Unbelieveable views on the back nine. Links style course on the back, more traditional southern layout on the front. So pure.

An excellent resort type golfing experience. Great customer service, a welcoming vibe, and people going out of their way for you to have fun. The course itself was immaturely maintained except where it wasn’t (there were a couple holes with heavy maintenance).

How we rank
This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included, and the tees must carry a single slope rating (55–155) and course rating. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by slope rating, then course rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Richmond Hill, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
