Course Architects
The East Course traces its origins to 1918, when Donald Ross, the preeminent golf course architect of his era, designed a layout destined to endure. Robert Trent Jones Sr. later refined the course, ensuring it met the exacting demands of championship play at the highest level. Two of golf's greatest architects. One extraordinary course.
