When you invest $500,000,000 in recent resort renovations and have previously completed a multimillion-dollar course upgrade, it’s no wonder Nemacolin Resort stands in a league of its own. Securing an impressive six awards in the private category at the Western Pennsylvania Golf Choice Awards, Nemacolin has once again solidified its reputation as one of the world’s finest resort experiences. From Best Amenities to Best Instruction, Friendliest Staff, and Best Holes (2, 11, and 16) on Mystic Rock, Nemacolin’s excellence is beyond question. And the best part? This world-class gem is nestled right in our own backyard.
Mystic Rock is the crown jewel of Nemacolin’s golf offerings. Originally the dream of founder Joseph A. Hardy III and brought to life by the legendary designer Pete Dye, Mystic Rock offers a truly elite golfing experience. Set atop the majestic Pennsylvania Allegheny Mountains, this 7,526-yard masterpiece sprawls across the Laurel Highlands, combining championship-level golf with breathtaking panoramic views. From its strategic design to its stunning scenery, it’s no surprise that Mystic Rock has earned its place among the country’s finest courses.
In collaboration with Golf Architect Tim Liddy, Nemacolin worked closely with Pete Dye to create an extraordinary bunker renovation that took Mystic Rock to new heights. Completed in 2021, these upgrades, including enhancements to the playing surfaces and tee boxes, have solidified Mystic Rock as one of the nation’s premier mountain courses.
And that’s not all. Nemacolin’s second Pete Dye-designed course, Shepherd’s Rock, opened in 2017 and offers a golfing experience that is both fun and challenging. Stretching 7,290 yards across the beautiful Pennsylvania landscape, Shepherd’s Rock is the perfect complement to its PGA Tour-tested sibling, Mystic Rock.
Nemacolin’s appeal goes far beyond golf. With three distinct luxury hotels, Nemacolin offers the perfect stay for every occasion. Whether it’s a romantic getaway for two or an expansive estate that sleeps 22, every accommodation exudes pure luxury and highlands charm. Guests are pampered with personalized butler service and a curated experience that ensures every detail is just right.
When it comes to wellness and relaxation, Nemacolin’s spa is unmatched. Offering cutting-edge signature therapies alongside holistic treatments, the resort creates an environment where guests can rejuvenate, unwind, and indulge in pure luxury. The Peak, a hub of year-round entertainment, offers endless fun, from poolside cabanas and live entertainment to delectable dining experiences.
For those seeking excitement off the course, The Casino at Nemacolin is the ultimate destination. Featuring 26 table games, including blackjack, poker, roulette, and craps, guests can try their luck in an environment as luxurious as the resort itself.
Nemacolin is more than just a destination, it’s an experience that defies comparison. Whether you’re savoring the finest amenities, enjoying top-tier instruction, or basking in the unparalleled service provided by the friendliest staff around, Nemacolin delivers a once-in-a-lifetime escape every time you visit.
