Rock Hollow Golf Club

Rock Hollow Golf Club opened in Peru, Indiana, in 1995, designed by Tim Liddy, a Midwestern architect known for creating playable yet strategic layouts that work with natural terrain. The course sits in north-central Indiana, where the landscape transitions from flat agricultural land to areas with more rolling topography and wooded corridors. Liddy routed the eighteen holes to take advantage of the property's natural elevation changes and incorporated water features and mature trees into the design, creating variety in both visual character and shot requirements. The layout presents a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with water coming into play on several holes and bunkering positioned to challenge approach shots and reward accuracy off the tee. The course measures over 7,000 yards from the back tees, offering length for stronger players while providing multiple tee options to accommodate different skill levels. The design emphasizes strategic positioning rather than forced carries, allowing golfers to think their way around the course and choose risk-reward lines based on their abilities. Rock Hollow serves as a public facility in a region where golf options range from small-town municipal courses to more ambitious daily-fee layouts. The club has hosted regional amateur events and remains a destination for golfers traveling through north-central Indiana. The course reflects the character of Midwestern golf design from the mid-1990s, balancing accessibility with enough challenge to engage experienced players while remaining approachable for recreational golfers.
