Indiana Golf Courses : Howard County
Howard County is one of the youngest of Indiana’s 92 counties. It was formed in 1844 as Richardville after a chief of the Miami's who occupied much of the north-central part of the state until treaties left them with little homeland. The designation was changed to Howard by the Legislature two years later. David Foster, a pioneer who operated a pelt and gunpowder store at Burlington, is credited with seeing that Kokomo became the seat of the new county. For it was he who donated the original 40 acres of land for the village from a section he had acquired along Wildcat Creek. And he sealed the bargain with the commissioners by the promise of a log courthouse near his own recently-erected home and trading post. Howard County is ideally situated for easy access to shopping, recreational activities, business endeavors, and cultural events. Howard County, Greentown, Kokomo and Russiaville are ideally located in that they are just a (stone’s throw away) from several larger cities. Indianapolis, the state capital, is 50 miles due south; Chicago is 130 miles northwest; and Cincinnati is 160 miles southeast. The discovery of natural gas during the late 19th century aided in bringing important industries to Howard County. And with them came such men as Elwood Haynes, inventor of the first commercially-built automobile and of many exotic metals that even today are used worldwide. Let’s see the Indiana Golf Courses in Howard County.

This is a well-maintained, family-owned-and-operated, par 3 course. Locals say the atmosphere is extremely friendly. The holes measure between 50 to 150 yards in length. The course was built on flat terrain and offers a scattering of trees that can alter your shots. There is one pond coming into play on two holes. A miniature golf course is available for children to play while the adults are out on the main course.

Indiana Golf Courses Comments:
This course used to be a regulation nine hole layout until nine new holes were added in 1997. The old nine features relatively flat fairways, which are wide with very few trees lining the sides. The greens are large and flat. Water hazards come into play on three of the front nine holes. The new back nine is more challenging then the old nine holes and was cut out of the surrounding forest. Little Wildcat Creek can be found meandering throughout the back nine and coming into play on six holes. The course features narrow fairways on rolling terrain. Accuracy and precise ball placement is crucial to achieving a good score.
