Classic American Golf Courses of the Golden Age
The "Classic Course" Series is a chance for me to recreate some of the most exclusive and famous golf courses in the United States not normally used for Major USGA and PGA golf tournaments. These courses were designed and built during golf's golden age by internationally famous architects, and have rich histories. Although I have not played, or in some cases visited these clubs, my curiosity in how they might play in Links; also the challenge to recreate them is very tempting since many Linksters enjoy playing recreated real courses.
THE SAN FRANCISCO GOLF CLUB by A.W. Tillinghast, and THE CHICAGO GOLF CLUB by Charles Blair MacDonald & Seth Raynor, are my first attempt at real courses with the following courses in the future:
CAMARGO CLUB & SHOREACRES (Seth Raynor) PIPING ROCK (C.B. Macdonald) SOMERSET HILLS GOLF CLUB (Tillinghast) SEMINOLE & BEVERLY (Donald Ross)
PASATIEMPO (Alister MacKenzie)
INDIANWOOD OLD & OLYMPIC (Lakeside)(Wilfred Reid)
MYOPIA HUNT CLUB (Herbert Leeds)
GARDEN CITY GOLF CLUB (Devereux Emmet)
