Golfer's Guide Indiana Golf Courses Stories

Any legitimate conversation about the elite public-access golf courses in the state of Indiana has to include mention of The Fort Golf Course, a Pete Dye track wrapped in a thick cocoon of woodlands where war, not golf, used to be the primary sport.

In the most recent batch of rankings, the nation’s most esteemed golf publications almost unanimously agreed that The Fort deserved to occupy a lofty perch among its peers.

Last fall Golf.com released its firstever ranking of the best golf courses you can play by state, and top billing in Indiana went to, you guessed it, The Fort. In its latest installment of state-by-state public-access rankings, Golfweek positioned The Fort No. 4, just behind the two layouts at the French Lick Resort.

As the only Robert Trent Jones, Jr.-designed golf course in the state of Indiana, Prairie View Golf Club is in elite company when compared to other public golf facilities in the region. In addition to its 18-hole championship golf course set upon 206 acres of rolling prairies and serene wetlands, the property boasts land that is undisturbed by residential development. Prairie View offers a complete and unique experience for everyone from the naturalist to the aspiring professional.

Considered one of the state’s premier daily-fee layouts, Prairie View Golf Course is a 7,073-yard classic design characterized by abundant natural beauty. Golfers are treated to views of towering sycamores and oaks, sounds of clear running streams and billowing native grasses that transform an afternoon on the course into an almost surreal experience.
