The Stream at Glenmerle

"Past the meadows the drive curved steeply down into big trees where the blackbirds lived, and the gravel became dappled with light and shadow. Now, as he descended, he could hear a ripple of water on the left where the stream flowed, and he could see gleams of silver where the moonlight fell upon it. In the shadows fireflies danced."

  1. I live not too far from Carmel, Indiana and I have never know that Glenmerle was right here! Can you tell me which golf course it is contained within? I would love to visit it and walk the grounds knowing its special significance in ASM.

  2. Glenmerle was located near 111th and South Rangeline/Westfield Blvd on land now occupied by the Woodland Country Club.
