THE CLUB AT OLD HAWTHORNE

Missouri's rolling prairie terrain provides the perfect canvas for this Tom Fazio design, where dramatic elevation changes and strategically placed water features create a thinking player's paradise just outside Columbia. The signature par-3 17th demands a precise carry over a wetland to a green that seems to float above the surrounding landscape, while the risk-reward par-5 finishing hole offers multiple routes to glory or disaster. Fazio's masterful use of native fescue and prairie grasses frames every shot, proving that Midwest golf can rival any coastal layout for both beauty and challenge.
