Three Days. Two Legendary Courses.
Twelve Women Who Just Get It.
QCLL Crown Jewel Golf Trip:
French Lick
A Links & Luxury Golf Getaway
September 13–16, 2026 | French Lick Resort, Indiana
Limited spots available. This trip fills up — not by deadline, but by headcount.
What if this September, your golf round was one for the books?
Not just a round. A moment.
You, standing on the first tee of the Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort — one of the most celebrated golf courses in the Midwest — with a caddie by your side and women around you who are just as giddy as you are.
No scrambling to coordinate logistics. No wondering if you packed the right things. No playing with strangers who make you feel like you don't belong.
Just three days of incredible golf, good food, late nights, spa time, and the kind of laughter that only happens when a group of women get out of their normal lives and onto a golf course together.
That's what this trip is.
And I want you there.
French Lick Resort: Where Golf Meets Genuine Luxury
French Lick Resort isn't just a golf destination. It's a full-on experience — and the moment you arrive, you'll feel it.
Nestled in the rolling hills of southern Indiana, this historic resort has been welcoming guests since 1845. Grand architecture. World-class amenities. The kind of atmosphere that makes you exhale the second you walk through the door.
On the course: Two of the most celebrated courses in the Midwest — the Pete Dye Course and the Donald Ross Course — plus a scenic 9-hole Valley Links course to close out the trip on a relaxed, joyful note.
At the resort: We're staying at the West Baden Springs Hotel — a landmark property featuring one of the largest freestanding atrium domes in the world. It's stunning in a way that photos don't fully capture. You have to stand inside it to believe it.
Beyond the fairways:
🧖♀️ The Spa at French Lick — massages, facials, and full spa services. Book ahead; this fills up fast.
🎰 The French Lick Casino — a fun, low-key casino experience right on property. Great for a post-dinner adventure or an early morning jaunt.
🍽️ Resort dining — from casual to upscale, the food and atmosphere are a destination in themselves.
🏊 Pool, fitness center, and resort grounds — because sometimes the best thing you can do is sit outside with a drink and do absolutely nothing.
This is the kind of place you'll want to come back to. And after this trip? You probably will.
IS THIS THE GOLF TRIP FOR YOU?
This trip is for you if...
✔ You've been dreaming about a real golf trip but haven't pulled the trigger yet
✔ You want to experience championship-level courses without planning every single detail yourself
✔ You're comfortable playing 18 holes and ready to take your game somewhere beautiful
✔ You want more than just golf — you want the whole resort experience
✔ You're ready to invest in an experience, not just another weekend
✔ You want to walk away with memories (and new golf friends) that last for years
You play golf regularly and are comfortable playing 18 holes, but this is not a high-pressure, high stakes competition. The courses have multiple sets of tees to suit a variety of skill levels. We're here to play, enjoy every hole, and have a genuinely great time doing it.
Your Trip, Day by Day
🗓 Sunday, September 13 — Arrive & Settle In
Check in to the West Baden Springs Hotel and let the "we're actually doing this" feeling wash over you.
Tonight, we're kicking off the trip the right way. Dinner at Ballard's in the Atrium at 6:00 PM — a beautiful dining experience right inside the iconic West Baden dome. It's the kind of setting that sets the tone for the whole trip.
After dinner, the evening is yours. Casino. Spa. A walk through the resort. A nightcap with your new trip mates. All of the above. There's no wrong answer.
🏌️♀️ Monday, September 14 — The Pete Dye Course
This is the headliner. And it will not disappoint.
The Pete Dye Course at French Lick consistently ranks as one of the top public golf courses in the country. Dramatic elevation changes, sweeping views of the Hoosier National Forest, and a layout that will challenge you, delight you, and make you want to play it again before you've even finished.
Here's what makes this round extra special: every golfer will have a forecaddie.
Your caddie will read the greens, recommend clubs, manage the course for you, and make sure you're set up for success on every shot. Playing with a caddie is a genuinely different experience — and one most of us don't get very often. Enjoy every second of it.
Tee Times: 10:18 AM · 10:32 AM · 10:46 AM (Three groups of four — we'll rotate so everyone plays together)
After the round, the afternoon and evening are yours. Spa reservation. Casino. Pool. Dinner on your own schedule. You earned it.
⛳ Tuesday, September 15 — The Donald Ross Course
A different kind of beautiful.
The Donald Ross Course is a masterclass in classic American golf design — the work of the same legendary architect behind Pinehurst No. 2, Seminole, and dozens of iconic courses across the country. More strategic, more nuanced, and just as fun.
With a later start time, you have the entire morning to sleep in, grab breakfast at your own pace, sneak in a spa appointment, or put a few more chips on the table before we tee off.
Tee Times: 12:57 PM · 1:09 PM · 1:21 PM
🌅 Wednesday, September 16 — Valley Links & Farewell
Nobody wants to leave. Good thing we have one more round.
Valley Links, French Lick's 9-hole course, is a relaxed, scenic way to close out the trip. No pressure. No agenda. Just a beautiful morning on the course before we head home.
Tee Times: 9:06 AM · 9:15 AM · 9:24 AM
Check out after the round whenever you're ready — and start planning when you're coming back.

A Few Things You Might Be Wondering
"What skill level does this trip require?"
You should be comfortable playing 18 holes. Both the Pete Dye and Donald Ross courses are championship-level designs, but each offers multiple sets of tees to suit a range of skill levels. This is not a competitive trip — we're here to enjoy the experience together, whatever that looks like for your game.
"I've never been on a golf trip before. Is that okay?"
That is exactly the kind of woman this trip is designed for. First golf trips are unforgettable, and having your itinerary, tee times, and travel companions already in place makes it so much easier to just show up and enjoy it.
"I don't know anyone else going. Will I feel awkward?"
I've seen this with every QCLL event: women arrive not knowing each other and leave as friends. Every single time. Show up, and the connection takes care of itself.
"What if I have to cancel after I book?"
That's exactly why trip insurance exists. I strongly encourage you to purchase the optional trip insurance add-on at checkout — it's there to protect your investment if your plans change unexpectedly. The $500 deposit and all payments made are non-refundable without trip insurance.
"Is the payment plan the same total as paying in full?"
There is a fee built into the payment plans.
"I have more questions before I'm ready to book."
