Back Home In Indiana on The Pete Dye Golf Trail The late, great hall-of-fame golf course architect Pete Dye was one of the finest golf course architects of his generation. Dye’s ‘footprint’ on golf is prolific. It’s on display around the world, especially in Indiana. To honor Dye’s ties to Indiana, The Pete Dye Golf Trail is comprised of seven of Dye’s creations: The Pete Dye Course at French Lick, Brickyard Crossing Golf Club, The Fort Golf Course, Maple Creek Golf & Country Club, Tippecanoe Country Club, plus the Ackerman-Allen and Kampen golf courses at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex. The Pete Dye Course at French Lick The Pete Dye Course at French Lick opened in 2009. It includes three man-made lakes and was built atop a high ridge. The elevation changes and views alone make this a must play. Powerful adjectives like, dramatic, exciting and spectacular have been used to describe The Pete Dye Course experience. From the clubhouse high atop Mt. Airie, Indiana’s second highest elevation point, you get a 360-degree view of southern Indiana and the surrounding Hoosier National Forest. It is possible to take in the vistas for 30-40 miles in every direction. “As I built the golf course, I tried to get the tees, the fairways, and the greens in position that they have these long views over the valleys and hills,” stated Dye.
