The Monument
Crafted with nods to the design philosophies of a "who's who" of legendary golf course architects, The Monument's ever-changing personality packs an unending list of surprises for players at every level.
A Round With The Masters
Borrowing traits from designers like Donald Ross, Dr. Alister Mackenzie, Robert Trent Jones, George Fazio, and Pete Dye, The Monument lives up to its name as it pays homage to the game's most important influences — with holes dedicated to noteworthy players and key contributors. The course requires a complete game, with demanding fairways and undulating greens that reward careful putting.

Course Tour
The Monument
The Monument has undergone updates based on golf architect Ray Hearn's recommendation. To improve the health of several tee boxes and greens, selective yet extensive tree removal on the front nine is having the desired impact. Select trees were also removed along the fairways of holes 1-6, where forest growth since the course was developed over 40 years ago impacted shot selections, not allowing the course to be played as it was designed. These changes improved the health and playability of The Monument.
Hole 1
The opening hole on the Monument is a dramatic par 5 that begins your descent from the top of Boyne Mountain. Your tee shot will seem to stay in the air forever. You can play a fade around the corner, but reaching the green in two shots is made increasingly difficult by the railroad ties that face the greenside bunker. Any shot played into them can be rejected up to 40 yards away. The best play is down the center, then play a shot to the 100-yard zone and take your chances from there. Dedicated to Byron Nelson
