Truly is a intercity gem
Only knock on the course is no bunkers. Other than that layout was very nice. Fairways and greens were in great shape. I grew up across the street from course and I haven’t seen it in the good of condition in 20 yrs. The group I was with golfs all around ( usually outside of 465) and belong to clubs. Even they same this should be a 50-$60 course. Would’ve given a 5 on pace but for the 1st 9 holes we had a group of 3 that spent 5min minimum (all 3) looking for balls. Which became frustrating, after that everything was great. Will be back very soon
Looks like days may be numbered
Historic course from 1902 shows signs that the end may be near. Layout and greens are good but the old mature trees are overgrown and Course is rough around the edges. One of the very few bunkers left, on hole 7, is really mud but it does have a rake! Would like to see this course get the attention Pleasant Run gets, as it could again be a real asset for downtown, and it was busy.
Pretty and warm day for Golf!
It was a great way for me to spend time with my husband, playing golf at South Grove! Steady pace of play for the most part. Course was pretty baked and fast. Great value!
Nice Course
This was a nice course. It played quickly. No pressure or hounding from other groups or employees. I was in town for the weekend. The next time that I'm in Indy I will definitely return!
Good Bargain
Pretty straightforward back and forth course, trees are the main obstacle, a couple holes have very narrow landing areas. Most holes are straightaway, with only a couple doglegs. No sand traps that I remember, so greens are accessible. White tees made several of the par 4’s pretty long, gold tees would be better for me. Greens were generous size, green speed was on the slow side. Very walkable: greens and tees are close together, not much elevation change. Greens and fairways were in pretty good shape, rough had a lot of clover. Senior weekday rates very reasonable for the quality of the course, and for a walker it is a bargain. I walked 18 holes in 3:10 even though I had to wait on every shot, so the weekday pace of play was pretty good. Not the most beautiful or challenging course, but I enjoyed it.
Great 18 holes of golf
Course was in good condition, especially the greens. We played 18 holes of enjoyable golf with very little wait time in 3 1/2 hours.
Pretty straight course in pretty good shape, not going to overly punish you. That being said the desk worker was very rude and inpatient and don’t feel like explaining where the carts were, and some of the grounds crew would go out of their way to make noise or cut in front of me on holes when they hadn’t even been within 3 holes of me previously, and this happened multiple times. Can’t say I’ll be back anytime soon
Fun Indy Muni
Hope they don’t close this course as rumors have been swirling. Fun layout, good conditions, old school greens with charm.
Great Greenskeeper Poor Starter
Be prepared for a 5+hr round. On a Sunday afternoon, they wouldn't respect tee times. Walk-ons are available to play without a tee time. (First Come First Serve System)
Great little city course
For a city course with a very reasonable rate, I was pleased with the course. Not very challenging, pretty straight and narrow with tons of trees lining the fairways. There were a couple of rough patches throughout but it's the end of season so it's to be expected. Overall, I liked the course and would play again.
South Grove
In operation since 1902, hence the old growth trees are many. But landscaping and arbor needs are great.
