About the Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course
This par 72-course combines dramatic backdrops with a challenging Jack Nicklaus design. It features a premium on driving accuracy and an ability to work the ball left and right for small but receptive greens.
Nicklaus is known for incorporating multiple fairway angles of attack. This famed course, forgiving off the tee yet demanding around the greens, has hosted numerous national tournaments, among them two PGA Grand Slams, the PGA Tour Final Qualifying School, and the Diner Club Matches.
