That course was Ross’s work- shop for nearly 50 years and it still retains some of the basic features associated with his design work. Open front greens allowing a run-up approach shot, a lay- out following the natural contours of the land, shallow bunkers and greens whose surfaces sit perched above their sur- rounds are some of the typical attributes of a Ross design, although not present at every course where he worked.
