FRENCH LICK
O R T
The golf experience at French Lick
Resort has the same energy as a
middle-of-the-night infomercial.
But wait … there's more!
New ways to play. A new place
to stay. And a whole lot of new
believers in this southern Indiana
resort that has grown like wildfire
into one of America's premier golf
destinations. The numbers are telling.
French Lick Resort is coming off a
record-breaking 2025 with more than
50,000 rounds played between their
championship Pete Dye and
Donald Ross Courses and the
9-hole Valley Links Course. That
number has doubled just since 2022.
Long synonymous as being the
hometown of Larry Bird, French Lick
has built a lofty reputation in a different
sport as golfers seek the experience
of conquering a classic, old-school
Ross layout and a spectacularly
aesthetic Pete Dye gem that Dye
himself called "arguably the best
inland site" he ever worked on.
New ways to play.
"The golf courses are unique,
separately," says Dave Harner, French
Lick Resort's Director of Golf. "The Ross is
unique in its way, and the Dye is unique
in its way. The combination of the two
makes for a really great experience."
One guarantee about French Lick is it'll
be a test of every club in your bag.
