That’s not to say that the 9-hole Green circuit is any way inferior, however. Donald Ross gets the main design credit here but a number of architects have had a hand in shaping the course, including Devereux Emmet. In more recent times Bruce Hepner completed a bunker and tee renovation in 2017.

On the Blue nine, the three visually intimidating fairway cross-bunkers at the 450-yard 4th provide plenty of food for thought for golfers on the tee.
