Royal Hylands Golf Club

Royal Hylands Golf Club is a popular round among Hole19 golfers in Indiana, and it earns that reputation. This 18-hole links-style course sits among the rolling hills of Raintree Springs, about 1.25 miles south of the I-70 Knightstown exit — roughly 30 minutes from downtown Indianapolis. Bentgrass fairways, installed in 2000, complement a layout that demands a sharp short game. Approach shots into undulating greens are the defining challenge here, rewarding precision over power. Royal Hylands has hosted the IGA Publinks Championship six times — in 1993, 1995, 1999, 2003, 2009, and 2013 — and was named one of Indiana's Top 25 Public Golf Courses in 2006 by the Indiana Golf Association. Rounds average under four hours, making it a course worth the drive.
