Est. 2003 · Pete Dye and Tim Liddy
Why we love this place
Any course where Pete Dye's mind is at work rewards a thinking golfer, and Bridgewater delivers. We love the centerline bunkers that make you choose a side, and that covered bridge nodding to Crooked Stick is a wink every architecture nerd will catch. Plot your way around and it sings.

About The Bridgewater Club
The Bridgewater Club, in the Carmel and Westfield area north of Indianapolis, opened its championship course in 2003 as an upscale, golf-centered community. The design came from celebrated architect Pete Dye, working with associate Tim Liddy, and it spreads across a large wooded property that also holds a nine-hole executive course. True to Dye, strategy is dictated by bunkering: centerline sand plots force players to weigh distance off the tee against the angle into greens ringed by their own hazards. A signature covered bridge links holes 10 and 11, a deliberate nod to Dye's nearby masterwork at Crooked Stick, and a round crosses four bridges in all. The club rounds out its golf with an award-winning practice academy and remains a well-regarded name among Indiana clubs.
