At the end of the day, gather the crew together and enjoy a trip on the iconic trolley, maybe some fast-paced bowling at Pluto’s Alley or an adventure at one of the hiking, biking or horse trails across the resort. Do not forget to bring your four-legged companions. French Lick Resort is one of the most pet-friendly hotels in the midwest, with designated pet-friendly rooms at each hotel.

The Pete Dye Course

Par: 72
Length: 8,102
Rating: 80
Slope: 148

After contemplating several well-known designers, the resort owners decided on Pete Dye, arguably the world’s top golf architect, to design the property’s marque course. Dye walked Mt. Airie – the proposed building site – and concluded there was no way to build a golf course on the land because the slopes were too severe and the terrain too rugged.

Dye, not being one to give up easily, soon returned to the resort with a topographical map of the area and preliminary drawings on a napkin. He said he intended to “build the course whether they want me to or not.” The course officially opened in the spring of 2009 and held its first major PGA event by the summer of 2010.

Senior PGA champion Colin Montgomerie called the Pete Dye Course “one of the iconic courses” in America and one that golfers all over the world will want to play.

This championship golf course, located on one of Indiana’s highest elevation points, has narrow, immaculate fairways and rugged, intense terrain. It has gained national acclaim for its 40-mile panoramic views of the southern Indiana countryside, three man-made lakes, “volcano” bunkers and a variety of elevation changes. A robust 8,102 yards from the professional tees punctuate Dye’s signature sting from vista to vista.
