French Lick – Pete Dye Course hole by hole
Hole 1

yds ·Blue
No notes for this hole yet.
Hole 2
369
yds ·Blue
A relatively short par 4 with a slight right-to-left twist to the hole.
Hole 3
554
yds ·Blue
A par 5 that plays slightly downhill and wraps left. Bunkers pinch the right side of the fairway and a steep hill falls away on the left. The fairway opens near the green, so you can lay up, but cutting the corner brings a steep drop into trees on the left.
Hole 4
191
yds ·Blue
No notes for this hole yet.
Hole 5
345
yds ·Blue
A short, uphill par 4 with a more forgiving driving zone than most holes here. A drive or a 3-wood can leave a wedge in. The green angles from front left to back right with collection bunkers behind it.

yds ·Blue
No notes for this hole yet.
Hole 12
388
yds ·Blue
Hills close in on both sides off the tee, so the landing area looks tighter than it plays. The green has an infinity-edge look, with a steep hillside and a bunker to the left of the putting surface.
Hole 13
162
yds ·Blue
A Redan-style par 3 and the point farthest from the clubhouse. You can play a low shot up the right side and let the contours feed it onto the green, or fly it at the middle.
Hole 14
504
yds ·Blue
A par 5 of nearly 600 yards from the back tees with a split fairway. The hole climbs from the tee toward a green set above a large grass hollow.
Hole 15
344
yds ·Blue
No notes for this hole yet.
Hole 16
183
yds ·Blue
A par 3 with water running from the tee up the right side of the green. Four bunkers line the left, two of them greenside, and the green sits on a raised plateau, so bogey is easy to make.
Hole 17
431
yds ·Blue
No notes for this hole yet.
Hole 18
589
yds ·Blue
A downhill tee shot that turns sharply left, with church pew bunkers down the right side of the driving area. Cutting the corner shortens the hole and can make it reachable in two. The approach climbs uphill to a steep green where a short shot can roll back down.
