Golf in Terre Haute

Terre Haute is the Vigo County seat and western Indiana's largest city, positioned on the Wabash River near the Illinois state line at a crossing point that defined the city's founding and its early commercial role. The city's economy has run through multiple chapters — river commerce, the railroads, coal extraction from the Illinois Basin fields that extend into Vigo County, and manufacturing — leaving an industrial heritage that shapes the community's character. Indiana State University and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology anchor Terre Haute's institutional life today, bringing a combined student population that sustains the city's civic amenities. The Hulman family, whose influence extended from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to regional commerce, left a particular mark on Terre Haute's civic landscape. Five golf facilities serve the Vigo County market.
