Foundation Golf at Belterra


Whether you're taking a swing at unlimited balls on the driving range, tracking your distance on a GPS enabled golf cart or cooling off at the end of your round with a cold towel, it’s easy to see why this is one of the best public golf courses in the region.

Designed by Tom Fazio, this championship course was ranked in the top 20 U.S. casino golf courses by Golfweek. Created to highlight the natural surroundings, winding through lakes and over 2,200 trees, the par 71 course challenges players with water hazards and bunkers set amidst the beautiful rolling hills.

The fee for the Foundation Outing is $245 per person, which includes the green fees, cart and a boxed lunch with a donation going to the CRSI Foundation.

 

 

Regional Golf At Rising Star

 

The Links at Rising Star is Southern Indiana's only true Scottish links-style golf course.
