18 Hole Public Golf Course
Experience excellent golf in a peaceful setting.
Prepare yourself for a golfing experience full of fun, relaxation, and challenge. Our pleasant country setting in Howe, Indiana brings the peaceful relaxation our guests seek, while our course presents a fun challenge for golfers of all skill levels. The front nine features fairways that are a bit longer but more open than the back nine, providing a great opportunity to really drive the ball. The back nine presents a different challenge with an abundance of mature trees, which can be very refreshing on hot summer days.
The layout plays to a par 72 with four markers at each tee box to play from. As you make your way through the course, beware of the water hazards and sand traps scattered throughout. But at the same time, be sure to take in the beauty and fun you are sure to find as you play Cedar Lake.
After you hit the links or when you make the turn, be sure to come by the clubhouse for a light refreshments. You’ll find chips, snacks, cold drinks, and more to take the edge off your thirst and hunger. You’ll also want to browse through our pro shop for golf gear including balls, hats, shirts, and more. Or shop our online catalog for merchandise not stocked in the pro shop.
