Ron Prichard has built a distinguished career as both a golf course designer and one of the foremost authorities on Donald Ross restoration work. Born in the mid-1940s, Prichard's original designs include TPC at Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, which hosts the PGA Tour. His deep understanding of classical design principles has made him particularly sought-after for restoration projects.
Prichard's expertise in reviving Donald Ross courses has defined much of his professional legacy. His restoration of Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown, Pennsylvania stands as a landmark achievement, helping return the course to Ross's original strategic intent. Other significant restoration work includes The Minikahda Club in Minneapolis, Charlotte Country Club in North Carolina, and Cedar Rapids Country Club in Iowa. Additional projects span Greenbriar Hills Country Club in Missouri, Lakeside Country Club in Houston, and Hanover Country Club at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.
His approach emphasizes careful historical research and respect for the original architect's vision, qualities that have made him a trusted steward of American golf's classic courses.
