A 1927 Stiles and Van Kleek original, this 9-holer was ranked as the 11th best 9-hole course in the country by Golf Digest. More importantly (at least to us), Tom Doak rated Hooper as the 2nd best 9-holer in America, and ranked Hooper’s first three holes as the finest opening stretch in American golf. Rolling, tumbling fairways and sloping, well-defended greens make Hooper a test that takes a few rounds to truly crack open.
