The Peter Dye Challenge course was the last of three layouts to open at Mission Hills Country Club. Trademark railway sleepers buttress several greens close to intimidating water hazards, reminding golfers that they’re playing a Dye track.

Pete Dye captained the college team in his youth before going on to qualify for the US Open in 1957. He won the Indiana State Amateur, took part in The Amateur in 1963 and played in five US Amateurs.
Born the son of Paul Francis (“Pink”) and Elizabeth Dye in 1925, Pete more than likely inherited his work ethic from his father who was, at various times, a politician, bar owner, insurance agent and postmaster in his hometown of Urbana in Champaign County, Ohio.
