We all know Indiana weather is strange, but it’s definitely an odd year when the golf courses in our state opened several months early with some never closing for winter. But that’s what I heard when I visited Mystic Hills Golf Club, a course in Culver that welcomed golfers months ahead of schedule.

| Golfers from Indianapolis and South Bend talk to Lt. Governor Becky Skillman at Mystic Hills Golf Club in Culver on March 27. |
Mystic Hills is one of Indiana’s Pete Dye Golf Trail courses. Launched nearly a year ago, the trail incorporates seven courses including Mystic Hills. Renowned golf architect Pete Dye has built golf courses all over the nation with most of his courses concentrated in Indiana. To learn more about the trail visit, www.petedyegolftrail.com.
At Mystic Hills, I had an opportunity to talk with owner Vicki Pugh. Vicki and her son Dave, the course’s golf pro, have been hard at work to promote the Pete Dye Golf Trail.
People are traveling from out-of-town, including Chicago, to play the courses on the trail. The mild winter was good news for an industry that already has a strong impact on the state. Indiana’s golf industry contributes $1.7 billion to the economy.
Indiana is home to beautiful golf courses, and the Pete Dye Trail highlights only a few of what our state has to offer. To find out what courses are near you visit, visitindianagolf.com.
