Holiday Golf?

I hope everyone finds the time to play some golf over the holiday weekend. The following pictures are posted to motivate you. Lets start with The Dye Course at French Lick.

Or maybe a round at The Fort at Fort Benjamin Harrison...

Plum Creek is a great choice

as is Maple Creek!

The famous Brickyard Crossing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

We think the Kampen Course at Purdue University does not get the recognition it deserves.

and last but a long ways from least, Mystic Hills in Culver.

Play one or play them all. Contact the Pete Dye Center Call Center at 574-933-1610 for information.

While not a member of the Pete Dye Golf Trail, Crooked Stick is one of the most famous of Mr. Dye's Designs and easily the most famous in Indiana. Opened in 1964, it has been the site of many of golf's greatest championships. Take a look at the following photographs and you easily see why. Here is the start.

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.
