About
Laid out on the east banks of the White River in the town of Fishers, this par-71 Gary Kern design offers a pleasant parkland round of golf. As a country club that is open for public play, River Glen serves up a friendly atmosphere and superb course conditions. Recent renovations have elevated the course in the eyes of locals and visitors alike, and it is regarded as one of Hamilton County’s best places for a round.

Awesome layout - great conditions!
First time playing this course but not the last. Conditions as good as a private club I am a member at and an extremely good value for the money. Will return every time our club is closed for any reason. Highly recommend.
Very pleased with the value and experience
Challenging course, fast and undulating greens! Some very scorable holes and a couple head busters. Beautiful scenery and some ornery critters (raccoon stole my pistachios when I was teeing off) smh. Bro had moxie!! Super fun round. I desire to return when I’m back in Indy. Very affordable with the hot deal!! It’s a steal.
Operations and Management Are a Joke
Paid for a tee time online through GolfNow. I showed up and checked in only to find my name on a scramble list for a golf league and people standing around everywhere, waiting on a golf cart. There was a golf outing that wasn’t finished and another Wednesday night scramble waiting to start. I asked the staff member in the office about why I was grouped in with the league and he said I could start with them and then break off. Umm, no thanks? I asked how realistic that was going to be for the pace of play and he then directed me to the head pro. Upon speaking to the head pro and asking the same questions, he blamed it on GolfNow for selling tee times. I informed him it was his course and he is in control, then acted like I was the idiot for being concerned about pace of play for purchasing a twilight rate at 5:36pm when the sun goes down at 9:00pm. Being caught in a league and waiting 15 mins on each tee box, if not more, has nothing to do with a twilight rate, but everything to do with the management of course operations. The head pro was rude, dismissive, and could care less as long as they’re making a buck by overbooking their course. We were able to get 8 holes in 3 hours. Insanely slow pace of play.
Didn’t play called and had to cancel
Yes can I get my deposit back I had called them and canceled because didn’t realize I booked for Friday not Saturday
Best value for the cost of any golf course in the area
River Glen never fails to provide a great day on the golf course. The course offers challenge but is fair and is in great condition. The pace of play was outstanding. I highly recommend this course over many others in the area because for the cost of a round here, there just isn't any better value and honestly, this course, regardless of the cost, is superior to others in the north part of Indianapolis. Will definitely be back!
Overpriced Slammed Tee Times
For how much the weekend rate is at River Glen the experience does not reflect that in the slightest. Eight minute tee time blocks and the ranger did not nothing to improve pace of play. Tee time was at 9AM and we did not finish until 2:30. Unacceptable for an $85 round.
Solid course; needs better maintenance
Solid layout, but course needs some better maintenance. Fairways in particular were in fairly poor condition with many bare spots.
Good public course
$44 walking 18 holes on a Sunday afternoon. Full round right at 4 hrs. Good conditions and nice pace of play. Surprisingly excellent weekend round.
Played in August, course in rough shape
This course can be beautiful, but my most recent experience was not great. Greens were torn up and the tee boxes looked like the surface of the moon. The lay out is great and the course challenges you in fun ways, but the maintenance is lacking. Not worth the $60/round.
PACE OF PLAY A PROBLEM
LET ME START BY ADMITTING I LOVE RIVER GLEN. THEY NEED TO ENFORCE PACE OF PLAY, ESP ON WEEKENDS. ITS A PROBLEM - ALMOST 6HR ROUND. I WILL FIND ALTERNATIVE FOR WEEKEND ROUNDS.
A little on the pricey side
Played there on a “Hot Deal” price from golf now. The normal price for a weekday round is, I think, around $70. My question is, for that kind of money couldn’t you please, please, buy and use a green roller? Puts don’t follow the contours of the green very well when they’re bouncing all over the place.
Nice course
Have played this course several times in the past. Staff was friendly and helpful. Course was in good overall shape and grounds crews were out filling divots on the tee grounds. Greens rolled nicely. Fairways were in good shape. I really liked the type of sand that were in the bunkers. It was not your typical gravel pit sand. Nice and consistent sand. Six two dollars for 18 is probably a touch high for this course.
Will definitely return to play this course again.
