Crooked Stick Golf Club

History

Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Indiana, Pete Dye and Alice Dye's 1964 original design in the Indianapolis suburbs, is the course that put Dye on the map as a major championship designer. Its memorable 1991 PGA Championship — John Daly's wildcard entry and shocking wire-to-wire victory as an unknown qualifier — is one of the most improbable stories in major championship history. The course's tree-lined fairways, water hazards, and dramatic finishing stretch demonstrate the strategic complexity Dye had already mastered before his later landmark designs.
