Robert Stanton Greenwood, Jr., born in 1938, competed on the PGA Tour from 1969 to 1975 and is a PGA of America Life Member. Following his playing career, Greenwood turned his understanding of competitive golf toward course design, primarily in the Tennessee region.
His work includes Cheekwood Golf Club in Franklin, Tennessee, and Dorchester at Fairfield Glade in Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. These courses reflect his practical knowledge of shot values and strategic design developed through years of professional tournament play.
As a designer, Greenwood brought a player's perspective to routing and green complexes, creating layouts that challenge golfers while remaining accessible to a range of skill levels. His transition from tour professional to architect represents a familiar pathway in golf design, where competitive experience informs thoughtful course construction.
