About French Lick Resort - The Pete Dye Course

The Pete Dye Course sits on one of the Midwest's most dramatic high points, with views across about 40 miles of Indiana countryside. It's a par 72 that stretches to 8,102 yards, and Dye called it his favorite inland design. There's a statue of him at the clubhouse with his line about it: golf is not a fair game, so why build a fair golf course? Five sets of tees let you pick a sane length.

It's the big course at French Lick Resort, which also has the Donald Ross Course and the nine-hole Valley Links. Golf Magazine named it the Best New Course of the Year in 2009, the same year Golf Digest named it America's Best New Public Course. In 2025 Golf Digest ranked it No. 18 on America's 100 Greatest Public Courses, and it has been the No. 1 course in Indiana on Golfweek's Best You Can Play list every year from 2010 through 2026.

The pros have tested it too. It hosted the 2015 Senior PGA, and the Korn Ferry Tour ended its season here in 2024 and 2025. When Golf Channel wrote about it in 2013, forecaddies were required.

It's one of 3 courses in French Lick on Yoink, and French Lick Resort - Monon Ridge is practically next door — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
