Why we love this place
We love that Rock Hollow proves great golf hides in unlikely places. A reclaimed Indiana quarry became a course that plays big, thinks hard, and never gouges your wallet. That mix of value, imagination, and honest challenge is exactly the kind of place we point players toward.

About Rock Hollow Golf Club
Rock Hollow is Tim Liddy's first solo design, and it carries the fingerprints of his mentor, Pete Dye, who reportedly recommended Liddy for the job with a simple "Tim will do it." The course threads across roughly 300 acres of reclaimed land once worked as a gravel pit and quarry by the Smith family's aggregate business. Liddy turned that raw industrial ground into a widely praised public layout, using water-filled excavations for risk-reward decisions and closing with a nervy Cape-style tee shot over a central lake. A drivable par-4 at the 13th shows his willingness to depart from convention while keeping Dye-school touches like a centerline bunker. Owned and operated by the Smith family, including former PGA Tour player Chris Smith, Rock Hollow is perennially ranked among Indiana's top public courses.
