The Metropolis Country Club course has been touched by several prominent architects down the years: originally designed by Herbert Strong, it was remodelled by A. W. Tillinghast, reconfigured by Joe Finger then lengthened by Ken Dye in the late 1990s.

As noted previously Metropolis is an excellent course in an area of many excellent courses. The recurring theme here is massive shaved frontings to so many greens. Your approaches must get into the greens or they may slide back substantially.
There is an excellent mix of par 4's and the 3's are great. A couple of 5's which are quite average. Overall though this is a great course. The topography is varied and I'm not sure a level lie exists except on a tee box. Drop everything and get here.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
