Coore & Crenshaw pulled the curtain back on a Maxwell relic and turned it into a scintillating golf walk. Scale, big vistas and bold looks are everywhere. The framing bunkers at far off holes and trusting lines on blind tee shots are prevalent. I think 5,7,8,11 and 13 are particularly memorable.

Underrated Donald Ross design with rolling hills and well defended green complexes. Greens roll well with intricate slopes. Will have you using most clubs in the bag and from sloping lies. Good ball strikers test with positioning at the forefront of strategy.

A real treat and a tale of 2 nines. The front was designed by Ross and has a lot of up and down and the holes are singular. The back nine was designed by Tillinghast and is on less dramatic land but you can see the other holes.

Some of the best greens I have ever played. They play the Wyndham Championship here on the PGA Tour. The greens are very undulating as it is a Donald Ross and the routing is pretty good.

“The People’s Old Town” is a gem by Perry Maxwell. The city doesn’t realize what they have in RP. It’s on a great piece of land and has an excellent routing. A prime candidate for a restoration to bring it up to par.
