Indiana Golf Journal January 2022

The Maple Creek Golf & Country Club The Maple Creek Golf and Country Club, located on the northeast side of Indianapolis, was Dye’s first 18-hole golf-course design. Originally opened as Heather Hills Golf and Country Club in 1961, this 18-hole layout was created in partnership with his wife, Alice. Today, Maple Creek features small tees and greens, narrow fairways lined with mature trees and natural long grass areas with a creek winding through the front nine. “Maple Creek is a picturesque, traditional and classical setting defined by challenging yet rewarding design features,” said Jim Grossi, Maple Creek’s General Manager and Head Golf Professional Tippecanoe Country Club The Tippecanoe Country Club in Monticello is one of the most treasured attractions in northern Indiana. It opened for play in 1920, as a nine-hole golf course. The most significant change to the golf course took place in 1963 when a young Pete Dye was hired to add an additional nine holes to the existing golf course. He designed the back nine and re-designed portions of the front nine, including all the tees and greens. His work remains as relevant today as it was back in the early 1960s. Indiana is proud of its adopted-son, Pete Dye. He has left a legacy of great golf for all golfers to enjoy. Find out more about the Pete Dye Golf Trail at: https://www.petedyegolftrail.com/.
