The Golf

The courses

Signature Hole

The 5th · Mystic Rock · Par 5

At 598 yards, this downhill par-5 splits into two approach routes — a conservative high line or an aggressive low line past a pond fed by a 30-foot waterfall. A statue of Chief Nemacolin stands atop the falls beside the double green, giving the hole an unmistakable visual identity and forcing a genuine risk-reward decision on the second shot.

The Estate

Life at Nemacolin

Occupying more than 2,000 acres of Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands, Nemacolin holds three AAA Five Diamond properties under one ownership — a rarity anywhere — alongside two Pete Dye golf courses, a 150-acre shooting and sporting clays facility, and a 1,000-piece private art collection valued at over $45 million.

Mystic Rock and Shepherd's Rock Golf

Both courses were designed by Pete Dye. Mystic Rock (7,526 yards, par 72) served as the PGA Tour's 84 Lumber Classic host from 2003 to 2006 and carries a slope rating of 149 from the tips, demanding the kind of precision Dye's designs are built to reward. Shepherd's Rock (formerly The Links…

Rod and Range Club

The 150-acre Rod and Range Club is one of the most developed private shooting facilities attached to any American resort, with two sporting clay courses, 35 stations, multiple tower configurations, a covered heated five-stand, and NSCA-certified instructors on staff.

When to go

May - October

The Laurel Highlands are at peak green through summer; September and October bring some of Pennsylvania's best fall color draped directly over the fairways.

The insider's note

Book Mystic Rock's 5th hole tee time at mid-morning when the light hits the 30-foot waterfall beside the green at full angle — the Chief Nemacolin statue and the pond create one of Pete Dye's most theatrical par-5 settings. The wildlife safari is a genuine half-day commitment; schedule it for a rest day between rounds.
