Unveiled in 2002, the 18-hole layout at Chariot Run Golf Club is the main sporting attraction at Horsehoe Southern Indiana, the casino complex formerly known as Caesars Indiana.
It is a long-established trick-of-the-trade to offer free drinks to players on the casino floor; in theory, the investment will pay off by keeping them gambling. The Chariot Run Golf Course (at Caesar’s Southern Indiana casino) features “drinks” as soon as players get off the tee at the 450-yard par four opener, and the lake will be an indicator of the risk to be expected along the rest of this 7,250 yard course from Bill Bergin.
Located across the river from Louisville, Kentucky, the course takes its theme from horse racing, a cultural institution in the region. Bergin uses the links of Scotland as his true muse, however. Fescue dwells for shots that go wide of the fairway (of course, in a less Scottish fashion, water often resides on the opposite side of the fairway) and bunkers are well-grown along their edges.
Fortunately, one does not need to be a gambler to take part in Chariot Run’s festivities...you can play it safe to the conservative sides of these wide fairways. You can also just walk on, thanks to the course’s affiliation with Troon Golf; no stay at the casino required. Of course, that also means you won’t get any free drinks.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
