The Highland Golf Club of Indianapolis, Indiana was incorporated from November 30, 1903 to 1927 and was located at West 30th and Meyers Rd. (West Riverside Parkway) This location was a part of Riverside Park. Its stated objective was “the promotion of the game of Golf and outdoor sports, and the acquiring, by lease or purchase, and maintenance of the grounds, club house and appurtenances necessary for the carrying out of said purposes.” The original directors were:

William R. Root, the first President of the Club – Insurance & Real Estate Sales. James E. Kepperley – attorney. William Donaldson – accountant for the Central Union Telephone Co.; he was born in Scotland. William F. Carter – contractor. Harold F. Waterman – insurance adjuster. Samuel E.
