Golf in Indiana: Complete Guide
Indiana is the home state of Pete Dye, America's most influential modern golf architect. His legacy courses — Crooked Stick (PGA Championship host) and the Pete Dye Course at French Lick — anchor a state with more depth than its low profile suggests.
Overview
Indiana golf benefits from Pete Dye's deep roots in the state. Crooked Stick in Carmel has hosted multiple major championships, French Lick Resort offers two world-class courses in southern Indiana, and the Indianapolis area has several quality public and private options.
