Golf in Decatur

Decatur occupies the northeastern corner of Indiana as the seat of Adams County, positioned near the Ohio border in a region defined by agriculture and Anabaptist community traditions. The area around Decatur has a significant Amish and Mennonite population in the surrounding townships, giving the county a cultural texture distinct from most of Indiana's other rural communities. The St. Mary's River runs through Adams County before flowing northwest into Fort Wayne, and the county's flat fertile terrain supports some of the state's most productive grain farming. Cross Creek Golf Club is Decatur's sole golf facility, serving a small city that functions as the commercial and civic hub for a predominantly rural county.
