4th Most Scenic Hole in America

At The Cliffs at Glassy, this par 3 is definitely the defining hole. With 75-mile views, who isn’t going to want to stop to enjoy the landscape?

“Every golf hole has its own creativity; its own challenges; its own setting, land features, trees and contours that all determine what it can potentially look like. Once you get a golf hole cleared, that’s when the design starts. Trying to make everything fit nature.”
