Nemacolin Woodlands - Mystic Rock
Farmington, Pennsylvania
A Pete Dye design at the Nemacolin resort in the Laurel Highlands, Mystic Rock is a championship mountain course that hosted the PGA Tour's 84 Lumber Classic. The dramatic 7,514-yard layout through dense Appalachian forest features Dye's bold design elements with significant elevation changes and stunning mountain scenery.
History & Heritage
Mystic Rock opened in 1995 at Nemacolin resort in the Laurel Highlands, designed by Pete Dye. Hosted the PGA Tour\'s 84 Lumber Classic (2003-2006). The 18th was rebuilt and lengthened specifically for the Tour event. Par 72, 7,526 yards from tips. Nemacolin also features a second Dye course, Shepherd\'s Rock.
Classic Dye: railroad ties, water on multiple holes, forced carries, severe green contours. No two holes alike through mountain terrain with significant elevation changes. Recognized as one of Dye\'s greatest designs.
Signature Holes
Rebuilt before the 84 Lumber Classic — plays steeply uphill to a well-guarded green. Water and fairway bunkers complicate the approach. A stout championship finish demanding both distance and accuracy.
What to Expect
Pete Dye mountain intimidation through Laurel Highlands Appalachian forest. 7,526-yard monster from the tips but very enjoyable from forward tees at ~6,000 yards. Risk-reward on nearly every hole.
Resort at $100-200 at the luxury Nemacolin resort.
Playing Tips
Play tees matching your game — the course spans 7,500 yards to 6,000. Water frequent — bring extra balls.
Favor center of greens over chasing pins. Dye\'s greens punish wrong-side misses.
