Angels Crossing continues to be one of my personal favorites and I feel it may have one of the best finishing stretches that I have ever played. Holes 15,16,17, and 18 are fantastic.
I have probably played the course at least 200 times (I was a member there for a few years) and a few things stand out about the course. It has some of the biggest greens that I have ever played and many rival the size of Old Macdonald at Bandon Dunes.
The course plays fast and firm most of the time and the only courses that I have played that are more firm include Bandon, Sand Valley, Kingsley, The Loop etc so that alone makes it a blast to play.
It was indeed originally meant to be 27 holes but the course hit tough times around 2010 when the economy dumped. The village of Vicksburg eventually bought it (very controversial) and had an agreement that they could not sell it until 2024. Most people I have talked to have said there are over 5 offers for the place now and I am sure it will sell quickly based on the people who are bidding on it have close ties to the community and the wallet to back it up.
The village added a nice clubhouse, a new putting green and have really made great improvements on the course. The original owners had a great vision, built an amazing course but the tough times of 2010 really was terrible timing.
Today the course is packed most days with guests.....full of golf leagues....has groups that come form all over Indiana, Ohio, or Illinois so the course has a great reptutation and charge green fees in the $80 range which does not seem to be a big deal to the players that like it.
It will be cool to see what the new owners this year do with the place as the village of vicksburg will be selling it soon when they legally are able to. Not sure what a course like this will sell for but there is one in the area (Island Crossing) that is somewhat similar and the asking price on that is over $5 million but does include additional lots.
When the village bought it there is also a housing development next to the course with amazing houses and condos so I am not sure if the village got that or if its seperate.
