The Donald Ross Course at French Lick is a must-play for golf enthusiasts. The course is beautifully maintained with challenging greens and uphill approach shots. The grounds crew is professional, courteous, and experienced, providing a top-notch golfing experience. The course is well-priced, especially with winter discounts, but could benefit from better communication regarding frost delays. The pro shop is well-stocked with everything needed before beginning a round. The course's rough and bunkers require strategic play, adding to both its difficulty and enjoyment. Bunkers are no joke, and if the sand game isn't on point, they can turn a good round into a bad one quickly. The course's natural beauty makes it a fun and challenging place to play, with many holes requiring club adjustments for uphill approaches. While the food options, including chicken salad sandwich, tuna salad sandwich, and hot dog, are fairly bland and nothing special, they do the job during play. The in-cart GPS was disappointing, often not working and resetting constantly, which was frustrating given the round's cost. Nonetheless, the staff, including the owner and chef, are very friendly and make the visit enjoyable. The pro shop is stocked with everything players might need, and the course's history and old-school charm add to its appeal. The course has been a favored golf destination for over 40 years, thanks to its excellent condition and professional staff. It offers a fun, beautiful, and challenging experience, making it worth visiting if in the area. Overall, despite some minor issues, many players find it a blast to play and look forward to returning.
