Riverside Golf Academy, Indianapolis, IN

I've played a lot of golf courses in and around Indianapolis, and I have to say that this one is in my top 3. Excellent value for your money.

I am new to golf and have started my journey at Riverside Golf Academy. I have been very impressed with the all of the staff so far. Certainly, there are imperfections and this place isn't swimming in money being a municipal facility, but I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better value. It's exactly what I was looking for in search of the best value, not necessarily meaning the cheapest. The driving range is great with heated and covered tees, as well as a nice sized grass tee area. 4 lessons from anywhere between $150 and $200 from some high-quality instructors. I've completed two lessons with Shawn Marshall already and have made vast improvements on each one. The par 3 course is a great course to practice for beginners, and can be fun for any recreational golfer. The course is far from in pristine condition, but you can't beat $5 for a round before noon, and $8 or $9 afternoon on a weekday.
