Sultan's Run Golf Club

Sultan's Run Golf Club in Jasper is Southern Indiana's top public golf experience, a 7,015-yard par-72 Tim Liddy design that opened in 1992 and has since climbed into the national public-course conversation. The course is Golf Advisor's #1 Public Course in Indiana and #4 Public Course in the United States for 2024, holds the title of Indiana Golf Course of the Year (2015), and sits at #6 on Golfweek's 2019 Best Courses You Can Play in Indiana. That's a stack of credentials normally associated with a destination-golf resort, not a standalone Southern Indiana public. Liddy's routing moves through rolling terrain, mature hardwoods, and water features that create genuine risk-reward decisions throughout the round. The namesake feature, sultan's breed Arabian horses live in pastures adjoining the course, gives Sultan's Run a visual identity unlike anything else in the Midwest public-course landscape. Conditioning is consistently cited as resort-tier, with bent-grass greens that roll true year-round. For the Southern Indiana / Evansville / Louisville trip visitor, Sultan's Run is the must-play anchor, a 90-minute drive from either Indianapolis or Louisville rewards the trip with a genuine national-list public round at a Midwest-public price point.
