COLUMBUS, Ind. – Otter Creek Golf Course announced Wednesday that it has selected golf legend Tom Kite to redesign the layout. Bob Haddad, Jr., owner and CEO of Otter Creek said, “We are delighted to collaborate with former PGA player and accomplished golf course architect Tom Kite and former Head Grounds Superintendent at Augusta National Billy Fuller. We can’t wait to get to work with Tom and Billy to make it happen.”

A formal announcement and introduction to Tom Kite will take place on Wednesday, June 28, at Otter Creek.

Kite turned pro in 1972 and won 19 PGA events, including the U.S. Open in 1992. He competed in seven Ryder Cups and served as Captain in 1997. Kite was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2004.

Otter Creek was originally designed by world-famous golf course architect Robert Trent Jones and opened in 1964. Kite said, “Robert Trent Jones was one of the most creative and prolific golf architects in the history of the game. The course was long regarded as the finest course in Indiana and all who play it know that the “bones” of Otter Creek are fabulous. But it is time to bring Otter Creek up to today’s standards. When all is said and done, the “bones” that Mr. Jones laid out will still be recognizable, praised, and hopefully enjoyed for decades to come.”
