Orchard Ridge Country Club: Orchard Ridge

This review focuses on the golf course. The golf course at ORCC is beautiful. Even in a severe drought (which we are experiencing now - late summer 2025), they have kept the course in excellent condition. Every fairway and every green is excellent. The most recent time I played, they had finished aeration and sanding the greens, and this did not detract from the putting experience (other than the ball picks up some sand). I play several courses in the NE Indiana, and this course is one of the best. There are other comparable courses (Zollner, Chestnut Hills, Autumn Ridge), but other than those 3, ORCC is top notch. The advantages that ORCC has over these three are: * The are virtually no squishy places in the fairways from poor drainage and/or over watering * A larger fraction of the roughs are watered and alive in this drought * Each green plays the same as the others * They have a fully equipped locker room (I've not been in the Ladies locker room, so I can't speak to that) * The staff is fabulous! And there are a lot of staff around to meet your needs. Know that this is a private club. But management is generally open to you playing (once) if you express an interest in joining. Furthermore, there are no stupid eligibility requirements - young, old, male, female, Christian, Jewish, white, black: all of these are represented in the membership. (I am pretty sure there are gay members, but I don't have direct knowledge of it.) If you know a member, definitely hit them up to let you join them for a round. It's a great experience. And the swimming pools, all 3 of them, are fabulous!

Ben and his staff were very friendly and helpful. The course is very well maintained and in great shape. The greens are tricky and fast. A very cool course.

This is really such a gorgeous place, the atmosphere is stunning and some of the pictures that people have taken here for their wedding is breath taking. The staff here is extremely helpful as well. I just love how many picture opportunities this venue presents.

Such a beautiful golf course. We watched our grandson's Crossroads College Tournament.

Beautiful grounds and a well-run, kid-friendly, spacious pool area with snack bar
