Golf on High

The course at the Lodestone Golf Club in Garrett County, Md., will be the highest course in the state when it is completed in 2009. At nearly 3,000 feet above sea level and surrounded by 60 home sites, it also will be Hale Irwin’s first signature course in the state. The 400 acres atop Marsh Mountain are the latest component of the Wisp Resort Community of western Maryland, which also includes Fantasy Valley, a public course that received a makeover of Holes 1 through 4 this past winter. Both courses have fabulous views of Deep Creek Lake, the state’s largest freshwater lake. 800-462-9477; wispresort.com.

Something Old

The historic Atlantic City Country Club sits on 170 acres in Northfield, N.J., just minutes from Atlantic City. Founded in 1897, this course is where the term birdie was first coined (see below), in 1903, and where the term eagle arrived shortly thereafter. The original course layout hosted the 1901 U.S. Amateur and has played host to six U. S. Women’s Opens.

While maintaining plenty of its century-old charm, the ACCC was completely renovated in 1998. A new section of tidal marsh was dug into the original 15th hole to create a more daunting short par 4 from a peninsula tee, followed by a difficult par 3 playing back into the southeast wind. The soil removed from the marsh was redistributed to raise all of the coastal holes above flood levels. 609-641-7575; atlanticcitycountryclub.com.
