Pros:
Course is set in the back corner of an apartment complex away from buildings. It is mostly open and wraps around a fenced tennis court. Aimed at beginner level players.
Baskets - 9 Innova Discatchers that caught great. Highly visable.
Tees - 1 natural tee per hole. In addition to signs, the corners of the tees are outlined with red bricks facing the basket.
Signs - Signs on each hole list the hole number, distance, and par.
Variety - Most holes are open and under 250 feet. 2 holes are over 300. With exception of 2 & 7 which play around a tennis court, all holes are completely open. Hole 3 borders brush that can eat discs. Hole 4 and 6's basket are up on a little hill.
Somewhat easy to navigate. Most tees are next to or near the previous basket with exception of 1 and 2.
Benches near basket of 3 and tee for 4 where there baseball field is.
Easy to get to from US 41. Left at round-a-bout and 2nd left. Course is at the top of the hill. Visitor parking at the top.

Cons:
Hole 1 sign is missing so if you don't know where to look, the course can get off to a rough start.
Hole 1 throws over hole 8s basket. Hole 2 throws past basket of 7 and hooks around a very narrow gap between tennis court and brush. Hole 7 also is a sharp hook around a tennis court. These are not really beginner or any advanced level friendly. If I were able to redesign the course, I would remove 2 and 7 and add another hole to the softball area. I would also move the basket for 8 so you are not throwing over it on hole 1.
Hole 9 crosses hole 1, 2, and 8. Although I do not see it being an issue where the course is busy, the layout can be confusing.
There was trash everywhere. Not sure if it is because it is very windy and here is where the trash ended up, but it was messy.
Layout leaves you more confused than impressed.
Very loud since it is near the highway.

Other Thoughts:
I made a map and added it to the "Links/Files" tab to help everyone out.
There isn't much to do to fix this course up other than remove a few holes or moving a few baskets. With the land available, holes overlap. This would play better as a 6 or 7 hole course and it would eliminate much confusion.
Unless you are looking to try a new course, I wouldn't exactly recommend it. It is a nice addition to the area, however, there are other nearby courses that will leave you much more satisfied.
This course is good for what it is. It is a course meant for residents of the apartment. Back when I lived in an apartment in Indy, I told myself all the time that there was enough green space for a course. It is nice to see a course using empty space of an apartment.

Odd Course And Locked Tennis Courts Gives You Thought! 2+ years

Played on:Jun 25, 2016

Pros:
The course at Hidden Creek Apartments is a little quirky, if I'm being kind. The course kinda uses the tennis courts as a centerpiece.
Hidden Creek has Discatchers baskets with the yellow band and with numbers on them. The simple little tee signs have the hole #, par and dustance. The pads have two bricks in each corner marking the tee pad area. This course will never get enough play for the grass pads to get rough and rutted.
Two baskets are set right by the tennis court fence. I tried to curve a roller around the fence both times, once successfully and the second time with distarious results. I tried to throw my Lepard up and over the court's high fence. The wind caught it and landed it in the tennis courts. When I went around to the gate, it was locked up tight. So I had to lie on my back and squeeze myself under the fencing and being swelt fellow that I am, it was a very tight squeeze.
The course probably plays at a recreational level thanks to the two silly/interesting tennis court holes.

Cons:
I never found the pad or sign for # 1.
Two holes set right next to tennis court fence are different.
The tee signs face the backward from the hole.
The number 3 basket is now home plate for the softball field. I guess they plan on playing any more baseball there.

Other Thoughts:
There are a couple signs warning about this being private property so I'm not sure whether we're welcome or not. I have a feeling there won't be a run of players wanting to return and play this course. I would like to try those two tennis court holes again. # 2 is an interesting hole. I want to roll around the corner of the fence but you only have about 12 feet of room to make the corner. Has to be a real accurate roller.
