Indian Springs Golf Club
The 46-acre Indian Springs Golf Course extended east of High Street to Indianola, north of East Cooke Rd and south of Schreyer. It opened as a 18-hole course in 1931 and closed circa 1947 as a 9-hole course. The Indian Springs Village subdivision was built in this location around 1947.

Does anyone know if a map of the Indian Springs golf course exists?
Thanks!

Do you know the approximate location of the golf club house. Since moving into the area I’ve heard several locations claimed. Someone told me that the club house was located where my property now stands.
Thanks.

I’m sure the dare of closing is wrong. I moved to Columbus in June, 1952, as a teenager and I remember playing Indian Springs as a 9 hole course in the summer of 1953. I don’t recall a clubhouse

I lived on the middle section of Fairlawn Drive (486) in the Indian Springs area between 1961 and 1992. An open lot across the street and one door east of our house remained vacant until perhaps the late 1960’s and featured a mounded area with sand around the base that resisted grass from growing for years. At the time, it served as a great location to defend when us neighborhood boys played “war”. Later, it became legend as sand bunker and perhaps a green side bunker, as the elevated ground in the middle of the lot was very flat and level. Although my father never played the Indian Springs course, the realtor we purchased from claimed our house was built near to one of the holes, but I cannot recall which hole.

My parents built a home at 421 Fairlawn Drive in 1961. When the basement was dug, we found the green with a cup, the grass was a moldy green and smelled badly. I would love to see a layout of the course. We sledded on a large downslope behind the houses on east side Ingram at Fairlawn Dr., which looked like a fairway.

I think that the closing date was later than 1947. I remember playing in the area as a child and it would have been later as I would not have been allowed there as a 5-year-old. The Clubhouse was East of what is now Ingham and South of Dominion, about a block or 2 southeast of what is now Dominion Middle School. The Clubhouse was there in the later 1940s and/or early 1950s as I recall. We used to play with the ballwashers.
