Woodstock Club

I had the opportunity to attend a special event at the Woodstock Club, a private family-oriented country club with a discreet entrance directly across from the Newfields entrance. Did I know it was there? Nope. While I'd certainly heard of Woodstock, I wasn't certain of its location.Woodstock has been in existence for over 100 years. There's definitely a vintage vibe there with beautiful grounds, a wonderful clubhouse, and a more reserved sense of luxury. Facilities include eight Har-Tru tennis courts, a hard surface pickleball court, three lighted and heated platform tennis (paddles) courts, a paddle hut with outdoor decking and fire pits, three pools, a nine-hole golf course, and quite a bit of greenery. Woodstock plays host to a variety of competitive and recreational leagues and club sports for all ages and hosts APTA premiere national and regional platform tennis tournaments. While I certainly did not tour the entire grounds, the lengthy driveway gave me an opportunity to check out quite a bit. First off, in terms of accessibility at the clubhouse I'll note that if you drive under their brick canopy toward the back of the clubhouse they have several accessible parking spots. There's an accessible entrance directly under that canopy (the other entrance is not accessible). They also have an elevator available from that accessible entrance (NOTE: In this case, accessible means a level entrance, no stairs, and a push-button power doorway). In 2020, Woodstock renovated their dining rooms. The Woodstock Room offers indoor and outdoor dining and a children's activity room. They have the River Room - it overlooks the pool area, has a bar, and an adjacent outdoor terrace. The Club Room is more intimate and has a fireplace. The Woodstock Woodstock also has a grand ballroom that can host larger events and weddings and two smaller private rooms. My event was in an area that was called "the living room," though it may have a more formal name. I didn't really wander around much, however, I was mostly able to access everything I needed (some of the food dishes were a bit high). This event served "heavy hors d'oeuvres" including shrimp, crab cakes, salmon, a couple light dessert options, a veggie tray, and a few other things. It would have been nice to have had items labeled - I mean, let's be honest, if you know me then you know I'm a bit more trailer park than country club. However, everything I tasted was awesome. There was also a bar and soft drinks were available. Employees were friendly in a more reserved, professional way. They were effective, efficient, and discreet throughout the evening. I found the area quite comfortable and enjoyed looking around it. Membership here is by referral only and they have preview and regular membership opportunities. Fees are based on age and marital status. They do also have a non-resident option. I'm always impressed when a club makes an effort toward accessibility. While Woodstock isn't perfect in terms of accessibility, it's better than I expected and I was quite pleased. Overall, I would definitely return for future events and enjoyed the opportunity to check out this long-standing part of Indianapolis history.

Stately setting tucked off of 38st. The clubhouse is charming. The decor is comfortable with antiques and touches of Indianapolis memorabilia. I've attended two events and both were excellently staffed, delicious appetizers, and bar was maintained well throughout the evening. Loved the parking and covered drop off. Was nice for rainy evenings when you don't want to mess up your do. There was a 'sewer' type smell in basement entry but that occurs around Indy in older buildings. Wasn't noticeable in the upstairs venue or on other visits.

Five stars - Har True tennis courts. Excellent golf. A true country club.

The food was quite good, and it is a pleasant place for events. Had scallops for dinner with a risotto of sorts. The chocolate mousse dessert was nice also. They had a number of other fun things on the menu I wouldn't mind trying--lobster tacos? Yes, please. Service is great, but it should be, since it's a private club. If you're invited to an event there, go. It's a lovely historic old place.

Very nice event location. Charming, classy, yet approachable decor and ambiance.Recently there/here for a black tie event....post performance of the Indianapolis Dramatic Club.Filet mignon....asparagus...potatoes dauphne.....all excellent...beautifully plated and at the correct temps.Terrific swing band !

Woodstock is a great club. They have an extraordinary staff, beautiful grounds, and friendly members. The club is small, but has lots of things to do with family and friends. They have excellent food and a really nice dining room. The clubhouse is wonderful, historic, and makes you feel as you've stepped back in time. For some reason, it reminds me of the Grand Hotel in Mackinac Island, MI. Even if you are not a member of the club, you can still rent the clubhouse for private parties (i.e. wedding receptions). My best friend had his rehearsal dinner here--it was truly terrific.

Tucked away off of 38th Street near the IMA near the exclusive neighborhood of Golden Hills, Woodstock Country Club has been around for almost a century. With a golf course, tennis courts and pool, it's perfect for parents seeking a peaceful atmosphere where they can also bring their kids.The main dining room is formal but comfortable and inviting. Servers get to know members and more often than not serve your regular drink seconds after you've been seated. With a diverse menu, the head chef is accommodating, always willing to adapt to any special requests you might have for your meal.To be continued...
