Farmington, Pennsylvania \u2013 Nemacolin, Pennsylvania\u2019s premier luxury golf resort destination, is proud to announce that a group of 1,500 Golf Digest panelists voted the luxe 36-hole mountain golf destination #15 on the list of \u201cAmerica\u2019s 75 Best Golf Resorts.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Golf Digest article announcing the 75 Best rankings explains \u201cThe global competition among golf resorts continues to accelerate with the popularity of golf. It\u2019s dizzying but exciting to reflect on the development happening both at golf\u2019s most popular destinations and also new ones popping up. We\u2019re living in a moment where it\u2019s never been better to be able to travel to these destinations\u2014both iconic or new and modern\u2014to enjoy the varied golf that we\u2019re blessed with in this country. The toughest part? Choosing where to travel to next.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 1,500 rankings panelists, all of them avid golf travelers, were tasked with scoring any resort they have visited to play golf in the past five years on a scoring system of 1 (awful) to 10 (perfect). Nemacolin was selected in the upper 20 percent of the 75 esteemed properties honored in this ranking.<\/p>\n
The Mystic Rock course, home of the PGA TOUR\u2019s 84 Lumber Classic from 2003 to 2006, was also ranked 64th on the Golf Digest\u2019s \u2018America\u2019s 100 Greatest Public Courses\u2019 list and 11th on the publication\u2019s \u201cBest in Pennsylvania\u201d rankings. The inimitable Shepherd\u2019s Rock course was ranked 21st on the \u201cBest in Pennsylvania\u201d list.<\/p>\n
Being home to two standout Pete Dye-designed golf courses and three distinctive luxury hotels \u2014 Falling Rock, The Chateau, and The Grand Lodge, all which earned the prestigious AAA Five Diamond designation in 2025 \u2014 sets Nemacolin apart and resonates uniquely in the minds of golf travelers.<\/p>\n
Around every corner, Mystic Rock charms and beguiles golfers like few golf courses can. The hole designs are imaginative. They ask the golfer to use creativity, brawn sometimes, and problem solving throughout. The everyday conditions on this layout, and its sister course Shepherd\u2019s Rock, are pristine enough to hold a tour event at a moment\u2019s notice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shepherd\u2019s Rock, constructed by Dye and his associate Tim Liddy and opened in 2017, is a different kind of enigma. It features more generous landing areas off the tee but tougher approach shots and absolutely vexing greens. While Mystic Rock hits home with a gripping variety of holes a shot values, Shepherd\u2019s Rock does the same in a ruggedly beautiful natural setting with a quirkier flow and fun pace.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are extremely honored that Nemacolin has been named 15th among the \u2018America\u2019s 75 Best Golf Resorts\u2019 by Golf Digest,\u201d said Nemacolin\u2019s General Manager of Golf & Grounds Operations Chris Anderson. \u201cWe see every day what a special destination this is for both invigorating luxury travel and bucket-list-caliber golf, but to have such a distinguished expert panel recognize the quality and allure Nemacolin offers is meaningful and greatly appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Until you have experienced the eclectic wonders of this larger-than-life resort nestled in the Allegheny Mountains (about one hour southeast of Pittsburgh), it\u2019s simply hard to describe. Imagine a wonderland where one could spend their days luxuriating with world-class spa treatments, relaxing with afternoon tea, admiring breathtaking works or fine art, and taking in a hands-on Italian Cooking Class. Then, another guest could play 36 holes a day of championship Pete Dye-designed golf and use their off time to take a challenging ropes course, go whitewater rafting, jeeping, or clay-target shooting. After all that, they can have a world-class dining experience followed by a visit to The Casino at Nemacolin or enjoying a signature Whiskey Tasting or a fine cigar in The Hardy Room.<\/p>\n
