Pronghorn (Nicklaus)

This Pacific Northwest treasure is Jack Nicklaus at his high desert best. A former private course that’s still expertly conditioned, Pronghorn remains a stern test. Strategic bunkers abound, and while the fairways are wide, the greens demand precise approaches. The back nine is where Jack really cuts loose. Built on an ancient lava flow, it features spectacular rock outcroppings and a scenic waterfall by the 13th green. The unforgettable 15th is a winding uphill par-5 that rewards players with breathtaking views of the Cascade Mountains. The hole is also one of Jack’s favorites — he once referred to it as “Pine Valley West.” Max fee: $220 (Photo: Evan Schiller)
