The Old Course (Marriott St Pierre)
The Old Course at St. Pierre Country Club has been ranked one of the top 120 golf courses in the world by Golf Monthly. This famous course has hosted over a dozen European tournaments, and past winners at the Old Course include Seve Ballesteros, Greg Norman, and Bernhard Langer. Ken Cotton first designed the Old Course in 1961 around an 11-acre lake lined with century-old trees. A giant 400 year-old chestnut rules the second fairway, requiring a test of skill to circumvent its reach. Hole 18 is one of the finest finishing holes you are likely to play. It measures 235 yards across the edge of a lake to a raised green, requiring a precision shot to the final putt.
