The Donald Ross Golf Course is definitely
a test of your skills no matter what level
of golfer you are, and I've learned
over the years to club up on my shots
due to the elevated greens on many of
the holes. I also love the Donald Ross
Clubhouse after our round to sit outside
in a rocking chair with a cold brew and
watch the players on many of the holes
that offer a beautiful panoramic view
of the golf course in the backdrop.
"Golf is not a fair game, so why build a
fair golf course?"—Pete Dye. Yes, it is true.
However, the Pete Dye Golf Course is my
favorite course at French Lick to play, and
I tend to play it better than I do the Donald
Ross Golf Course. It could be because we
always get a fantastic caddie to help us
with our golf shots, our putting lines, along
with great course knowledge. We have
spent 4-1/2 hours with some of the best
caddies French Lick Resort has to offer.
And this round was no different.
Tim Walls, a French Lick, Indiana local,
and a long-time caddie favorite among
golfers, was assigned to us for our round.
He was a wealth of knowledge and had
several great "caddie" stories to share
with us as we played our round. He even
invited us to watch Spring Valley High
School's Friday night football game against
their main rival where his stepson was a
local star on the team. What fun that was!
The caddies at the Pete Dye Course make
your round so much more enjoyable as
they help find your ball if you hit it in the
thick rough or fescue, or if you find one of
the many steep bunkers, they will rake the
sand for you. They help line up your putts
especially with greens that have quite a bit
of undulation to them ... which makes for
many three putts if you are not careful.
