Course Overview
When French Lick Springs and West Baden Springs merged to form the new French Lick Resort in 2005, the decision-makers set out to revamp the property, including the addition of an 18-hole course atop nearby Mt. Aerie. Pete Dye moved a whopping 2.5 million cubic yards to dirt to mellow the drastic elevation changes on the property (that’s 1.5 million more earth that Dye’s moved when building Whistling Straits.The result was a course that looks as punishing as it plays. Maxing out at north of 8,000 yards, the design features long, narrow fairways atop ridgelines and steep drop-offs, with a bunker style that looks otherworldly.
