Hoosier Gym – In 1985
Knightstown's old high school
gym became the home to
Hoosiers' Hickory High's
championship season. Today the
Hoosier Gym is fully restored as
a community center, with tours
available by calling
800-668-1895. You can shoot a
basket from the spot where Jimmy
made the game winner as time
expired, walk through the locker
room where coach Norman Dale
retreated after being tossed
from the game, or sit in the
stands and relive the magic
of what Sports Illustrated called one of
the five greatest sports movies of all
time. |

Break from the ordinary
by playing eighteen
challenging holes of
golf at
Royal Hylands Golf Club,
a course reminiscent of
the Scottish links
courses. The Royal
Hylands Golf Club,
located between
Knightstown and
interstate 70 off of
state road 109, offers
challenges to all
golfers, both old and
new. From its bent grass
fairways to the deep
heather that surrounds
the final eight holes,
this is no ordinary
public golf course. Host
of the public links
championship, 1993,
1995, |
|
|
|
|
and 1999, Royal Hylands Golf
Club demands mastery of the
short game to overcome tough
approach shots. Golfers
throughout Indiana and western
Ohio have discovered Royal
Hylands is a great course you'll
enjoy playing again and again. |
