Quicksilver
Quicksilver GC (using an alternative name for mercury) came into being in 1988 when Pittsburgh businessman Bob Murphy bought the aging Fallen Timber Golf Course. He transformed the coyrse into a more demanding and much-upgraded layout, while also adding a dazzling new clubhouse.
The layout's greens were rebuilt, mounds were constructed and 75 bunkers were added. Local golfers bestowed a new nickname on the course, the "Monster of the Midway." Murphy sold the facility in 2002 to Chuck and Ed Long.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Credit cards accepted. Contact club for full details, discounts, packages, etc. [Last updated: 2018].
Walking permitted at all times. Golf carts are fitted with GPS.

Tournaments:
PGA Championship: the first men’s major of the year will be contested at TPC Harding Park, without spectators being present (Aug 6-9).
European Senior (Staysure) Tour: the Europe-based over-50s tour for men has taken the reluctant step of cancelling the entire 2020 season, based on the additional coronavirus risk associated with the age demographic of the players.
Who's Who:
Miguel Ángel Jiménez: recorded his 707th European Tour start at the English Open in July, surpassing Sam Torrance’s record for the most appearances on the Tour.
Brooks Koepka: the former world No.1 defends his title at the WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational at TPC Southwind in Memphis (July 30-Aug 2).
Traigh Golf Course (pronounced "try", and meaning "beach" in Gaelic): You'll find this nine-hole seaside gem on the scenic coast road (as opposed to the more inland and quicker A830) between Arisaig and Morar. Although not on the well-beaten path of Scotland's "trophy" courses, if you are passing through this area, it's a must play.
