticing grass hazard in the front. Another shot can be also daunting, no matter if you intend to lay-up or not, because of the huge bunker that extends for 100 yards.
No. 18 attempts to take on the game by playing 445 yards in the marsh, and a bunker in the center at a distance that is not too far from the green that players need to think carefully about whether they are playing the hole to par or bogey. the wrong answer could result in strokes.
