Enjoy a stay at one of these great resorts in Indiana, bookable on Culture Trip.

1. Swan Lake Resort, for golf lovers

Resort

While it may take its name from a certain elegant, long-necked creature, the focus is firmly on birdies and eagles at the Swan Lake Resort. The 36 holes of golf here are in country-club condition – but you won’t have to pay the hefty membership fee that usually comes with pristine fairways. The golf theme runs through the resort, with fairway villas and houses, plus 90 hotel rooms that often come with views of the course.

2. Belterra Casino Resort, for a weekend of entertainment

Belterra had a rocky start – its opening was delayed when the riverboat that houses the casino collided with a barge on the way to Indiana and sank. Since then, however, things have gone swimmingly. The hotel that accompanies the casino boasts great dining options – including 19 Steak & Seafood and the Stadium Sports Bar & Grill. TVs are everywhere there, so you won’t miss a second of the action.

3. Varsity Clubs Of America – South Bend by Diamond Resorts, for sports fanatics

For the kids, there’s an arcade and a playground, plus a sandy beach with a pier.
