Robert Trent Jones Jr. is an American golf course architect born July 24, 1939, the son of legendary designer Robert Trent Jones Sr. and brother of fellow architect Rees Jones. Building on his family's legacy, Jones Jr. has developed a global practice with projects spanning continents and diverse landscapes.
His portfolio includes designs such as University Ridge in Verona, Wisconsin, Sequoyah National in North Carolina's mountains, and Al Badia Golf Club in Dubai. The firm's international reach extends to courses like Royal Springs in Srinagar, India—one of the world's most elevated golf venues—and Yalong Bay Golf Club on China's Hainan Island. Additional work includes Holtsmark Golf in Norway and Wild Coast Sun Country Club along South Africa's dramatic coastline.
Jones Jr. has demonstrated versatility across both resort and daily-fee markets, with designs that respond to local topography and environmental context. The Harbour Plaza Golf Club in Dongguan, China features three distinct nine-hole courses (Lake, Lychee, and Valley), while projects like Rainmakers in Alto, New Mexico showcase his work in the American Southwest.
