Mystic Rock has been billed as a top public course in PA for years and I finally had the chance to see if it lived up to the hype. This track did not disappoint. Pete Dye on a mountain with what feels like unlimited land.

Fun, BIG, crazy, occasionally misguided — very Pete Dye. Has some great holes, some head scratchers, but overall positive and worth checking out at least once. Expansive, great views, well-manicured.

Note: this review is of the course back when I last played in 2023. Currently the course has taken a step back by all accounts. Lodestone is an example of how to properly do a mountain course. Extreme elevation changes, large green sites, and heavily tree lined.

Wisp Resort is great for skiing. As for golf… $100 for 18 here is laughable. Tee boxes, bunkers, and greens conditions are in comical condition. Only a few solid holes.

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. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope 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 McHenry, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
