Conrad Indianapolis Hotel Review

by

A few weeks ago I wrote briefly about my trip to Indianapolis in a post titled "Impressed with Indianapolis." In that post, I promised that more would follow, including a review of the Conrad Indianapolis hotel, where I stayed for the night. Here is that review.

by

Hazeltine National Golf Club has hosted several major US Golf tournaments, including the US Open in 1970 and 1991 and the 2002 and 2009 PGA Championship. As a native Minnesotan and some-time golfer, Hazeltine is one of those courses that one never imagines they will have the opportunity to play. It just seems too far out of reach to golf at a private course that hosts major … [Read more...] about Golfing with Delta and American Express at Hazeltine National Golf Club
