A diversely experienced consultant in Indianapolis, Indiana, Thomas Stoughton has worked with entities in the fields of technology, education, business development, and more. In his free time, Thomas Stoughton enjoys golfing at courses across Indiana.

Indianapolis has become one of the best locations in the Midwest for golfers of all abilities to try their skills on the green, and several of its courses draw visitors from across the country. Brickyard Crossing is one such course, having achieved a spot on the lists of top American golf courses from both Golfweek and Golf Digest. Acclaimed designer Pete Dye overhauled four of the course’s 18 holes, which are notable for having hosted Champions, LPGA, and PGA Tour competitions over the years. Brickyard offers annual memberships, golfing packages, and individual rounds of golf.

The Fort Golf Resort is home to another one of Indianapolis’ best courses, which is nestled against the beautiful scenery of Fort Harrison State Park. Also designed by Dye, this course features natural greenery and fluctuating, challenging terrain. Golfers can hone their skills by taking lessons from some of the resort’s experienced instructors and PGA players.
