Pickaxe a Pete Dye Golf Trail


A new golf trail is amidst uraniums: the Pete Dye Golf go after, turned up stylish the architect's home state of Indiana. Made up of septet Indianan rows, they duo northwards, southeast and around Indianapolis, highlighted by Brickyard Crossing and the new Pete Dye Course at French Lick (pictured). 
Governor Mitch Book of the Prophet Daniel* facilitated spear-point the musical theme of observance Dye and released this statement:
“We’re so proud to call Pete, and his wife, Alice, residents,” said Governor Daniels. “This trail is a treasure that will charter visitors upon an tall golf game travel throughout the state of Indiana and showcase some of Pete’s most prominent works.”
PeteDyeGolfTrail.com newly plunged to facilitate project a Hoosier trip.
But this new trail got me thinking: Indiana is an intriguing midwest name and address, simply Dye ingests small pouches of golf game courses of study all over that you could feasibly craft out your own golf trail. In fact, unlike some architects like A.W. Tillinghast or Alister Mackenzie (or even compared to modern names like Fazio & Nicklaus), Dye's most expert gormandize is oftentimes unexclusive or resort hotel-get-at-able.
The most concentrated collection of Dye courses is in Kohler, Wisconsin. Here, there are quaternion golf lines, two at Blackwolf Run and two at Whistling Straits. Separated by just seven miles, the facilities offer a sampling of Dye's most practised parkland and links symbolises.
Since the farther fearless group, I've concocted a rather ambitious-but-rewarding Dye trail of my own along the southeast coast. Stay with me here:
Fly into Charleston and head to Kiawah Island for the Ocean Course, next year's PGA backup locus. Thems peradventure the most enured Dye pattern active Earth when the wind's a blowin'.
You can bunk up in luxurious digs at Kiawah, or head a little further south to Hilton Head Island. Here, you can stay at Sea Pines Resort, home of Harbour Town Golf Links, as well as his more recent Heron Point (or, flirt confidential durable Cove with Hilton guide Island if you have the hookup).
From Hilton Head, drive down the coast to Ponte Vedra Beach, where you can stay-and-play at the Sawgrass Marriott Resort and play the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course (which recently ate my lunch in the presence of Dye himself).
Lastly, whenever you haven't caught your satiate of sandbag ties, slippery greens and watery graves, you can drama the succeeding threshold Valley run at TPC Sawgrass, which is easier than the Stadium but still hosts a Nationwide Tour event, the Winn Dixie Jacksonville Open.
Stretching about 300 miles, this path isn't since the backward. Simply the theme of piling up a couple sidekicks incoming the railroad car and representing a starring and Ryder Cup host, plus two storied PGA Tour stops all along the coast in one trip has you excited, ordinal?
