Architect: Greg Norman
At the Nationwide Tour's Livermore Valley Wine Country Championship last April, 15 former PGA Tour winners teed it up and not a single one broke par at this course. Veteran Omar Uresti edged fellow vet Skip Kendall to win, but perhaps the real winner was this hilly, vineyard-laden Greg Norman design, which yielded a 288 winning score.
