French Lick (Ross Course)

Brilliantly laid out over rolling Midwest terrain, this century-old Indiana beauty has always been one of Donald Ross’s more unique layouts. In 2006, a loving restoration added a bit more muscle. Twenty-nine fairway bunkers came back to life, forcing players to be far more judicious off the tee. But the greens are the real star here. Mostly untouched since the Scottish master designed them, these are some of the most aggressively contoured surfaces in golf. Donald Ross on steroids? Not exactly. But he must have had an extra shot of something before he dreamt up those rollercoaster greens.
