Our read

French Lick is in the Collection for the mineral springs and the two hotels, including the West Baden dome, not for the casino floor. The Ross course from 1917 and the Pete Dye course are the other reason to make the drive.

Come here for

  • West Baden and French Lick Springs as one stay
  • The restored 1917 Donald Ross course, or the Pete Dye course
  • A spa stay in a town that was built on the water

Skip it if

  • You do not want a casino on the property
  • You wanted a small lodge with no golf

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.

French Lick Resort publishes two hotels in one destination: French Lick Springs and West Baden Springs. The press room describes 45 holes of golf, including the restored 1917 Donald Ross course and the Pete Dye course, two spas, and a casino. The springs are why the town exists. The hotels are the buildings people come to see, especially the dome at West Baden. The springs, the two hotels, and the spa are one visit, and the page treats them that way. It is a large resort. Gaming is on the property. That belongs in the decision, not in a footnote. The Collection page is here for the springs and the two hotels, and it says so when the casino is not what you wanted. Book on frenchlick.com. MindReach does not take the reservation.
