13-HOLE WALKING COURSEBIG CEDAR's Mountain Top Golf Course
World Golf Hall of Famer Gary Player and Johnny Morris teamed up to create Mountain Top, a 13-hole, par-3 course. As its name implies, the elevated setting, sweeping views and nature are paramount. The course was designed to bring a more accessible experience to families, juniors and golfers who are learning the game as it routes through unforgettable rock formations and includes some of the best vistas in the region.
