French Lick Resort

Excellent early season course conditions. Fun track!

Course, as usual, in great shape. Only complaint is they charged $39 for a 6 pack! I have played course all over the midwest, and this is MORE THAN DOUBLE any other course. Ridiculous. Will never buy a beverage there again.

Course was in pristine condition, but I waited on every tee box for at least 10-15 minutes with the group ahead of us. They clearly way over booked the course. Food was mediocre at best. Will I go back? Of course it’s still my favorite.

The course was in wonderful condition. Fairways and greens were excellent. Our starter was extremely helpful. What a great experience we had.

Sultan’s Run is a naturally beautiful golf course which has continue to improve with age. This course features 18 holes, each of which provides its own unique vista to provide the golfer with a beautiful, straight-forward, and fair golf experience. That doesn’t mean that this course is easy because a golfer can find trouble on any hole. However, there is a way to play every hole and avoid trouble if you hit the ball in the proper position on each hole. The fairways are generous, and the greens are large. However, each hole requires at least two quality golf shots in order to score well on the entire round. The course is generally well cared for although it does not drain particularly well after any significant rainfall. You may have to stay on the cart paths more than you might care to, but they work hard to protect the beauty and playability of this course. This course should rate high on any serious golfers list of favorite courses to play.

I’ve played Sultans 25 times or more through the years. The last 4-5 years it has been in supreme condition. This time not so much. The greens surfaces were spongy and speed about an 8 and not smooth. Lots of sod around the green aprons to correct some turf killed this spring. Great layout and best finishing hole in the Midwest. I don’t like the upcharge for range balls ($7 small bucket). The greens fees are on the high side and should include practice balls.

Beautiful course in great condition but for me the staff were amazing From the starter to the restaurant staff all incredibly personable and welcoming.

Sultan’s Run is the most Scenic Golf Courses in the Tri-State area.. Have played it many times and always look forward to the next time.. Everyone is treated well by friendly staff members. The course has had a few weather related small problems this spring, but they are always quick to fix them.. Highly Recommend!

I try to play Sultan's Run 2-3 times a year. It is about an hour drive from my house and worth the time. The course is really pretty with hills and valleys, undulating fairways and multi-tiered greens. The bunkers are well maintained. The only reason for a 4 is that some of the fairways are a bare in some spots and they have re-sodded around the greens and it will take some time for them to be back in perfect condition. We played the silver tees and probably could have played the sliver/gold combo with not much more difficulty. All but one person was 65 or over. The really is a don't miss course in Southwestern Indiana.

Apparently, there had been a lot of rain, so it was cart path only for the carts. Understandable, but it made playing very slow and tiring. Most of the fairways looked great from a distance, but when playing off of them, there was very little grass. I am not sure whether this is normal, or a result of the weather, or if these were under repair. The 18th hole is exceptionally beautiful, and the layout and changing elevations of the course makes it interesting and fun. Also, the staff was helpful and friendly. I will definitely plan to play the course again.

Terrific Ross course that held 1924 pga championship. If you like hilly courses and some wild greens this one is for you.

Played the course as a gift from my wife. Course is pricey and a forecaddie is mandatory. My caddie was extremely helpful in overall Course navigation.

Course conditions were well below my standards for the price I paid; however, I played the course on opening day. Greens had recently been aerated and this was not relayed to me in advance. As the fees are not altered based on the time of the year one golfs, I recommended not playing early in the season as the course was cart path only, extremely wet, and greens still healing from aerification. I was generous with my rating as the early season conditions did not match the price tag.

There are not many courses in the country or anywhere else in Indiana that are this scenic or hilly. The views seemed to go on forever on my early April round. Be prepared for many uneven lies on this mountain golf course.

Finally I highly recommend staying in the West Baden Springs Hotel as there is nothing like this architectural gem anywhere in the US. The atrium is a step back in time when things moved a little slower and life was meant to be savored!

This course is not for the faint of heart. The course appears short from a scorecard perspective, I would say it plays 400-500 yards longer on average, if you are into the wind, good luck. The greens are some of the wildest greens I have ever played. If they mowed the collars down and really had the greens rolling higher than 10, lots of balls would be back in the fairways. These are probably the longest par 3's I have ever played, making it a par 70 adds to the difficulty. I just love classic Donald Ross designs and it is hard finding affordable and kept Ross courses in America that are public. I wish they brought the spring rates back and the food at the restaurant is good. Can't wait to be back. The last 2 times I played here we did 36 with a stop at IU's course. I do not recommend that 36 combo in a day
