The Pete Dye Course
at French Lick Resort

 

Course Description

Etched into the hilltops behind French Lick Springs Hotel is the 18-hole Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort. This walkable course on one of Indiana’s highest elevation points has narrow fairways, ever changing bunkers and rugged, intense terrain. Forty mile panoramic views of the countryside, three man-made lakes and a variety of elevation changes have been shaped into 5 sets of tees for golfers of all skill levels. A robust 8,100 yards from the professional tees punctuate Dye’s signature sting from vista-to-vista.

The course’s clubhouse stands at 1,000 feet above sea level and is a turn of the last century mansion built by Thomas Taggart, former owner of French Lick Springs Hotel, Mayor of Indianapolis and one-time chairman of the National Democratic Party. Impeccably restored and decorated in painstaking detail, The Mansion is available for lodging and the carriage house now serves as the pro shop.

Lunch at the Pete Dye Mansion
Guests may enjoy lunch during the winter season at the exclusive Pete Dye Mansion. Specific dates to dine will be determined by the Golf Department depending on the weather. Carved into the hills of southern Indiana the course itself is lauded as scenic and one of the best legendary course-designer Pete Dye has created. The clubhouse is the converted and updated mansion that once belonged to Indianapolis Governor, Senator, and former owner of French Lick Springs Hotel, Thomas Taggart. Open from 11am to 3pm daily, to the general public, seating is limited therefore reservations are required and may be made by calling extension 4044 or 7219.
