Morning
If you are here to play golf, why delay the inevitable? We suggest getting an early tee time at one of three local courses on Day 1 of your trip. All three courses provide beautiful scenery and challenging 18 holes. Our recommendations include:
- Deer Creek Golf Club in Clayton: Deer Creek has become one of our county's top courses because of the challenges around every corner.
- Twin Bridges Golf Club in Danville: What sets Twin Bridges apart is the topography changes from hole to hole and throughout the course.
- Oak Tree Golf Course in Plainfield: Oak Tree was originally laid out by legendary golf course designer Pete Dye making it stand out.
Lunch
We highly recommend Brew Link Brewpub to refuel and to grab some drinks after your first round of golfing.
Brew Link specializes in pub foods like wings and burgers, and they brew their craft beers onsite. You will love the unique names of their beers with distinct flavors to match.
They have one called Pretty Pretty Awkward Milkshake, another called How Now Brown Cow and since you are on a golfing getaway, you have to try their Hole in One! Browse their beer menu here.
They offer flights to try or share, and their food is simply amazing. Once more, if you choose to play at Oak Tree you don't even have to get back in your car to drive there as the restaurant and golf course share a parking lot.
Afternoon
Why not take a break from golfing to golf some more? Located in The Shops at Perry Crossing in Plainfield, your group can experience the next great golfing entertainment experience.
Bring your clubs and rent out a bay at X-Golf. Through its state-of-the-art golf simulators, you can choose to play an array of world-renowned courses. Ever wanted to play at Pebble Beach? How about Turtle Bay in Hawaii?
If you need even more afternoon activities, you could enjoy some disc golf, bocce ball or even ping pong outdoors at Avon Town Hall Park or other alternative sports like pickleball at other local parks. See our entire list here.
Brownsburg also has another indoor golf simulator experience called Divot Golf Factory. It takes the experience to another level with different surfaces to hit from including fake sand and rough. The entire floor of the simulator also moves to replicate a downhill or uphill lie.
Evening/Dinner
As you prepare for your evening out, we suggest planning in advance by making a hotel reservation at the Courtyard Indianapolis Plainfield at 450 Marketplace Mile, which is also inside The Shops at Perry Crossing.
This hotel option provides the convenience you need after a long day as you can freshen up back at the hotel before grabbing dinner within walking distance at one of many restaurants inside the outdoor lifestyle mall.
Our top suggestions: Stone Creek Dining Company or BRU Burger Bar (there's also a BRU Burger Bar in Brownsburg) depending on what sounds good to your group and where you're staying.
Both are higher-end restaurants, but as the name would suggest BRU specializes in burgers while Stone Creek has a more varied menu of American favorites including steak, seafood and more. Both also offer outdoor seating.
Before or after dinner, you could also take in the latest movie on the big screen at the AMC Perry Crossing 18 or go shopping at Dick's Sporting Goods, H&M or Schakolad Chocolate Factory.
Day 2
Breakfast
We suggest waking up to a hearty breakfast by heading to Brownsburg to enjoy the best meal of the day at one of Big Bear Biscuits, The Breakfast Company or Flap Jacks Pancake House. All three have become local favorites, so you can't go wrong.
Morning
After fueling up, we suggest a second day of golfing in the northern portion of our county at either West Chase Golf Club in Brownsburg or Quail Creek Golf Club in Pittsboro. Both offer 18 stunning holes that will even challenge seasoned golfers.
Lunch/Afternoon
Whether you decide to play 18 or 36 holes on your final day of this adventure, we suggest a late lunch or early dinner at either Rusted Silo Southern BBQ & Brewhouse in Lizton or Hoosier Roots or Mason Inn both in Pittsboro. All three options offer amazing food and tasty libations to put the finishing touches on a fun-filled two days.
And if you have time, you might want to grab a chocolate milkshake or frozen dessert from the Lizton Dairy Bar before leaving town.
