WEDNESDAY ACTIVITY OPTIONS
GOLF AT PAYNE'S VALLEY
Named in honor of the late Payne Stewart, Payne’s Valley golf course is the first fully public-access course in the world completed by Tiger Woods’ design firm TGR Design. A partnership between Johnny Morris, Tiger Woods and the Payne Stewart Family, the course showcases the region’s natural beauty through a 19-hole championship course.
​
Not surprisingly, the dramatic course was named the Best New Public Course in America by Golf Digest when it opened in 2021. In its first year of eligibility, it jumped onto Golf Magazine’s, Golf Digest’s and Golfweek’s coveted Top 100 Public Courses lists.

FRIDAY ACTIVITY OPTIONS
GOLF AT BUFFALO RIDGE SPRINGS
While all the golf offerings at Big Cedar Lodge are quite different, its stunning visual drama unifies them. True to its name, the Tom Fazio-designed Buffalo Ridge — on Golf Digest’s Top 100 — has an actual herd of buffalo grazing alongside its fairways, something few visiting golfers have ever seen before on a course. Adding new approaches, water features and bunkers, Johnny Morris and Fazio created a course layout to bring players in close contact with nature.
