The greens are set to become even greener at Fort Benjamin Harrison, as Indiana Golf has officially driven its plans forward to construct a new state-of-the-art facility next to The Fort Golf Resort. Ground was broken and earth movers have already begun to heavily roll across the landscape since June 5.

This bold initiative, which has transitioned to the physical build phase, aims to transform the organization's presence and capabilities by moving from its long-time Franklin base to the novel, strategically chosen location in the City of Lawrence. It's a significant upgrade, to say the least, as the new complex is set to feature an Interactive Hall of Fame, administrative offices, and customized areas for their numerous programs. The initiative was strategically designed to better connect Indiana Golf with the region's dynamic community.

The City of Lawrence provided an update on the construction progress in a recent news release, showcasing the community's palpable enthusiasm for the project. The upcoming installation promises to integrate Indiana's golf heritage and future into the heart of the city. The statement from the city read: "We’re happy to share that construction is officially underway for Indiana Golf’s new state-of-the-art facility at Fort Benjamin Harrison next to The Fort Golf Resort!."

The new establishment is expected to serve as a central hub while also boosting local tourism and sports enthusiasm. The highly anticipated Interactive Hall of Fame aims to attract both visitors and locals by offering an engaging exploration of the sport’s rich history in the state.

Enthusiasts and community members are closely monitoring the progress of the development. While the completion date for the facility has not yet been determined, updates on the construction can be found on the city's official website.
