ANTLER SPRINGS GOLF COURSE

The Pacific Northwest's rolling terrain creates natural amphitheaters for drama here, where towering Douglas firs frame elevated tees that demand both precision and nerve. Water hazards snake through five holes with the calculated menace of a links-style burn, forcing layup decisions that separate the confident from the reckless. This Washington State track rewards local knowledge—the prevailing winds off nearby mountains can turn a smooth 7-iron into a white-knuckle 5-iron faster than you can say "tree jail."
