The next course reviewed in our Indy Series is another Pete Dye design! This may be one of the most affordable courses on the Pete Dye golf trail behind the Tippecanoe Country Club in Monticello, IN. Located just twenty minutes from downtown Indianapolis, this must be on your list of courses to play around the city. 

Pros: There are plenty of pros when it comes to this course. The designer and price are the two biggest reasons. There are few opportunities to play a Pete Dye course for $65, but, if you play at the right time, you can do that here. The reviews constantly talk about how the course is in beautiful shape and has a very challenging layout. The location is another reason to put this course on the list. Only 14 miles from the heart of Indianapolis, you don't need to make a huge trek out of the city to play. 

Cons: There were a few concerned reviews about the shape of some areas. The bunkers look to be in rough condition from the images with weeds popping up through the sand. Some reviews talked about parts of the green being chewed up a bit. With the amount of play they get, I am not surprised that is the case, however, I did not see any recent pictures confirming this. 

This course needs to be on your Indy Golf Trip list. Being a very reasonable price and a Pete Dye design, this may be the course to plan the trip around!
