Scherwood Golf
About Scherwood Golf
Scherwood occupies 165 acres in downtown Schererville, Indiana, with 27 holes of golf. The main layout is an 18-hole, par-71 course measuring about 6,900 yards, complemented by a nine-hole, par-30 executive course of roughly 1,700 yards. Both feature bluegrass fairways and large Penncross bentgrass greens. The terrain is generally flat, with elevated greens and water in play on most holes.
Open since 1967, the semi-private club has long hosted area outings and tournaments, and maintains sizable men's and ladies' organizations. Weekday and full memberships are available on a limited basis.
