02What golfers say

The word on the course.

How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.

The Tom Fazio Centennial course, seen as the resort’s most varied and scenic non-No. 2 play, with each hole distinct, dramatic shaping, and crowned greens that nod to Ross while adding water, marsh, and Pine Valley-style sand.

Best forShot-makingSceneryVariety

Consistently praised

Strong variety and dramatic Fazio shaping; often called the prettiest course at the resort.
Crowned greens and clever bunkering salute Ross while feeling modern, a real test without No. 2’s brutality.

Worth knowing

Fairways run average to slim and elevation changes can take more than they give; the greens are fast and contoured.

Golfers recommend

Take a caddie if you can; the routing and green reading reward local knowledge.
Play a tee where you can hold the greens with mid irons, not just reach them.
