Golf Magazine calls Indianapolis a destination "where great golf value takes the checkered flag," ranking it number three on U.S. cities with affordable public golf.

Fall is here. Pool days are gone. But golf is still in the green.


Enjoy the pre-snow days by playing golf in Indianapolis on some of the Midwest's most beautiful courses, for cheap!

This article intrigued me because I was raised around golf. As a kid, I spent weekend afternoons watching tournaments on TV with my dad. Evenings when I wanted to watch Nickelodeon, I had to wait for him to finish his golf instructional videos. 

When I was 12, he enrolled my sister and I in our very first golf lessons at a local course. (They didn't last long though, because as soon as my friend's ball hit and shattered a car windshield in the parking lot, we all quit.)

I did not return to golf until Nintendo Wii came into my life. Wii golf boosted my confidence enough for me to take a few more swings at the game this past summer.

Anyway, my dad didn't realize that when he sent his daughter to school in Indianapolis, he was setting himself up for some great weekend golf trips. (Or wait...maybe he did!)

On his next trip here, when thinking of things to do in Indianapolis, I might just have to fill him in on places like Brickyard Crossing Golf Course or Prairie View Golf Club...But then again, if I did that, I would be lucky if he ever even made his way to campus to see me!
