Welcome to the Dykeman Park
Golf Course. When golfers want to play
golf in Logansport, they naturally think of Dykeman Park Municipal Golf
Course. Named for the late judge, D.D. Dykeman, this golf course
was established when he donated the property to the city upon his death.
When the course was established in 1926, Dykeman Park Municipal Golf
Course was built with a nine-hole layout. Then, in 1956, an additional
nine holes were constructed to make the present day eighteen-hole
course. Since then, several improvements have been made to the
course, but not to the overall layout or the wonderful character &
quality which golfers have come to expect.
At present, Dykeman Park
plays to a par 70, at 6185 yards using the longest tees. When using the
shortest tees, it plays to a par 73 measuring 5347 yards. Dykeman Park’s
two sets of nine holes vary in terrain, the front being a relatively
flat par 34 and the original back nine consisting of rolling hills and
plays to a par of 36. All eighteen holes are lined with beautiful,
mature trees and include a number of challenging dog-legs. Men,
women, and juniors may play either using a golf car or walk with a pull-cart.
Dykeman Park Municipal Golf
Course hosts a number of tournaments including the Logansport City
Championship (since 1928), the Cass County Championship (since 1949),
and the Two-Man Invitational (since 1965). The golf course is a
great venue for corporate outings like the Annual Mayor’s Golf
Tournament and the George W. Poor Memorial Golf Tournament sponsored by
the Memorial Hospital Foundation. In addition, golfers may join the
Men’s Association or the Ladies’ League which both play regularly. |
