South Grove is one of the better city courses in Indianapolis. The course is in decent shape, fairways and tee boxes are subpar on certain holes but not terrible. Greens are fairly well maintained, but the bunkers that are remaining are basically dirt. In turns of amenities, selection is rather limited. Not much to chose from in terms of food and they do not offer liquor, only beer. I’d advise getting a cooler for beer as the singles are not very cold. Overall pretty good course for the price. Not terribly busy if you play early morning, even on Sundays. Not a terribly challenging course as there are virtually no bunkers or water on the course.

Listen, the course layout is fine but the conditions are horrible. You cant distinguish where the fairway starts and the rough begins. Courses like these are great for golfers that are new to the game but I can honestly say this is the worst course I’ve ever played. Management was fine, greens weren’t bad, and pace of play was decent. The course looks like it hasn’t been mowed in years. My first time playing the course and will never be back. I hope they either put money into the course or just let it close. My highlight of the day was seeing a homeless person shit across the street from hole 3!

Nice public course, wish the city of Indianapolis would commit to upkeeping it better. Hole 12 is supposed to have a pond, however it is dry and full of weeds. The trees and course layout are very nice! Enjoyable course, just wish the funds would go into getting it back on the level it used to be.
