Indiana National Golf Course, Swan Lake Golf, Black Course

Have not played these courses, silver and black, since they combined from east and west years ago. Set up two groups from Crown Point to drive over and play. Finest course in Indiana that we have played this year to date. The clubhouse, courses and facilities are all top notch and fall in the best I have seen. They permitted us to play at a rate of $15 with cart for 18 holes. We elected to play both the silver and black. Both are top notch and very challenging but liked the black a bit more. Extremely long with many holes even from the white tees over 400 yds for par 4's. Would recommend senior tees. Forward tees are available but are too close for our playing style. They welcomed us, thanked us and showed us that they care. We will make the trip back this year and every year. Finest in NW Indiana. Only one close in our estimation is Sandy Pines. Outstanding!!

A little tough for a bunch of seniors at nearly 6500 yds but enjoyable. They need a set of tees at about 6000 yds. The courses continue to get better as they clear out the scrub areas and the sand in the traps are the best I've played in Northern Indiana. Resort hotel area is impressive. A bit overpriced for me.
