Completed in 1892, the Old Course<\/a> is distinguished as the home of the nation\u2019s oldest first tee in continuous use, celebrating its 127th anniversary this year. \u00a0As the game has evolved, so too has the Old Course, with updates by William S. Flynn and Rees Jones. Abundant fairway contouring gives most shots a sidehill, uphill, or downhill lie to smallish greens, making approach shots interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Play The Cascades Course<\/b><\/h1>\n

Flynn\u2019s finest works.<\/span><\/p>\n
