BYC Tee Times

Brickyard Crossing Golf Course is offering a special fall rate to entice golfers to enjoy the Pete Dye-designed championship course located on the grounds of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Greens fees will be $70 for the rest of the 2008 season, a $20 savings. The Twilight Golf rate of $55, which includes a GPS-equipped cart, now will start at 3 p.m.

"One great thing about autumn golf is playing as the leaves change color," said Jeff Schroeder, Brickyard Crossing PGA Head Professional. "The neat thing about our course is that our staff vacuums off those fallen leaves so that our golfers can still find their golf ball."

Tee times can be reserved up to 30 days in advance. For additional information on Twilight Golf at Brickyard Crossing, plus tee times, corporate outings and instruction by PGA-certified golf professionals, visit www.brickyardcrossing.com or call (317) 492-6572.
