Where Pete Dye built
32 courses across 14 states · densest in Indiana (7). a coast-to-coast bucket list — a lifelong chase.
Dye trucked in mountains of sand to sculpt a faux-Irish links along two miles of Lake Michigan bluff, with hundreds of bunkers and sheep roaming the dunes. It has hosted three PGA Championships and the 2021 Ryder Cup.
One of Dye's earliest solo designs and a purist favorite for its understated, walkable routing. Famously exclusive and rarely photographed, a true collector's prize.
His sole New York design and one of his last, Pound Ridge tumbles over granite outcroppings near the Connecticut line. The par-3 15th plays beside a massive boulder Dye refused to blast away.
One of Dye's most acclaimed private courses, set along the Colleton River with tidal creeks and live oaks. The closing holes flirt with the water and the wind off Port Royal Sound.
This is where Pete and Alice Dye learned their craft, and it launched John Daly at the 1991 PGA Championship. A private Indiana classic that has also hosted the BMW Championship and a US Women's Open.
One of Dye's most refined routings, threading through Lowcountry marsh and lagoons with restraint rather than spectacle. A members' favorite that consistently ranks among South Carolina's best.
Set inside a 440-acre nature preserve, Old Marsh feels like a tour through wetland with isolated tee-to-green paths. The short par-4 5th, Blind Man's Bluff, plays to a green hidden behind a two-story mound.
Built as a tribute to amateur golf, The Honors has hosted the US Amateur, Curtis Cup, and NCAA Championships. A walking-only sanctuary blending Tennessee woodland with classic Dye edges.
Built over a former coal mine, it incorporates a replica mine shaft players walk through between holes. A deeply personal Dye project full of railroad ties and quirk.
Pete Dye routed the original Ocean Trails along the Palos Verdes bluffs before a 1999 landslide sent the 18th hole into the sea. Rebuilt and lengthened in a Trump–Fazio redesign, it is now a manicured daily-fee course with the Pacific in play on nearly every hole.
Routinely ranked Maryland's best public course, Bulle Rock hosted the LPGA Championship from 2005 to 2009. Dye stretched it across rolling farmland with dramatic elevation and his trademark hazards.
The quieter twin to the Straits, the Irish winds through dunes and wetlands rather than along the lake. Every bit as rugged, but it rewards a more strategic ground-game approach.
A rare chance to play genuine Dye design at public, state-park prices in the wooded hills of Fort Harrison. Proof Dye could build something fair and fun without the championship teeth.
Pete Dye's course sits on the highest point in southern Indiana with 40-mile views, and it has hosted the Senior PGA. A genuine bucket-list round in the Hoosier hills.
Pete Dye's tight, tree-lined classic at Sea Pines hosts the RBC Heritage every April. The closing hole plays straight at the iconic red-and-white lighthouse over Calibogue Sound.
Site of the 2012 and 2021 PGA Championships, every hole on this Pete Dye masterpiece offers an ocean view and a stiff sea breeze. Walking-only with caddies for the full bucket-list experience.
Home of THE PLAYERS, this Pete Dye gauntlet ends with the famous par-3 17th to an island green that has swallowed thousands of golf balls. You can actually play it, but bring your nerve and a fat wallet.
Pete Dye routed four holes inside the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval, so you literally play where the Indy 500 runs. The only golf course like it on earth.
Pete Dye built this one straight into the Santa Rosa Mountains, with fairways tucked beneath sheer rock faces. Dramatic desert scenery at a storied old resort.
Pete Dye at his most diabolical, headlined by the island-green 17th nicknamed Alcatraz and a bunker called the San Andreas Fault. Punishing, theatrical, and unforgettable in the desert sun.
A Pete Dye design at the JW Marriott with wide fairways and big views across a 700-acre preserve, bookable with a resort stay. The Oaks next door hosts the tour; the Canyons is yours to play.
Liddy served as project architect on this Pete Dye layout in northeast Ohio, a stout, well-bunkered test. Championship bones at public-course value.
A genuine Pete Dye championship test at Purdue that hosts Big Ten and NCAA golf — prairie grasses, railroad ties, and water at every turn. Public, and a pilgrimage for any Dye disciple.
A Pete Dye course winding up a sunny valley inland from the Monterey fog, at a relaxed luxury ranch resort. Oaks, vineyards, and warm afternoons.
A Pete Dye desert course on the Paiute reservation northwest of the city, with stark mountain backdrops and no houses. Big, quiet desert golf.
The second Pete Dye layout at the Paiute Golf Resort, with desert washes and dramatic Spring Mountains views. A strong companion to Snow Mountain.
The second course at TPC Sawgrass, a Pete and P.B. Dye design that hosts a Korn Ferry Tour event. A worthy, more affordable companion to the Stadium.
Liddy co-designed this walkable municipal gem with Pete Dye, mixing open links holes with tree-lined character. Repeatedly voted among Connecticut's best public courses.
The Pete Dye-designed home of Arizona State golf in Tempe, with mounding, water, and railroad ties right by the airport. A handy, central round.
Liddy teamed with Pete Dye on this Hayward standout, open links on the front and wooded drama on the back. A Northwoods bucket-list round that stays accessible.
Pete Dye, with Tim Liddy, reimagined Purdue's old North Course into a fast, firm, walkable companion to the Kampen. Two Dye designs on one campus — a Boilermaker rite of passage.
Liddy and Pete Dye built this approachable Carmel layout with five tee sets and minimal forced carries. Tournament pedigree without the intimidation, and priced for the everyday golfer.
