Another public course in or near Batesville? Cricket Ridge is a nine holer in Oldenburg, but you wouldn't realize that you had left Batesville, Otherwise, it may have been North Branch in New Point...or Indian Lakes, which certainly fits the godawful description!
I do have a bit of a soft spot for North Branch. It isn't very good by any measure, but it is a case of a land owner who built his own course and still serves as owner/operator. It gets a ton of play from locals and some that aren't so local. It is also my father in law's home course so I usually play it at least once a year.
