Hugh Wilson's 1912 Ardmore masterpiece has hosted six U.S. Amateurs — including Bobby Jones's 1930 win that completed the Grand Slam — and five U.S. Opens, from Hogan's 1950 comeback to Justin Rose in 2013. Wicker-basket flagsticks, tight corridors, and quarry holes define one of championship golf's great short courses. Private club.
