Tippecanoe Country Club: this riverside member of the Pete Dye Golf Trail is one of the legendary designer's ealiest layouts. It was back in the early-1960s that Dye was invited to extend an existing nine-hole course into today's 18-hole design.
The opening straightaway par-4 and gently doglegging par-5 get the round off to a cracking start, both holes played directly alongside the Tippecanoe River. The par-3 3rd continues the watery theme, with a testing carry required to find the safety of the water-flanked green. From here the relatively flat and open course plays inland, with unobtrusive housing dotted around parts of the perimeter.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Pete Dye Golf Trail: established in 2011 to showcase the great man's golf courses in Indiana, the Pete Dye Golf Trail comprises: Birck Boilermaker (Kampen-Cosler and Ackerman-Allen courses), Brickyard Crossing, French Lick (Pete Dye course), Maple Creek, The Fort and Tippecanoe CC. The trail previously included Mystic Hills (now closed) and Plum Creek GC.
Referred to by many as the father of modern golf course architecture, Pete Dye made an indelible mark on the game of golf. After carefully studying golf courses in the British Isles, he honed his craft in Indiana, before going on to produce a raft of stunning designs, including TPC Sawgrass, Whistling Straits and Harbor Town. Dye designs, created by Pete, his wife Alice and their family, now span the globe.
