Incredibly beautiful "open" course with a large lake, generous elevation changes, perfectly manicured grass fairways with no roughage, a great variety of hole lengths, and plenty of large mature trees on the fairways to navigate through and around. You will not lose a disc here unless you chuck one into the water on one of the MANY water holes. Everything here was near perfect from the tees to the tee signs etc. There are plenty of benches, pavillions, trash cans, etc. Camping on site. The cost has gone up to $5.00 a carload to get in the park with no extra fee to play this magnificent course, truly a bargain! Navigation was a snap, and The course is challenging for most skill levels. The course is super fun and will put a smile on most disc golfers' faces.

The course was in spectacular shape. Tightly mowed and trash free. They take a lot of pride in this course, and it shows. It seems to be impeccably maintained to the highest level.

If your discs are water magnets or you can't help yourself from throwing into the water it probably won't be as fun of a trek. Two-thirds of the courses holes have water on them, but the water hazards can be minimized by cautious play and alternate pads for those leary of the longer carries. Or, you could go for it and play "risk/reward" style.

Some of the holes are a little close to each other. We played on a Tuesday morning and had the whole course to ourselves, so no issues. A couple of holes play near park roads. Traffic was minimal though so again, not an issue on a weekday morning.

There were a few people fishing the lake, some behind pins near the water. They seemed oblivious to the fact that dangerous pieces of plastic might come whizzing at them at a high rate of speed.

The highest-rated Indiana course (as of this review) doesn't disappoint. It's stunningly beautiful, challenging, and super fun. I would caution new throwers and low-level recs and those with a weak constitution. There is a lot of water here and some longer challenging holes and plenty of elevation changes. Everyone in my group loved it though and we only lost two discs! One of my buddies had one of his water throws that was floating rescued and returned to us by a park worker in a boat. How cool is that!

If in the area I would definitely give this one another toss. Well done!

Prides Creek Park is a beautiful park surrounding a lake, with grass covered rolling hills and lots of mature trees. The water is in play on several holes, and the long tees make it a formidable challenge. Course layout has a good flow and is pretty easy to follow. Consistent high quality holes with great variety of looks. I played one round, from the long tees, and shot a 4 over par 64. I missed multiple birdie putts, and threw a couple of shots in the water (lost a disc on hole 5). Also had a couple of bad approaches that cost me shots. Under par is totally possible, but you need to bring your A game. My only birdies were holes 10 and 11, the two shortest holes on the course. There are no bad holes on the course. I liked the first 14 a lot, and the last 4 are a bit more vanilla, but still have nice lines and elevation changes to keep it interesting and fun. So many good holes, but to me the highlights included a nice, long, downhill drive through the trees to the waters edge. 5 is another great longer hole that bends and features the first water crossing, if you want to go at it like that. Then I had an incredibly lucky drive on 6 that miraculously skipped like a stone across the water after a low driver throw, and saved my par when it jumped back on dry land. Hole 8 is a bomb across the water from the long tee that had me holding my breath hoping to clear. I also really liked 14, which is from the top of one hill to another, going around a big stand of trees growing in the low spot in between. I threw a big anhyzer with a really stable driver into the wind, and it landed within 25 feet of the pin, but I couldn't convert the putt.

Pay to play, and I was not clear exactly where to put the money and how much of it to leave. I got my moneys worth for sure. Sorry about the loose change in the mailbox guys. Water and length will make this a tough course for beginners. Lost a good champion Wraith to the lake on hole 5, throwing a sidearm that I knew was high risk, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Check this park out for sure if at all possible. It is well kept, well equipped, and very fun. Worth every penny. This course reminded me of Madisonville DGC in Kentucky, but with slightly better elevation, and more water in play. Challenging and fun from start to finish. Talked to a crew of guys there and they seemed nice, I would stay in a pretty good mood too if I got to play Prides Creek on a regular basis. Quite possibly my favorite of the courses that I've played in Indiana.

1) Absolutely perfect fairways. You will not loose a disc if you land on the grass. Just impossible. Perfectly mowed.

2) Great, great, great mixture of risk/reward ratio. Do you risk the water to make the birdie or go for the 3? There are holes you HAVE to go over water but they are reached by most beginner players as they are around 200ft in length. The longer holes have alternate tee pads as some are a long carry over a lot of water.

3) Very pretty course. Lots of the baskets are placed on an peninsula where you can easily toss your errant putt into the water.

4) There is a hole for every style of play. There is no one type of player who will win on this course. You need a well rounded bag to get through it.

5) Water, water and more water. How the course designers ever got the park to commit to the hole layout is beyond me. Just great placement and amazing use of the land.

6) I loved hole 4. Just a blast of a hole.

1) The amount of walking between holes especially the front 9. Just felt like I was walking farther distances than the actual hole I just played. I understand the reason why but a few hole placements (especially 10) really boggle the mind.

2) Lots and lots of pedestrian traffic. Although I played on an iffy Saturday there still was quite a bit of people fishing near a few baskets. It could become troublesome in the future.

3) Some of the tee pads are unlevel. While just a personal preference it can be mildly annoying especially when wet.

This is just a fantastic course.

Its right off I69 and only a few minutes outside of the town of Petersburg. We played two rounds and ate lunch in between.

While playing is free, there is a $2 entry fee for the park. Just an FYI.

It would be nice if there could be some bridges added in the future on certain holes like #4 and #5 it could really make it a "sweet" feature and shorten the amount you need to walk but thats dreaming.

Prides Creek is a great disc golf course with well-balanced challenges, a variety of shots, excellent maintenance and visual appeal.

-Perfect start to the course. Hole 1 is a phenomenal start with a 500ft hole that has a tight gap to hit off the pad and opens up to allow for big distance towards the lake. It rewards good placement/accuracy though, with the lake surrounding the left and back side of the basket about 30ft away.

-Distance variety: 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700ft holes. The longer holes have short teepads as well. The par 4's on this course are true par 4's.

-Shot variety: Long bombs, ace runs, low ceiling, placement shots. I'm RHBH and don't throw much forehand, but it seems like a well-balanced course for lefties and righties. There are also options for rollers, thumbers, tomahawks, and skip shots (on grass and on water). If you're a creative shot-taker, you can make up strokes by finding lines most others won't try.

-Use of elevation is good, with a lot of downhill shots, uphill shots, right-to-left, and left-to-right hills. Also some baskets placed right before a big downhill that creates a much more difficult approach or baskets on an uphill that allow for an ace run but also present the possibility of a rollaway putt.

-Well-maintained, in 4 visits the course has always looked like it was ready for a tournament. Unless you throw one in the water, you should leave with the same amount of discs you start with as there aren't any nasty "rough" areas.

-Nice teepads, not anything crazy but definitely wide enough and long enough to please most golfers.

-Holes where you throw over water have a short teepad or an easy layup over the water, so if you're worried about losing discs or not having enough distance just play smart.

-No crossing of fairways. I'm sure it will happen, but chances are pretty low of getting a disc on another fairway where someone else is throwing.

-No blind shots at basket, which I've noticed at other courses can be a bit of a safety issue.

-Starts off with some longer walks between holes. For hole layout it's completely understandable why it's like this, but nonetheless I was putting more steps in getting to the next teepad than I have on other courses.

-Some teepads aren't level. Maybe this is only personal preference, but I like to have a level teepad even if I'm throwing uphill/downhill. Most are flat since a lot of them were placed on flat ground, but a few are angled with the hill they were placed on which might cause some weight-shift issues while driving.

-Campers. Most pedestrians are on the road in golf carts so they're out of your way pretty quick. But there are some camp sites, more specifically the one on hole 9, that will make you skip a hole or play from the shorts if somebody is there.

Had this in the cons, but this really isn't the courses fault so moved it down here: The course is located in the middle of the Evansville to Bloomington I-69 stretch, where there is literally no-where to stop for gas/drinks that isn't miles off the interstate. Luckily there are a couple restaurants and a gas station or two in Petersburg which aren't too far once you've already driven to the course.

Anyways, this is an amazing course and my favorite in the area. Whether you're a casual golfer or a traveling pro you should encounter a fun, challenging course in Prides Creek Park.

This course has a little bit of it all, right/left, left/right, straight, water shots, fast greens, you name it.

Some longer holes that are a little wide open to crush, some shorter holes that have a nice pin placement.

Hole 1 starts you off nice with a downhill RHBH hyzer at 524 ft, key is to get it in a good spot to have a nice upshot, of course with the water lingering behind the basket you are most likely going to leave your approach short. I love the variety that offers, go for it and take another stroke or lay up short again for an easy par 4. Love it.

Hole 4, nice placement shot off the tee, basket is on a peninsula with a conifer in the water. Must land flat on the green to prevent a roll away back into the water. Love this.

Hole 5, short straight shot over some water at about 250. Dig it!

Hole 10 is a nice change up from the longer holes, almost a straight shot with a hill for a good ace run, helps the course flow well.

Hole 13, along the road, 210ish to clear the water, with OB across the road, fun shot, especially with the wind.

I could go on and on but I'll cut the pros short.

Cons, very few, hole 9 from the long, once you clear the trees it is just a long wide open shot. That is just being picky, but other than that, no cons. Maybe a few benches, a bathroom, and a water fountain could be added.

Best course in Southern Indiana, between it and Sevrien Lang it is a tough battle, I'd say Prides gets it with its element of water, and pin placements that provide more risk-reward opportunity.
