The Best Finishing Hole in America Since 2000
The original list was created in 1965 by Hall of Fame golf writer Dan Jenkins, and included Pebble Beach’s iconic par 5 as the best 18th. The “New Generation” list in 2000 included Harbor Town’s renowned lighthouse hole as the best 18th. Today, the Course at McLemore joins the third-generation list, “Since 2000,” as “the best finishing hole in American golf in the last 20 years.”
Golf Digest made its selection following “a quest to identify the most memorable and meritorious holes that represent early 21st-century trends in golf architecture in America.” Golf Digest referred to McLemore's 18th hole as “…likely to become one of the most recognizable holes in American golf.”
““Great finishing holes should leave an impression, and few anywhere are more memorable or more resplendent than this one.””
