French Lick A Golf & Gaming Paradise French Lick in southern Indiana has long been a favorite for discerning travelers. In addition to the two fabulous championship golf courses, the Pete Dye and the Donald Ross, it boasts a historic nine-hole course – the Valley Links – that’s perfect for the entire family, or just a quick round to satisfy that golf itch. The Valley Links Course The Valley Links’ roots stretch back to 1907, when it was designed by the premier golf architect of the time, Tom Bendelow. It sits near the casino and is a very walkable nine-hole, par-36 course. Bendelow, was affectionately called “The Johnny Appleseed of American Golf.” In 1895, he built the first public golf course in New York City and is credited with designing more than 600 courses in his lifetime.
