HIGHPOINT, GOLF COURSE

This Tom Fazio design threading through the Skylands region delivers the architect's trademark elevation changes and strategic bunkering on a surprisingly walkable routing. The par-3 17th plays downhill to a green perched above wetlands, demanding precise club selection in Jersey's swirling winds. What separates this public track from resort pretenders is Fazio's restraint—he carved golf holes through the hardwood forest rather than bulldozing it into submission.
