Prestwick Country Club - Avon

--- **Restaurant Review** 1. **Impressive Practice Facilities**: The putting green is fantastic, and there are four practice holes with areas to chip from both the fringe and rough. 2. **Smooth Check-In**: The check-in process was easy and the staff were exceptionally polite, friendly, and accommodating. 3. **Solid Bar Offerings**: The bar had a nice selection of drinks, and the snack options were classic and satisfying. 4. **Comfortable Golf Carts**: The golf carts were equipped with interactive GPS and a scorecard feature, enhancing our experience. **Cons**: 1. **Tee Boxes in Poor Condition**: The tee boxes were unkempt (as shown in the provided pictures), and we often struggled to find places to tee off where the grass was intact underneath. 2. **Rough Fairways**: The fairways were in bad shape, covered with clippings, scattered with clover, and had patches of knee-high grass that clearly needed trimming. 3. **Bunkers Lacking Sand**: The bunkers were empty and uninviting. 4. **Greens with Ball Marks**: The greens were pockmarked with numerous ball marks, detracting from their overall quality. We chose Prestwick due to its convenient location near another destination in the Indianapolis area, and the photos suggested a promising course. However, I now realize that most of the images showcasing the course here are outdated and no longer reflect its current state or designed features. Overall, our group's experience was disappointing. We had high hopes after receiving excellent service upon arrival and noticing that the practice green was well-maintained. The first tee box, fairway, and green were also in good shape, but unfortunately, the conditions declined quickly from there, as outlined in the cons above. Despite the excellent weather this spring, which has made many courses in Indiana look fantastic, Prestwick did not live up to those standards. Two of our group members were first-timers at Prestwick but seasoned golfers, while the third, a local, had played there throughout its history. None of us will be returning. Additionally, the local patrons weren't particularly friendly. Even with two of us being newcomers and the challenge of potentially losing balls in the unkempt fairways, we still found ourselves being paced for a four-hour round. The regulars became audible frustrated with just two minor delays for lost ball searches. --- Let me know if you need further modifications!

I had a disappointing experience at the course. There were no rangers managing the pace of play, and it took us five hours to finish a round. When I tried to grab a hot dog at 2:15 PM, I was told they had already sold out. I wouldn’t recommend wasting your money here. Instead, check out Oak Tree or Twin Bridges. While they have repaved the cart paths on the front nine, there’s still no sand in the sand traps. At least the ride is smooth! It used to be an amazing place when it was private 12 years ago, but it’s really not worth it now. Good luck to the members there; I won’t be playing again.

This was my first visit to this golf course, and it was a fantastic experience. The fairways and greens were well-maintained for the start of the season. After the first nine holes, we stopped by the clubhouse to grab some snacks and a Jack and Coke. Overall, I was very pleased with everything and definitely plan to return!

This is, without a doubt, the worst golf course I've played in Indiana. You practically need a hammer just to tee off, the fairways are mostly dead, and the greens aren't in good shape either. To make matters worse, they've raised the price to $49. The course has been better in the past, so I hope they make some improvements. For now, I'll be playing at a different course.

This golf course is terrible. If I could give it negative stars, I would. It costs $49 to play, but the fairways and tee boxes are just dirt. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
