Sarah Shank Golf Course

Sarah Shank Golf Course is a municipal facility located on the south side of Indianapolis, serving as one of the city's public golf options. The course operates under the Indianapolis Parks and Recreation Department and provides accessible golf to residents and visitors in the metropolitan area. As a municipal course, it maintains a straightforward design focused on playability for golfers of varying skill levels. The layout features relatively flat terrain characteristic of central Indiana, with mature tree-lined fairways that define playing corridors and require accuracy from the tee.

Sarah Shank serves an important role in Indianapolis's public golf infrastructure, offering affordable rates and accommodating high volumes of play throughout the season. The facility includes a practice area and basic clubhouse amenities typical of municipal operations.
