Bill accepting his award for Indiana Section PGA Junior Golf Leader in 2012
StonyCreek Golf Club’s third decade started with its first hosting of a state wide tournament. The 2010 Indiana Public Links Championship was held at StonyCreek in July of that year. It was noteworthy in that the eventual champion Kyle Perry shot a course record 61 (-10) on the first day of the tournament. (Speaking of course records, the Par 3 Record is 21 (-6) and was recorded by a then 12 year old Josh Keating).
The 2010’s have also seen StonyCreek receive multiple awards and recognition from the golf industry. StonyCreek was named a Top 50 Public Golf Range by the Golf Range Association of America in 2012 and 2013. The Indiana Golf Course Owner’s association named StonyCreek the Course of the Year for 2013. In addition, Bill Van Valer was recognized as a U.S. Kids Golf Top 50 Instructor in 2011 and as the Indiana PGA Junior Golf Leader for 2012.
2014 will be the 25th season for StonyCreek Golf Club. When we opened in 1990, the game of golf, the city of Noblesville, and greater Indianapolis looked a lot different. StonyCreek’s quarter century journey has been extraordinary on its own, but is even more significant in the greater story of the Taylor family’s 85 year history of golf in the Indianapolis area. What does the future hold for StonyCreek and the Taylors? Another Course? Another 25years? We’ll see. In the meantime, come on out and play a round and enjoy our silver anniversary season on what we like to call “Your Home Course in Noblesville”.
