Old American Golf Club

Description

The Old American Golf Club, designed by Tripp Davis and PGA Tour star and Ryder Cup/President’s Cup team member Justin Leonard, evokes the timeless features of the “Golden Age” of American golf course architecture. This storied period between 1911 and 1937 saw many of the giants of the profession – such as Alistair MacKenzie, A.W. Tillinghast, Seth Raynor and Donald Ross -- create many of greatest golf venues in the U.S. The Old American Golf Club’s natural contours, hazard styles, native grasses and green shapes were influenced by such masterpieces as Shinnecock Hills, National Golf Links, Prairie Dunes and Crystal Downs. Davis, an accomplished amateur player and former All-American at the University of Oklahoma and Leonard, who played his college golf at the University of Texas, toured and played a handful of America’s classic Golden Age golf courses prior to starting the design process for the Old American Golf Club. The result is a golf course that emphasizes strategy and shot-making and flows with a natural rhythm from first tee to 18th green.
