About South Grove Golf Course

South Grove Golf Course is a historic 18-hole municipal course approximately two miles from downtown Indianapolis. Built in 1902, it was designed by local architect Harry Schopp, who also designed Pleasant Run and Sarah Shank Golf Course. The current published longest scorecard measures 6,265 yards and plays to par 70.

Although the property is comparatively flat, the routing uses gently rolling ground and elevated plateaus for tees and greens, while mature trees create relatively tight playing corridors. The name South Grove derives from the grove of trees along the southern side of the property. The course has a long association with Indianapolis amateur golf and hosts the South Grove Spring Four-Ball, an event dating to 1948.

The course is an 18-hole golf course. It plays to par 70, 6,265 yards. Designed by Harry Schopp, the course originally opened in 1902. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Clubhouse.
