Fun little exercise we did at @fried_egg_golf was make our Eclectic 18 from the courses we played in 2024. I try to only use one hole from each course and favor the new courses I played in a year. I am making one edit to my list on our website. It was a fun way to reflect on the year and tough to pick, would recommend trying it yourself! 1. @ArdglassGolf - par 4 - 338 yards 2. @BroomsedgeGolf - par 4 - 455 yards 3. Sedge Valley @Sand_Valley - par 4 - 517 yards 4. Royal County Down - Annesley Links - par 4 - 267 yards 5. Portstewart - par 4 - 461 yards 6. Medinah #3 - par 4 - 476 yards 7. Portmarnock - par 3 - 184 yards 8. Pinehurst #10 - par 4 - 385 yards 9. Royal County Down - Championship - par 4 - 483 yards 10. Castlerock - Mussendon - par 4 - 391 yards 11. Oakland Hills South - par 4 - 451 yards 12. Interlachen CC - par 5 - 562 yards 13. Pine Valley - par 4 - 504 yards 14. Baltray (County Lough) - par 4 - 332 yards 15. The Park - par 5 - 510 yards 16. Royal Portrush (Dunluce) - par 3 - 236 yards 17. Clear Creek - par 3 - 148 yards 18. Tree Farm - par 4 - 305 yards Par 71 - 7005 yards

Playing in the opening day and seeing members enjoy the course for the first time was one of my highlights for the year. The quick hook off the first as the ceremonial opening tee shot…..not so much 😀
Medinah No. 3 has a fresh new look courtesy of @OCMGolf. The redesign was one of the courses that left the biggest impact on our team in 2024. Here's what @mattrouches had to say after the new layout opened this summer: "Back in high school, I received an invite to play the Medinah Shriners Jr. on the famous No. 3. The anticipation to play the course I saw host the 2012 Ryder Cup was immense. But atter the tournament I was left unimpressed with the course. For reasons I could not explain at the time I was already questioning why Course 3 was so 'great.' "Now, after a transformative OCM renovation, my excitement and anticipation of seeing the course again is even greater than the feelings I had in high school. Reestablishing an authentic prairie environment while allowing the land movement to capture the attention of players was well executed by the Australian design firm and the closing stretch is way more dynamic than the previous iteration. The 2026 Presidents Cup can't come soon enough!"
