The 18-hole, par-72 Edgewood is frequently named among America’s top 100 golf courses. You may have seen photographs of its 18th hole, which is surrounded by so much water that it’s practically an island. Built by architect George Fazio and his nephew Tom Fazio in 1969, the course hosts the American Century Championship every July, with Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, and John Elway as frequent contestants. A round here isn’t cheap—expect to pay about $250 for 18 holes from June to September—but the course does offer special deals in the spring and fall. Even if you don’t play, tag along with someone who does and hang at Brooks’ Bar & Deck, where you can enjoy sweeping views of the course and lake.
