SYCAMORE HILLS GOLF CLUB HAS MORE
Sycamore Hills Golf Club was founded in July of 1987. The golf course was officially opened on July 2, 1989, when Jack Nicklaus and Tom Kelley (Founding Member/President) played the inaugural round of golf. The former estate of a prominent Fort Wayne family served as a great foundation for what is becoming one of the finest golf clubs in the country. Combining a great piece of property consisting of mature trees, gentle hills, and the Aboite River with the outstanding design ability of Jack Nicklaus has provided something that is truly a masterpiece.
Sycamore Hills Golf Club has achieved a reputation for design and quality both locally and nationally. Golf Digest voted Sycamore Hills the second best new private course in the United States in 1990, the top golf course in Indiana in 1991, and was voted one of “America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses” for the last ten years.
Sycamore Hills is one of those courses that will outlast us all, and in the end be a tribute to Jack Nicklaus, everyone involved in its conception, and its membership.
Sycamore Hills is also home to The Golf Academy. The Academy is more than just a 2500 square foot state of the art building. Membership to the Academy includes the opportunity to work on your game in a world class-learning environment. The Golf Academy is located at the north end of the range and includes a putting/chipping green with a green-side bunker, year round access to hit premium Titleist practice balls, and the finest video analysis equipment offered for golf lessons. Our newest addition is the Vector Launch Monitor, which is used to determine the ideal driver specifications for you.
The video equipment is the latest technology which features four camera angles with stop action, frame by frame and comparative analysis to track a student’s progress. The progress will be stored at the facility and the student will have the option to take a video with them. The equipment also has the capability to compare your golf swing to a tour professional like Tiger Woods or Annika Sorenstam!
The building has a private video stall, a private hitting stall and a stall that can hold three golfers hitting side-by-side. Effectively, five golfers could be hitting at one time. The building allows year-round and inclement weather access. The Academy is also the home of our club repair facility. With a club repair specialist on staff, we handle all of our members club repair needs.
