Did you know that part of an Indianapolis golf course is inside the giant race track that hosts the Indy 500?

IMS is hosting the spectacle once again on this Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and 250,000 fans have crammed into the venue once again for the 109th Indy 500.
The Brickyard was once a 27-hole complex with a nine-hole course located inside the track. In 1991, the complex closed when Pete Dye was called in to redesign the layout which reduced it to 18 holes.

The LPGA held three tournaments there, the last coming in 2019.
