Indian Lake Golf & Country Club first opened for play in 1928. The course was designed by John Barr. An additional 9 holes, designed by Michigan golf course architect, Mike Husby, were added in 2000.
Indian Lake's is a fairly flat course, which is located on land that was formerly an Indian burial ground and garden, has four holes that have water in play and several sand bunkers in the design. The greens are extremely fast and the fairways are cut tight..
Par for the course is 72. From the back tees the course plays to 6,538 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 5,426 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 18, a par-5 that plays to 561 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 11, a par-4 that plays to 172 yards from the back tees.
Watch out for # 9, a 342 yard par-5 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 17, a 431 yard par-4.
The signature hole is #4, a 455-yard, par 5, which runs all along a lake and has a large, undulating green surrounded by bunkers. A large irrigation pond is positioned in the landing area near the right rough, making a straight tee shot even more important.
