The Valley Links Course

The Valley Links Course at French Lick Resort offers a unique blend of historic charm, family-friendly playability, and classic parkland golf in the rolling hills of southern Indiana. Originally designed in 1907 by legendary architect Tom Bendelow as the original championship course for French Lick Springs Hotel, the layout has since been reimagined into a fully walkable nine-hole course while preserving the elegant atmosphere of the historic property. Rolling fairways, Scottish-style fescue grasses, and strategically positioned bunkers create a scenic and approachable golf experience suitable for players of all ages and skill levels. Redesigned in partnership with U.S. Kids Golf, Valley Links emphasizes accessibility for juniors and beginners without sacrificing challenge for experienced golfers, stretching to nearly 3,500 yards from the back tees. Located adjacent to the historic French Lick Springs Hotel, the course complements the resort’s luxury accommodations, spa facilities, casino gaming, fine dining, and championship golf offerings. Valley Links has become especially popular among families and leisure golfers seeking a relaxed yet authentic resort golf experience rooted in over a century of Indiana golf history.
