AMW Faves List

Favorite Par 3 – #14 There is simply no adequate way to capture the sheer magnitude of beauty on the 14th hole. A full carry over a crevasse and sheer, cliff-faced drop leads to a narrow, elongated green perched beyond. Pure perfection.
Favorite Par 4 – #18 – Finishing up at Pike National feels like opening a treasure chest. After four hours of a perfect walk, the 18th hole demands your full attention, climbing steadily uphill and gathering every element of the course into one final, magnificent chapter.
Favorite Par 5 – #17 – A true risk-and-reward hole that tempts you beyond measure. Even when played as a three-shotter, it demands thoughtful strategy and precise shot-making.
Favorite Hole Design – #8 – One of the most serene walks on the course, though serenity defines them all, the 8th truly takes your breath away. This par 5 will steal your heart, and just as quickly your score, if you’re not careful.
Easiest Hole – #4 – There aren’t any easy holes at Pikewood National, but this one at least offers the chance to open up the driver and let it fly down the hill.
Hardest Hole – #15 – the back nine at Pikewood National is just a beast and the par 5 – 15^th is no exception.  It played long and very narrow in all landing areas.  The undulations and longer rough can make this difficult.
Favorite Extra Sighting – the natural rock formations and waterfalls.
Favorite Apres Golf – hike Coopers Rock State Forest.
Where to Stay – Hotel Morgan
Where to Eat –  Stefano’s, Table 9, Wine Bar at Vintner Valley.
