AMW Faves List
Favorite Par 3 – #17 – a true Biarritz green, flanked by immaculate bunkers. Club selection varies 2–3 clubs depending on which side of the swale the pin sits.
Favorite Par 4 – #15 – a stunning par 4 that climbs back toward the clubhouse, with a creek crossing the fairway at the downhill drive’s landing.
Favorite Par 5 – #18 – Glade Run Creek snakes along the right and across the fairway, making this a two-shot hole when played correctly.
Favorite Hole Design – #11 – a short par 3 that demands precision, playing to an elevated green completely surrounded by a moat of sand. Visual eye-candy.
Easiest Hole – #7 – short and sweet, “The Alps” is a classic Raynor design and the course’s best birdie opportunity.
Hardest Hole – #16 – a masterclass in the artful use of sand, this hole showcases bunkers of every shape and size. The green is sculpted with a pronounced contour in the middle, making pin placement a critical factor.
Favorite Extra Sighting – different styles of classic greens
Favorite Apres Golf – walk around the Phipps Conservatory
Where to Stay – The Mansions On Fifth Luxury, Kimpton Hotel Monaco, The Inn on Negley
Where to Eat – Altius, Fig & Ash, Alla Famiiglia, The Black Canary (coffee)
