For years, guests have experienced the two championship golf courses at French Lick Resort. The Ross Course was designed by a one of the leading golf architects of all time. It flows naturally with the rolling landscape and uses the existing terrain to provide a memorable golfing experience.

The Ross Course opened for play in 1917 and celebrated its centennial anniversary last year. Hall of Famer Walter Hagen won the 1924 PGA Championship in French Lick.

Today, the Ross Course showcases the Symetra Tour’s aspiring young female professionals in the Donald Ross Classic, held July 10-14th. The Symetra Tour is loaded with talented young women looking to make it to the LPGA Tour.

The second course at French Lick was created by Indiana Native Pete Dye and was built atop the second highest peak in southern Indiana. It is a true Dye design, visually intimidating, but a joy to play for any level of golfer.

The Senior LPGA Championship, the first major championship for the Legends Tour, was held last year on the Pete Dye course and the second edition will also be held on the Dye Course this season, Oct 10-17th.
