Long before you hear dry leaves crackle beneath your spikes, your senses script a beautiful fall narrative equipped with distinct smells of crisp, moist air, brilliant landscapes painted yellow, red and orange and chilly mornings that bring life into your fingertips. For golfers- especially those north of the Mason Dixon- fall golf embodies this overwhelming feeling to seize the day, enjoy a final laugh with golf buddies and hit that perfect drive before the snow swallows you whole.
This must play journey celebrates these feelings with an extended ode to our favorite spots for fall foliage, and it begins in Plymouth, Massachusetts, with the Jones Course at Pinehills Golf Club. Carved out of dense forestry and blessed with fantastic elevation changes, the Rees Jones layout at Pinehills Golf Club is 7,200 yards of challenging golf, amazing vistas and unforgettable times.
Moving up the road to Vermont but staying with Rees Jones, The Golf Club at the Equinox is a majestic parkland layout that utilizes the natural contours of the land to create a harmonious party for the senses. Toss in never-ending vistas of the Green Mountains and an iconic, 150-year-old white church spire, and The Golf Club at Equinox quickly embodies that quintessential New England vibe that sends tourists there in droves and leaves residents firmly afoot.
Patriot Hills Golf Club and Centennial Golf Club anchor each side of the Hudson River Valley with fantastic layouts that capture the sweeping elevation changes and unique rock outcroppings of this remarkable region. While Patriot Hills celebrates accuracy with its well protected parkland layout, Centennial opens things up a bit with 27 holes and a championship test that exceeds 7,200 yards from the tips. Great course conditions and amazing views abound at each destination, so keep it simple and play both!
Better yet, take a short drive down the road and give the six courses at Crystal Springs Resort in Hamburg, New Jersey, a go too! If you love links golf, Ballyowen, is a best in class option, and if you lean towards traditional layouts, Crystal Springs Golf Club is a Robert von Hagge designed parkland that many have called the most challenging layout in New Jersey. Black Bear, Cascades, Minerals and Wild Turkey round off the stout offering that keeps golfers coming back for more.
Last, but certainly not least, Lodestone Golf Club at Wisp Resort in McHenry, Maryland, is a majestic mountain course designed by PGA TOUR legend, Hale Irwin. Stretching out over 7,500 yards from the “Irwin Tees”, Lodestone packs plenty of punch for players looking to battle its 140 slope while still offering a manageable Members Tee at 6,300 yards for those looking to avoid straining their backs. Whichever tee set you choose, Lodestone promises to be an enjoyable round of golf in one of the most beautiful settings in the mid-Atlantic.
