The Crooked Stick is one of the most highly regarded golf courses in the Midwest, if not the country, and an iconic golf institution for central Indiana. Unlike other private clubs with multiple recreational and sports facilities, the Stick has consistently maintained a singular focus on golf since its founding in the mid-1960s. Membership is limited and exclusive, but any golfer who plays the Pete Dye-designed course appreciates its beauty and elegance.
