Type: Cambridge, a public golf facility, is an 18-hole par 72 course that features 10 acres of water in nine in-play lakes and over 250 pot and flat bottom bunkers. The site, in the Cambridge Village Community, is well suited to its Scottish-style links design.
Tees and Greens: The tees are constructed out of native soil and sodded with zoysia grass. The greens, built to USGA specifications, average 6,100 square feet in size, and feature L-93 bent grass on the putting surfaces, the same grass as Augusta National.
Fairways: All fairways are also sodded with zoysia grass, considered the premier fairway grass for play in Southern Indiana.
Roughs: The primary rough are a blended fescue-bluegrass mix. Native grasses along lake edges, bunker facings, and in other areas help frame the golf holes.
Bunkers: Approximately 250+ bunkers of all shapes and sizes are in strategic fairway locations and green surrounds. Many bunkers are in-play, serving as guides for shot direction, while other are in outlying areas for support and added aesthetics.
Irrigation: The course has a state-of-the-art Rainbird irrigation system, supplying water to all greens, tees, fairways, and rough areas.
Practice facility: The practice facility at Cambridge encompasses over seven acres of practice space. Located between #16 and #18, the Practice Range consists of two split-level zoysia grass tee areas, eight target greens for varying length shots with a mock fairway running around them, a chipping green, plus a bent grass green and bunker for pitching and sand practice.
