Golf Magazine Ranks the Best Golf Courses You Can Play.

In the current issue of Golf Magazine the have published the latest list of the Top 100 golf courses you can play.In addition, they have ranked the best courses you can play by state as well.

The Dye Course at The French Lick Resort

Number 70 on the top 100 and the number 1 ranked golf course you can play in Indiana is Pete Dye Golf Trail member, the Dye Course at the French Lick Resort. You have read about The Dye Course in previous blog posts. So all I have to add is an admittedly biased opinion; it deserves a higher ranking. I am pretty familiar with many of the courses listed and The Dye Course is as good as any of them.

We are fortuate to have a number fo great courses open to the public in Indiana. Of those recognized by Golf Magazine as the best in our state besides the Dye Course at #1, The Fort at #3 and and Brickyard Crossing at #6 are also members of the Pete Dye Golf Trail.


Brickyard Crossing  #13

1. French Lick (Pete Dye), French Lick2. French Lick (Donald Ross), French Lick ( don't miss this gem when you play number 1)
3.
The Fort, Indianapolis4. Purgatory, Noblesville
5.
Prairie View, Carmel
6.
Brickyard Crossing, Indianapolis7. Rock Hollow, Peru
8.
Warren at Notre Dame, South Bend
9.
Belterra, Florence
10. Harrison Hills, Attica


The Fort at Fort Benjamin Harrison

The fun in these rankings is the fact that we can disagree. Take the other four Pete Dye Golf Trail courses. How the Kampen Course at Purdue misses the list is beyond me. Maple Creek and Plum Creek probably miss the list because fo their semi-private status. Mystic Hills in Culver, is as good a golf value as there is anywhere. All of these are easily available to one and all.

Obviously, we are very proud of the members of the Pete Dye Golf Trail and for that matter all of the great golf courses in Indiana.

It is time to think about a golf trip to Indiana, to play as many of these fine facilities as possible. I would love to help you make this trip possible.

  1. Thanks for the post, really appreciate it. Will stop by again! A standard round of golf consists of playing eighteen holes, and most golf courses therefore have this number of holes. Ladies Golf Shoes

  3. Every golf aficionado has probably heard about the Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort. According to basically every American golf publication, it was the best golf course in 2009. Playing there is a splurge to golfers but the design, challenge, and views are just so marvelous that devoted fans find the experience worthy of their time and money.

  4. I wonder how much these rankings change by year and how they determine these standings. My favorite place to play golf has always been in Vegas, and for the trip as well, but hopefully I can visit these others one day as well.
