| Course |
 TPC River
Highlands, a par 70, 6,844 yard course in Cromwell, Connecticut, 10 miles
south of Hartford. The course is a well-balanced golf test with a mixture
of long and short holes. The most notable stretch is the Golden Triangle,
Nos. 15-17, which play around a four-acre lake. When you include the home
hole, the four-hole collection is, according to Stewart Cink, "four of the
most exciting finishing holes in a group anywhere in the world." |
