Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club: A True Gem
Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club is one of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses in the world. The course was designed by renowned golf course architect Stanley Thompson and opened in 1929. The course features a variety of holes, from long and challenging par-4s to short and tricky par-3s. The greens are fast and undulating, and the fairways are lined with mature trees. Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club is a true test of golf, but it is also a fair and enjoyable course for players of all skill levels.
