Riverside Golf Academy

I don't have much to compare this to because I've really never been to another range. But my experiences here have always been great. I've never played the 9 holes. Staff was very friendly. They've got both covered and uncovered bays, as well as some that you can tee just off the grass. Prices are very reasonable too it seems. They offer lessons as well as other services such as regripping and seem to have a good selection of merchandise. They also have some snacks and bottled drinks for sellI will def be back for more visits

Good place to practice and reasonably priced for buckets of balls. A lot of driving ranges have gone up a lot but Riverside is still the best bargain. A decent pitch and putt 9- hole course good to practice the short game and get some exercise. They also just added two simulators. So why the three stars. Well it's kind of old. Some of the greens are not in good shape. The practice pitching area needs some help. I would recommend but it's nothing to be real impressed with like it was when it first opened. I grew up around Riverside and remembered when ALL of the golf courses there were some of the best in Indy. I hope the simulators bring must needed revenue to the area.

If you are looking for a nice location to practice without all of the snobbery, try here. Prices are great on the budget through military tee times if you are in the military. After practicing at Riverside for a year I still like practicing here. Everyone is encouraging and remind you to practice at home too which is a nice reminder that it does take practice to get better and better. They also have a variety of golf gear for sale and they have discounted pricing on used items which is great if you are starting to play or need some extra gear. Check out the clearance shoe table.Ali is a great teacher so definitely check her out for lessons!

$8 for 75 balls to pelt at to ease my stress/anger? I'm down. It was quiet (minus the I-65 traffic whizzing behind me) and peaceful and a nice looking practice facility despite being bordered by I-65 and almost downtown. I was disappointed I couldn't hit the target despite being SO close! This place serves me well as the closest golf course to downtown itself, and I can't wait to return back to play the short course in the near future, or ::gasp:: play the "big kid" course across the road.

It's a bit worn and not a country club, but if you want to get away and hit some balls (hehe) this is the place to go. It's affordable for a large bucket of balls. Service is friendly and they have a variety of merchandise available to shop around. It's calm and quiet and really feel like you have the place to yourself. Golfing range: 4/5 - no frills, but for this activity we were okay with it, and great priceService: 4/5

Even during the rain storms you can get out and hit some balls. 15+ heated bays for cold weather practice! Inside and outside putting green. Outside chipping area. Lessons and club repair available as well as a full pro shop and good snacks and drinks. Par 3 course attached to the property as well!

Great way to start. Had my first lesson with Ali, and she walked me through the fundamentals. She was very encouraging and made it feel like "a day with the girls" instead of instruction. I am actually looking forward to coming back next week!

Nothing fancy, but everything you need to improve your game.The fees are very reasonable.Friendly staff.

This is my favorite place to practice my golf game. Good to brand new range balls, fair prices for the range and beautiful practice chipping and putting areas. The par 3 course is tight and forces you to hit your shots straight. Nice layout and the greens on the par 3 are very nice. Can't complain about the price to play the par 3 either, only $10!The parking lot is newly paved and you don't have to dodge potholes anymore! Riverside is a real GEM.

What once use to be a very good place to hit some balls at the range, go on a nice par 3 course or get some lessons has gone down the drain. Walked in with just my driver to hit balls and practice. Bought a medium size bucket(90 balls) for $9 and walked out to hit. Only to find all the bays not having the rubber tees to hit drives off of and walked back in to then be told I had to buy tees. 90 tees, I'll pass. Wasted $9 and hope that goes to help them get better again.
