Money Hill Golf and Country Club and Dancing Rabbit Golf Club, U.S.A.

 
 

Money Hill Golf and Country Club - Louisiana, U.S.A.

Money Hill Golf & Country Club, which wraps around a 200-acre lake fed by an artesian spring, is the centerpiece of the private community of Abitha Springs in southeastern Louisiana. Money Hill acquired its name in the 1800s because it was reputed to be where the Barataria pirates, the most infamous of whom was Jean Lafitte, had buried their stolen treasure. Treasure hunters continued to explore and excavate the site until well into the 1930s. Designed by Ron Gar! and opened in 1998, the interior holes at Money Hill play across hills and valleys. The final five holes hug the shoreline, including the par-three 16th, with its green set in the lake. The home of many protected species of birds and plants indigenous to the longleaf pine ecosystem of this part of the Louisiana coast, Money Hill is a conservation priority site.

Dancing Rabbit Golf Club - Texas, U.S.A.

Dancing Rabbit Golf Club is built on the ancestral lands of the Mississippi Band of the Choctaw Indians, most of whom were forcibly relocated to Indian Territory in Oklahoma in the 1830s. This resort in central Mississippi, near Tupelo, consists of two courses, The Azaleas and The Oaks, both designed by Tom Fazio and Jerry Pate, the 1976 U.S. Open champion. The Courses are carved through gently rolling forests of high-canopied pines and hardwoods, with more than two miles of spring-fed creeks and streams weaving across the fairways. The clubhouse is located at the headwaters of Wolf Creek. Dancing Rabbit is named for the traditional Choctaw assembly grounds along the banks of the Big and Little Dancing Rabbit Creeks a few miles from the clubhouse.
