The best things to do in Porter County

“Quaint, well-maintained course featuring a bar.”

“Forest Park Golf Course is classic parkland up front and a challenging back nine with elevation changes and small greens across 18 holes that keep you honest. Sneak in a round this week or hop into a league with neighbors for friendly competition and a perfect excuse to be outside.”

“Creekside Golf Course & Training Center makes practice actually fun with a lighted, heated 48-station range, two indoor TrackMan simulators, and a 3-hole Meadows loop plus a 9-hole Glen course. Grab a quick loop, join a league, or book a lesson with top LPGA pro Nancy Bender and feel dialed in by the weekend.”
