Plum Hollow

Venue for the PGA Championships in 1947, the course at Plum Hollow Country Club was originally set out in 1921 by C. H. Alison. The Rouge River running through the property affects all but a couple of holes.

"Based out of an office in Detroit, Hugh Alison was a busy man in the Midwest in the early 1920s," wrote Tom Doak in The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses. "The terrain here is a bit similar to Inverness in Toledo, with a series of deep swales running across the course. There is a difficult set of short holes, but the par-4 13th is the one you'd most like to take home."

Drew Rogers embarked on a renovation project at the club in 2019, dealing with drainage issues that year. Following on from this work, he completed a tee and bunker upgrade during 2021. Tees were made bigger and rearranged to give alternative playing angles and sand hazards were made more prominent. Trees were also removed to open up playing corridors and restore dramatic views across the property.

World Top 100 Golf Courses

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.
