Par 72, yardage 7,301. Just as The O'Meara reflects personality, so too do the 18 holes designed by Colin Montgomerie in association with Stan Eby of European Golf Design, which opened in June 2003 to critical acclaim. Colin Montgomerie expressed his delight with the course: "This is a unique project and I am privileged to be associated with it. You can't call it a links course, but it plays like a links and has all the characteristics of a links. In designing this course, I attempted to go back to a more traditional course".
Cut through rolling meadows and punctuated by native fescue, The Montgomerie blends a storybook setting with the exciting qualities of links golf. Here, the fairways run firm and fast. The intelligent bunker complexes demand strategic and shotmaking excellence and the ground game is always in play.
