About Aberdeen:

The Course at Aberdeen was built on what was once a horse farm in Valparaiso, Indiana. Opened in the summer of 1997, the course was designed by renowned golf architect Dr. Michael Hurdzan, who preserved much of the natural landscape, including wetlands and rolling terrain. As the only public golf course in northwest Indiana to receive a 5-star rating from Chicagoland Golf, Aberdeen offers a premier golfing experience with tree-lined fairways, strategic bunkering, and bent grass greens. Recognized as a 4-star "Place to Play" by Golf Digest and ranked #14 among Indiana's top public courses by Golfers' Choice 2024, The Course at Aberdeen provides an enjoyable challenge for beginners and avid golfers alike.
