Harrison Hills

Situated twenty-five miles southwest of Lafayette, the course at Harrison Hills Golf and Country Club was set out as a 9-hole layout by William Langford in 1924. Seventy years later, the club engaged Tim Liddy to add a new nine to this classic old track and the process of blending new, open holes with original, tree-lined ones was rather a tough task to undertake.

Much of the budget was actually spent restoring the old holes – reclaiming original green sizes and recapturing abandoned bunkers – which proved to be just as important as creating the new holes. In order to have both nines return to the clubhouse, the old par five 3rd hole disappeared, with most of the new holes laid out on flatter terrain between the renumbered 3rd and 9th.

The course now extends to 6,720 yards from the back markers, playing to a par of 72. On the front nine, the left doglegged 7th is a daunting par five measuring a mighty 646 yards, while the short par four holes at the 11th and 14th (stroke index 14 and 18, respectively) both offer decent birdie opportunities on the inward half.
