Thinking About Living in Indian Hills Golf Course?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Indian Hills Golf Course and the surrounding Okoboji & Iowa Great Lakes golf market.
Indian Hills Golf Course is the smallest and most affordable of the Okoboji & Iowa Great Lakes market's three qualifying anchors: a public 9-hole course opened in 1977 to a Jack Cowell design, sited two miles west of Spirit Lake around its own Bass Lake. It carries no membership program and no significant barrier to entry on its own -- what qualifies it is the same pattern found at this market's other two anchors: a genuine, purpose-built residential product built directly on the course. Indian Ridge Townhomes sit on the course itself, sharing a single HOA-run clubhouse and outdoor pool, with lower and upper unit levels offering direct course views. This is small-scale relative to Brooks or Emerald Hills, but structurally the same real-estate pattern: a residential community organized around, not merely near, a specific course.
This entity required deliberate identity discipline: a plain search for 'Indian Hills Country Club' surfaces an entirely different, unrelated club in another state, and other similarly-named 'Indian Ridge' HOA and country-club entities exist elsewhere in the country. Every fact in this record was drawn only from Iowa-specific sources -- the course's own indianhillsokoboji.com site, Okoboji-area real-estate sources, and the Okoboji Chamber directory.
Golf & Course
A 9-hole, par-35, roughly 3,126-yard course laid out among rolling hills around the course's own Bass Lake, owned by Keith Feller and Curt Schnell per the course's official site. It operates as a straightforward daily-fee public course.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Indian Hills is fully public with no membership program found; anyone can book and pay to play. Living at Indian Ridge Townhomes does not include or require golf access -- the course is open to residents and non-residents alike on the same terms.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current Indian Ridge Townhomes HOA dues and coverage directly -- the roughly $200/month figure found this session was not independently dated.
- Confirm whether any golf-access discount or arrangement exists for Indian Ridge residents versus the general public (none was found, but a direct club confirmation is worthwhile).
Notable
