Driving Ranges

The Pfau Course at Indiana University features two distinct driving ranges in an effort to cater to golfers of all skill levels. The Recreational Driving Range features individual bays and buckets of balls for sale on a first-come, first-served basis. It is located behind the IU Health Hospital off the 45-46 bypass. The Pfau Course Driving Range, meanwhile, is located behind the George Thomas Clubhouse. Its use is reserved for those who have annual Pfau Course memberships, or for those who have paid daily greens fees for that individual day. It does not offer individual buckets of balls for sale.

RECREATIONAL DRIVING RANGE

 The Pfau Course at Indiana University’s recreational driving range offers a 25-station driving range for the enjoyment of golfers of all ages and skill levels. The space features both grass and golf mat hitting areas.

Visitors can utilize a new, state-of-the-art, automatic driving range golf ball machine upon their arrival. Individual buckets contain 75 balls and cost $12. You can also purchase a 10-bucket pass for $110, or a 20-bucket pass for $200. 

Visitors have three ways to purchase range balls:

  • With a credit card at the ball machine;
  • Download the SELECTpi App to your phone and make your purchases through the app. By utilizing the app, you can select/purchase your bucket option on your phone and then scan a QR code to have the balls dispensed;
  • Visit the Pfau Course Pro Shop and purchase a 10 or 20-bucket gift card. You will be able to swipe the gift card at the ball machine to have the range balls dispensed.
