Garnering national recognition as one of Golf Digest's Top 100, and host to numerous national tournaments (1943 Ryder Cup, 1947 PGA Championship, 1957 Western Open, 2015 Michigan Amateur, 2022 GAM Championship, 2023 US Open Qualifier), Plum Hollow's championship course seamlessly fuses the game to its surroundings with sweeping elevations and one of the best routings in the United States. An 18‑hole course with a storied past, world‑renowned architects Harry Colt and Charles Hugh Alison designed the course during the city's peak, when golf was becoming the game of America's leading industrialists and those who wanted to be like them. What they built was special. Famous for the masterpieces of Muirfield, Royal Portrush, Sunningdale, Milwaukee Country Club and others, Colt and Alison are regarded by golf aficionados across America as giants in the industry.
