DESIGNER: Charles Alison (1932)

DESCRIPTION: This parkland layout features many tree-lined fairways and heavily-bunkered green complexes. In a 1963 exhibition match Jack Nicklaus became the first man to reach the 565-yard, par-5 15th hole in two, but not many outsiders since have had a chance to duplicate the feat; it’s exceptionally private.
