Looking for a Golf Community in Evansville?
US Golf Living can connect you with a local real-estate specialist who knows Evansville's golf communities.
Evansville's golf-residential landscape is thin relative to Indianapolis Metro or even Northwest Indiana, and dominated by one old-guard private club -- Evansville Country Club (private since 1900, Bill Diddel design) -- that sits within the city's existing residential fabric with no developer-driven residential community tied to it. The market's one genuine golf-living product is Cambridge Village in northern Evansville: a developer-built 'total village community' of 300+ homes organized around the Tim Liddy-designed Cambridge Golf Club, with its own active Homeowners Association running a shared recreation Activity Center. Golf club membership at Cambridge is a separate, optional purchase, distinguishing this market's access model from Hamilton County's deed-bundled communities.
Golf Character
Evansville's golf character splits between a century-old in-town private club (Evansville Country Club) with no residential development tie, and a single purpose-built suburban golf-community product (Cambridge Village) where the course is a semi-private, publicly bookable facility rather than a private members-only club.
Membership & Access Patterns
Cambridge Village's golf access model is a clean non-bundled case: the Cambridge Homeowners Association (mandatory for lot owners) funds a separate Activity Center (pool, fitness, tennis, basketball) with no golf component, while Cambridge Golf Club sells its own independent membership program directly to residents and non-residents alike. A buyer whose priority is guaranteed golf access should not assume a Cambridge Village home purchase includes it.
Housing & Community Patterns
Cambridge Village home prices span roughly the low $300,000s (starter ranch homes and townhomes) to upward of $900,000 for newly built five-bedroom Craftsman homes, with a reported trailing-12-month median sale price near $550,000.
Lifestyle
Cambridge Village residents share a Homeowners Association Activity Center with a clubhouse, community pool, fitness center, playground, and tennis/pickleball and basketball courts, independent of golf club membership status.
Geography & Getting Around
Cambridge Village sits in northern Evansville, Vanderburgh County, off US 41 North near Volkman Road, south of I-64 with access to I-69 -- Indiana's southwestern-most metro area, roughly 170 miles southwest of Indianapolis and across the Ohio River from Henderson, Kentucky.
Nearby Alternative Markets
Evansville is geographically isolated from Indiana's other golf-living markets: it sits roughly 170 miles from Indianapolis Metro and well over 100 miles from Bloomington, with no meaningfully connected sub-region. Note: Henderson, Kentucky golf facilities across the Ohio River are a different state entirely and out of scope for this market.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current Cambridge Homeowners Association dues and Cambridge Golf Club membership pricing directly before purchasing.
- There is also a same-named 'Evansville Country Club' in Evansville, Wisconsin -- an unrelated entity; every source cited for this market's exclusion entry was independently confirmed to reference the Evansville, Indiana club specifically (golfdigest.com/courses/in/... and other Indiana-scoped listings).
Notable
- Evansville Country Club, the city's old-guard private club (founded 1900, current course a 1922 Bill Diddel design), was researched and found to have no developer-driven residential community formally tied to it, so it is not published as a golf-living anchor here.
- Cambridge Village is marketed by area brokerages as Evansville's 'premiere total village community.'
