No. 2 on Indiana’s Signature 18 resides at The Pete Dye Course in French Lick, which is nestled among the hills of the Hoosier National Forest in southern Indiana. This championship golf course sits on one of Indiana’s highest elevation points and features narrow, immaculate fairways set on a rugged, intense terrain. The 2nd hole on the Pete Dye Course is a relatively short par 4 with a slight right-toleft twist to its layout. The most significant part of this hole is the series of ‘volcano’ bunkers that dot the right side of the fairway. If your ball lands in one of the ‘volcano’ bunkers, your rescue shot could easily finish in another one if you are too ambitious. No. 3 on Indiana’s Signature 18 is found at Rock Hollow Golf Club in Peru. Built in 1995, Rock Hollow has been ranked by Golf Magazine as one of the top 10 best courses in Indiana. Their mix of old-growth forests, cattail wetlands, beautiful boulders, and changes in elevation produces 300 acres of dramatic scenery. Rock Hollow’s third hole is an exciting risk/ reward par five. After hitting a solid tee shot to the fairway, you will be tempted to go for the green in two, looking for an elusive eagle putt. There is no room for error, however on your approach as water lurks on both sides of the fairway and behind the green. Two bunkers adjacent to the green, front left and back right, add to the degree of difficulty. If you lose your focus and are too aggressive, double bogeys will be more common than birdies.
