River Glen Country Club

What River Glen Country Club does

River Glen Country Club Inc. operates a single 18-hole public golf course at 12010 Clubhouse Drive in Fishers, Indiana, approximately 20 minutes from Indianapolis. The course was designed by Gary Kern in 1990 and is laid out along the White River corridor, incorporating mature trees, water hazards, and natural topography to create a layout that feels older than its actual age. The facility is open for both daily-fee public play and tiered memberships (Gold, Silver, Bronze, Junior, Family Fun Package, and Range), with green fees ranging from $32 to $66 and annual memberships priced from $600 to $4,745 depending on privileges and cart inclusion.

The business operates five revenue streams on the same site: (1) green fees and cart rentals for public play, (2) annual golf memberships across multiple tiers, (3) PGA Professional and assistant golf lessons sold individually or in packages ($60-$300), (4) a seasonal swimming pool with memberships, swim team, lessons, and themed events from late May through Labor Day, and (5) weddings and banquets rented through a separate events website (riverglenevents.com). Structured league play (Hump Day, Men's Monday Morning, Ladies' Thursday Morning) provides recurring community-based revenue. Online tee-time booking and gift card sales run through the third-party ClubCaddie platform.

River Glen is an independently owned private corporation with 16 employees, no external investment, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the website, social media (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter), email, and on-site league/community activity. The customer base is composed of individual golfers, families, league players, lesson takers, pool members, and event hosts — all within the Indianapolis metropolitan area.

Others

Regional players

Broad incumbents
