The much-awaited 2024 Solheim Cup is finally here. The biennial event will bring together 12 of the best European players from the Ladies European Tour, and the 12 best US Players from the LPGA Tour. While six members got automatic spots into their teams based on their rankings, the other six spots were filled with the captain’s choice.

With just a week left for the championship to begin, both teams are all pumped up to take away the trophy this year. It will be hosted at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville from September 13 to September 15. In the late 1960s, the City of Manassas acquired land up to the 300-foot elevation mark surrounding what is now Lake Manassas and constructed a dam on Broad Run to supply drinking water for the city.

During a flight over the area, while scouting another potential golf course, Jones was captivated by the stunning scenery and immediately resolved to create an exceptional golf course on this site.

The Robert Trent Jones Golf Club also hosted the prestigious first tour of Presidents Cup Tournaments in the US. Its vision was to make sure that every facility and service provided was top-notch. And well, it has been rightly served so.

Which is the toughest hole in the course?

The par-3 hole 4 is considered to be one of the most difficult holes in the course over water. It stretches to a very difficult green and is situated in a very critical position, which will demand you to enter with a stern strategy to pass through. It has the right location and gets simple to putt at exactly 190 yards. However, if there is a miss long, it will leave you with a bunker shot downhill, missing your aim. The front left hole location is the most complicated part of the region, but that is mostly visual. It is a rather small target that must be met from 200 yards. The play at all times must be towards the Center of the green.

Additionally, the par-3 11th hole is another significant hole of the course. The famous Lake Manassas runs 30 feet off the front and left side down to the hole, along a steep-faced slope. This makes the area so windy on the tee that it becomes rather important for the golfer to select the correct hole as per the swirls of the region.
