Created from actual data — every tee, fairway, bunker, and green, all in vivid detail.
Long before Pete Dye ever set foot on it, Mount Airie was just the highest ground in French Lick — a wooded ridge overlooking the valley where the historic French Lick Springs Hotel had been drawing golfers since Donald Ross laid out his course there in 1917. When resort owners went looking for a second course to match the property's grand history, they sent Dye up the mountain. His first reaction was that the site was too severe — the slopes too steep, the terrain too wild to build a golf course on at all.
He built it anyway. Crews moved roughly 2.5 million cubic yards of earth across 300 acres of hilltop to carve fairways and greens into ridgelines that fall away on both sides, holes that play across ravines and along cliff edges with the Hoosier National Forest spreading out below. When the Pete Dye Course opened in June 2009, it did what only a handful of American courses can claim: it looked like nowhere else in golf, because nowhere else in golf had a mountaintop quite like this one.
The view is the course's calling card — on a clear day, the fairways offer sightlines stretching some 40 miles across southern Indiana, a vantage no flatland design could ever produce. Golf Digest and the game's architecture critics took immediate notice, naming it Best New Course in America the year it opened, and it quickly became the modern anchor of a resort already rich with championship pedigree: the Donald Ross Course down in the valley had hosted the 1924 PGA Championship, where Walter Hagen beat Jim Barnes in the final to launch a run of four consecutive PGA titles, a record that still stands.
In 2017, the Pete Dye Course added its own chapter to that history, hosting the inaugural Senior LPGA Championship — the first major championship created for the LPGA's senior stars. French Lick kept the event on Mount Airie for years afterward, pairing a design built for spectacle with a championship pedigree a century in the making. Two courses, one hilltop story: French Lick has never stopped chasing golf that looks like nothing else.
