Tom Fazio

North Las Vegas, NV

Shadow Creek is a Tom Fazio design in North Las Vegas that opened in 1990 as a Steve Wynn project. The site was flat, empty desert, so the course was excavated and rebuilt from scratch, with thousands of mature trees trucked in and elevation created rather than found. Nothing about the finished property looks like southern Nevada. The routing is fully enclosed by trees and berms, so golfers rarely see another hole or anything beyond the course. Water runs through several holes, the greens are large and the par-3 17th plays across water to a green set against a waterfall. Play is limited and every group goes out with a caddie. Access runs through MGM Resorts properties in Las Vegas rather than a public tee sheet. The course has hosted the 2018 exhibition match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson and the PGA Tour's CJ Cup in 2020.

St. Simons Island, GA

The Seaside Course at Sea Island Golf Club on St. Simons Island, Georgia, traces back to 1929, when Harry Colt and Charles Alison built a nine on the marsh edge of a former plantation. A second nine, Marshside, was added later, and Tom Fazio combined and redesigned the two into the single 18-hole Seaside course in 1999. The course plays along tidal marsh and the Atlantic, with sandy waste areas, low dunes and almost no trees on the outer holes. Wind off the water is the main defense, and the greens are exposed enough that holding them from distance is difficult. The closing stretch runs beside the beach. Seaside hosts the RSM Classic on the PGA Tour each November, sharing the tournament with the club's inland Plantation course. Access is through the Sea Island resort and club, and caddies are available.

Wolcott, CO

The Fazio Course at Red Sky Golf Club in Wolcott, Colorado, opened in 2002 as one of two courses on a ridge above the Vail Valley. Tom Fazio routed it through aspen groves and sage meadow with the Gore Range in the background. At altitude the ball flies, so the course is long on the card and shorter in practice. The holes fall and climb with the ridge, the greens are large and heavily contoured, and wind exposure changes from the wooded sections to the open meadow ones. Access runs through Vail-area lodging and club membership, so tee sheets stay quiet compared with a standard daily-fee resort course.

Scottsdale, AZ

Raptor is the Tom Fazio course at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, opened in 1995. It sits on higher, more open desert ground than its neighbor, the Talon Course, and plays as a par 72. The course is wide off the tee but demanding into the greens, with large bunker complexes, elevated putting surfaces and long forced carries over desert wash. Firm fairways and Bermuda greens make angle of approach matter more than raw distance. Raptor hosted the NCAA Division I men's and women's golf championships in the early 2020s, when Grayhawk served as the fixed site for the event. Phil's Grill is Grayhawk's 19th hole, named for club ambassador Phil Mickelson. Its patio tables, campfire-style lounge and views across the course toward the McDowell Mountains give Raptor groups an easy place to keep the round going.

Las Vegas, NV

Wynn Golf Club sits directly behind the resort on the Las Vegas Strip. Tom Fazio built the original course with Steve Wynn, and it opened in 2005 on the site of the former Desert Inn golf course. The land was reshaped substantially, with mature trees moved in, a large water feature built and elevation created on a flat site. It plays as a par 70 and is short by modern standards, with the tee shot decisions driven by water and tree lines rather than length. The course was closed in 2017 and rebuilt to a revised Fazio design before reopening in 2019. Play is limited to resort guests.

Brooksville, FL

The Roost is an 18-hole, par-72 course at Cabot Citrus Farms in Brooksville, built as a collaboration between Kyle Franz, Mike Nuzzo and Rod Whitman, with Ran Morrissett as design consultant. It opened in 2024 and plays over varied ground next to Karoo, moving from sandy scrub into rolling meadows dotted with dogwoods and native wildflowers and past a 40-foot-deep sinkhole. At roughly 7,200 yards it is the calmer, more restrained of the pair, with low-profile green settings that sit into the land rather than perch above it. The multi-architect collaboration behind it is unusual in modern course design and shapes the variety from hole to hole.

Hollister, MO

Buffalo Ridge at Big Cedar Lodge in Hollister, Missouri, began as the Branson Creek course in 1999 and was rebuilt by Tom Fazio, reopening in the 2010s under its current name. Bison from a neighboring conservation herd are often visible from the holes. The course plays through Ozark hills with tall native grasses, exposed limestone and creek crossings. Fairways move with the terrain, several tees are set high above the landing areas, and the greens are firm with substantial contour. Buffalo Ridge hosts the Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf, a PGA Tour Champions event, and is open to resort guests.

Akron, OH

The Fazio Course, formerly the West Course at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio, was designed by Geoffrey Cornish and Brian Silva and opened in 1989 as the club's third 18-hole course. Tom Fazio redesigned it in 2001, and the course was renamed for him in 2020 ahead of a bunker renovation completed in 2021. It plays just under 7,000 yards at par 70. Firestone is a private club owned by Invited; play is open to members and through stay-and-play packages, not general public tee times.

Greensboro, GA

The National is an 18-hole course at Reynolds Lake Oconee in Greensboro, Georgia, designed by Tom Fazio and opened in 1997. Today it is made up of the Ridge and Cove nines; the original Bluff nine was combined with nine new holes in 2024 to form a separate course, Richland. The National plays 7,034 yards at par 72, with big elevation changes between tee, fairway and green, including approaches that drop as much as 60 feet. It is part of the Reynolds Lake Oconee community and is played by members and resort guests.

Borrego Springs, CA

Rams Hill is a desert golf course in Borrego Springs, California, in the Anza-Borrego Desert near the Santa Rosa Mountains. Built in the early 1980s as a Ted Robinson design, the course was redesigned in 2007 by Tom Fazio, who reshaped the bunkering and routed holes up and back down a rocky ridgeline. The par-72 layout plays 7,232 yards from the tips with a slope rating of 141, and five sets of tees suit a range of skill levels. Elevation changes throughout the round open up views of the surrounding mountains and valley floor. The finishing hole is a par 5 that plays downhill to a lake-lined fairway before an uphill approach to a bunkered green.

Isle of Palms, SC

The Links Course at Wild Dunes opened in 1980 on the northeastern tip of the Isle of Palms and was the first solo commission for architect Tom Fazio. The routing moves through natural dunes, marsh and maritime forest before finishing along the Atlantic Ocean. From the back tees the par-72 course plays 6,722 yards with a course rating of 72.7 and a slope of 131. Bermuda grass covers the fairways and greens. Wind off the ocean and dune-set greens supply most of the course's difficulty despite its modest length. It is one of the two 18-hole courses at Wild Dunes Resort, alongside the Harbor Course.

Kiawah Island, SC

Osprey Point occupies inland ground on Kiawah Island and began life as the resort's members course. Tom Fazio designed it and it opened in 1988, and he returned in 2014 to lead a full renovation. The routing crosses lagoons, marshland and pine forest, with several holes running alongside water that tightens driving lines and sharpens the approach. Its shift from wooded corridors to open marsh views gives it a different character from Kiawah's exposed oceanfront courses. The 2014 work refreshed bunkering and turf while keeping the playability that defined the original.

Newport Coast, CA

Ocean South occupies bluffs above the Pacific at Newport Coast, one of two Tom Fazio courses at Pelican Hill. It opened in 1991, ahead of its companion Ocean North, and closed for a substantial Fazio-led renovation between 2005 and 2007. The routing works downhill toward the water, with a stretch of holes playing along the coast and horizon views toward Catalina Island. As the shorter and more compact of the resort's two courses, it plays to a par of 70 and asks for accuracy and shot-shaping rather than length. Coastal exposure and steady elevation change give it a character clearly distinct from its sibling.

Greensboro, GA

The Oconee Course at Reynolds Lake Oconee is a Rees Jones design in Greensboro, Georgia, that opened in 2002. The par-72 layout measures 7,158 yards from the back tees and follows a routing along the Lake Oconee shoreline. It is a risk-reward design that offers options to play over inlets or carry the corners of tree-lined doglegs, with lake views from several holes. The course is part of the Reynolds Lake Oconee resort and residential community and is available to members and resort guests.
