Wolf Run Golf Course
Wolf Run Golf Club was conceived in the early 1980's by the late Dr. Jack Leer, a local dentist and successful amateur golfer whose dream was to build a demanding, world-class golf club for serious golfers. The practice home for the IUPUI men's and women's golf teams, Wolf Run is annually ranked among Golf Week's and Golf Digest's Best Modern Courses.
The classic tree-lined course includes plenty of elevation changes and is considered one of Indianapolis' premiere courses. The narrow fairways and small, fast greens make Wolf Run a challenge from the first to the 18th tee. Water hazards and sand traps mark much of the course, while the entire course is extremely well manicured.
With no houses nearby, the course layout is also among the most scenic in the Indianapolis-area.
With a full service clubhouse and small dormitory style housing on site, Wolf Run is ideal for collegiate golf action.
