Forest Highlands (Meadow)

The longer of the two 18-hole layouts at Forest Highlands Golf Club, Tom Weiskopf’s Meadow course made its debut in 1999, twelve years after the unveiling of his Canyon course co-design with Jay Morrish.

The 18 holes of the Meadow course lie to the north of its older sibling and, with fairways laid out on a flatter, more open landscape, the layout’s a little more forgiving than the top ranked Canyon course.

It’s perhaps not the signature hole on the card, but the short par four 6th is certainly one of the more memorable. Measuring only 342 yards, it’s almost driveable for long hitters teeing it up at an altitude of almost 7,000 feet above sea level. Sensible golfers will note the narrow fairway and tiny green, however, and lay up accordingly.
