South Bend Golf Guide

Playing golf in The Bend means choosing from championship-caliber options.
The University of Notre Dame’s iconic Golden Dome overlooks Warren Golf Course, host to the 2019 U.S. Senior Open won by Steve Stricker. Warren is a Coore and Crenshaw design that is both challenging and approachable, offering an unforgettable round of golf in a beautiful natural setting.

Beyond Warren, other courses in South Bend invite players to stick around for a couple days.

Blackthorn Golf Club, formerly home to a Symetra Tour event, has long been considered one of Indiana’s finest public courses. Its rolling terrain and lush fairways make it one of the most popular courses in the area.

Elbel Park Golf Course is tucked away in a serene natural setting. You’re likely to cross paths with some wildlife as you make your way around 18, often with water in play from the surrounding wetlands. At Erskine Park Golf Course you’ll find city golf at its best, a tight yet forgiving course that challenges all skill levels.

Head to Mishawaka for a round at Eberhart-Petro Golf Course, which plays along the St. Joseph River. Players are required to cross the river on tee or approach shots four times.
