About Us

Outdoor seating area of Elks Lodge #649.
Outdoor seating area of Elks Lodge #649.

Off US-27 in Richmond, the Elks Lodge #649 has been doing something most fraternal organizations only talk about: actually saying yes. Couples book wedding receptions here and find the staff willing to work on pricing and let families bring their own food. That kind of flexibility is rare, and the reviews from real guests back it up with a 4.5-star rating across 70 visits.

The property runs deeper than a single banquet room. There is a full-size golf course on site, well-maintained enough that golfers describe the greens as playable and the conditions as genuinely scorable. The Lodge recently opened tee times to non-members during the late fall season, and the golf pro has earned a reputation for being approachable and accommodating to first-time visitors.

Out back, there is even a dedicated RV parking area where travelers can pull off US-27 and rest without hookups. It is a small detail that says a lot about the Lodge's character: this is a place that looks after people, whether they are celebrating a wedding, finishing a round of golf, or just passing through Indiana and needing a safe spot for the night.

What We Offer

Event and Banquet Facilities: The Lodge's event space handles wedding receptions, milestone celebrations, and private gatherings. Staff work directly with clients on pricing, and the kitchen policy allows outside catering, giving families real control over their event budget and menu.

Golf Course: The 18-hole course at Lodge #649 is open to members year-round and to non-members during the late fall season. Fairways are well-kept and the greens play at a consistent, approachable speed, making it a strong choice for casual rounds and competitive outings alike. The on-site golf pro is available for guidance and tee-time coordination.

RV Parking: Travelers on US-27 can park overnight in the Lodge's dedicated lot at no hookup charge. It is a straightforward, no-frills option for road-trippers who want a safe, well-managed stop in Richmond, Indiana.

"My niece had her wedding reception here. My sister said they worked with her on the pricing so she could bring in their own food. When we dropped things off beforehand, the workers were very nice and helpful. The decorations that they already had done were done nicely."

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
