A "User Friendly" course

This course is about as centrally located as we have in Indy and even though it is in the city, it is a pretty quiet course. It is flat and the only resistance offered are the big old trees that line the fairways. Traps and water are rare here so you can play pretty quickly. On the day I was here the course had not been mowed (for a couple days?) and was kind of shaggy. The rough was so tall that balls were difficult to find even at the edge of the fairway......still a great little course for a relaxed game.

Tall grasses

Rough and greens were un-mowed and abnormally high (even for a Monday)- both are usually in much better shape, especially the greens.

Keep it straight!

South Grove provides good opportunities to shoot a good score, if you can keep it in the fairway. There are a few doglegs that will bite you if you get too greedy. It's a great course overall.

A Bargain

The yardage isn't long, but the tree-lined fairways require straight drives. The greens were in excellent shape as was the practice green. Even without the Golfnow.com deal, this course is a bargain.

Poor maintenance

Do not golf in the fall, all the leaves have been off the trees for at least a week, all they was blow the leaves off the fairway at best, especially the front nine. So if you hit into the rough forget about it, I lost at least a dozen balls in the leaves, or I could have spent hours looking for my balls. Unreal!! The golf carts have no windows on them.

one of the better city courses, few hazards other than trees,

Two friends and I rode 18 on a Sunday. Great weather that day, the course was steady but not too busy. Really good city course, and the greens were in surprisingly good shape for an inner city course. Oldest city course in Indy. Fairways are pretty open, and there few hazards other than the trees. Fairways could have been a little bit shorter. Course in pretty flat overall. Good value!

The greens were in great shape!!!

For fall conditions the overall course was in great shape. The fairways and rough were a little longer than summer, but I am sure that has to do with the time of year. Definitely will play again this fall.

I liked the course. It is well maintained and was not busy. No water hazards and open fairways are good. The cart was fast and easy to run.

This is a nice course in the inner city

I went with a friend from work on a Saturday at noon for $21 and had a great time. I was very surprised that it wasn't busier since it was a beautiful day but thoroughly enjoyed my outing. We were able to play 18 in just over 3 hours, AWESOME. I had trouble booking the tee time on line, site kept going in a hazard lol but called golf now and super friendly staff member booked it with no problem. Two thumbs up for golf now, you guys are GREAT!

Great older muni with pristine greens.

Fun experience. How often do you get a chance to play a course that's over a 100 years old? Greens were quick and pristine. Most of the greens are on the smaller side, but typical of an older city course. Trees make a few of the fairways challenging to hit, but overall very forgiving. Staff very accommodating., Play was very light on a Monday mid-afternoon.

Great course for the money

It was a fairly easy course. It was nicely maintained. Lots of trees up'd the difficulty a little bit and very little water. It was close to the city but felt like out in the country. I got a great deal with the BOGO at $25 for 2 people. I would recommend it even at $25 pp.

You'd better be a straight hitter!

The toughness of this course comes from the tight tree-lined fairways and 3" rough. Your ball disappears in the rough and makes it challenging to advance. Great course, good value. The menu choices could be better at the Pro Shop.

A wonderful municipal course, with one of the friendliest & most accommodating staffs around!

One of the best municipal courses to play in Indianapolis. This course has some tight tre- lined fairways, and the holes that are more open require some length off of the tee. Great place to learn to play and yet enough of a challenge for someone approaching scratch golf. In the summer, the Blue grass rough will challenge the toughest of PGA Champions!
