The Golf Course at Adare Manor (County Limerick, Ireland)
Set amid the lush grounds of the 840-acre Adare Manor Resort, this parkland course measures 7,509 yards with carpetlike fairways, undulated terrain and 85 deep bunkers. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and later revamped by Tom Fazio in 2017, the course is framed by mature woodlands, rolling terrain and a 14-acre lake. Rated 76.4 with a slope of 148 from the back tees, the course has large greens that average over 7,000 square feet with generous fairways that tighten at landing zones. A couple of key holes are the par 3, 171 yard number 11 with requires a precise shot over a pond to a green guarded by bunkers and the par 5, 547 yard number 18, a dramatic finishing hole with the River Maigue running along the left side, which was designed specifically for match-play drama.

The Olympic Club Lake Course (San Francisco, California)
This iconic layout designed by Willie Watson in 1924 is short by today’ standards (7,170 yards from the championship tees). The course is laid out on rolling, heavily wooded land with significant elevation changes. Tight fairways lined with mature cypress and pine trees and tiny landing zones make precision off the tee imperative. The rough is thick, greens are firm and fast and the unpredictable coastal weather, including fog and wind, can add and difficult element to the challenge. Notable holes include the par-4 1st, with its precision or else tee shot; the par-3 15th, featuring a severely sloped green; and the par-5 17th, high risk-reward hole. The 18th, a long par-4, is one of the toughest closing holes in golf. A private club, the Lake Course has hosted five U.S. Opens (1955, 1966, 1987, 1998, 2012), the 2021 U.S. Women’s Open, and other major events like the U.S. Amateur and PGA Championship.
