Tobacco Road
Mike Strantz built Tobacco Road in 1998 on 230 acres of a former sand mine in the Carolina Sandhills, and he set out to break as many design conventions as he could—blind tee shots, greens tucked behind towering dune walls, fairways that arc against raw sandy waste rather than around it.
It's been ranked among the top 50 public courses in America and the top 50 in the world by architects, but the reputation is genuinely split: some players call it the most inspired, entertaining course they've ever played, others walk off it. Nobody who plays it is indifferent.
This course books through the resort's own reservations portal.
