The Vineyard, Rising Sun, IN

[darrell4wd]

The Vineyard is under new ownership and they have done wonders with the place. I've played there several times including today. The fairways are incredible and the greens are the best I've played this year. I like playing alone there, working on my shots. I played nine today and I wasn't quite done so the owner let me play for a buck a hole until I got it out of my system. This course is a hidden gem, friendly to novices but challenging enough for the experienced golfers. We need to play these family owned courses so they can keep their doors open, you'll be glad you did.

My dad's owns some property down there on Bryant Creek near there.  How much is it and is it a decent walk or do you need a cart?

It's in great shape with three par fives on the front nine, good long ball hitting. They just started winter rates with afternoon seniors golf 9 holes w/cart for $12. Didn't lose but one ball because of leaves, he keeps the greens blown off also. I play once each week in the Cinci area, a different course each week and this course rivals any one of them. You would have to be in pretty good shape to walk the front nine, haven't played the back nine but will this weekend. I'm a recent addict, can't seem to get out enough to suit me but it's only a few minutes from me and you can get on the course anytime. One thing I noticed, at this time of year if you hit it a ton, you can see the ball from the tee, can't say that about many of them.
