The Watson Course is the most celebrated of Reunion Resort's three signature layouts - Tom Watson's design delivers bold elevation changes and exhaustive bunkering across a Scottish-influenced routing that feels nothing like generic resort golf. Reunion is the only property in the world to pair Palmer, Nicklaus, and Watson signatures on a single campus, and Watson's layout is widely regarded as the stiffest test of the three. Resort guests and outside visitors can book.
