Mystic Rock at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Pennsylvania

The Mystic Rock golf course is a big, bold track on top of a mountain that reflects the hugeness of the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort.

It's a Pete Dye design, a whopping 7,533 yards from the championship tees and has a big, big, big slope rating from back there - a chest-clutching 153.

Don't try it from back there. You might as well throw yourself in the lion's den. They have those here, too, by the way. Along with wolves, pot-bellied pigs and llamas.

Giant boulders are strewn around the grounds. They're natural to the area, and naturally Dye, a landscape master, incorporated them into the design. Mystic Rock also has what the marketing brochures refer to as "Sahara-like" bunkers, and in this case, they aren't exaggerating.

Don't let all this "big" talk scare you off, however. Mystic Rock is a playable golf course if you can hit to the right spots.
