The Course
Located in western Pennsylvania, Mystic Rock Golf Club is located at Nemacolin Resort, opening in 1995 designed by Pete Dye. Consistently known as one of the best resort courses in the northeast, the track played host to the PGA TOUR's 84 Lumber Classic from 2003-2006, with Vijay Singh winning the title there in 2004. The course also saw Michelle Wie make one of her six starts on the PGA TOUR in 2006. The par-72, 7,516 yard course was ranked No. 2 in Golfweek's "Best Courses You Can Play: Pennsylvania", and underwent a bunker renovation in 2021.
