St. Andrews
Course # 1
The St. Andrews course, designed and built in 1926 by John
McGregor of the Chicago Golf Club, will test your game without
testing your patience. This course offers a flat terrain
as well as large contoured greens and showcases a par 4
finishing hole with a menacing water hazard running along
the fairway on the right side. Players at all levels will
be challenged by the difficult par 3's and par 4's throughout
the course. Especially the challenging 2nd hole, a long
par 4, measuring 448 yards, and surrounded by large greenside
bunkers. Measuring 6,920 yards from the championship tees,
this course challenges the golfer to select calculated shots
to master the strategically placed sand bunkers and trees
that line the tighter dog legs. Architects Joe Lee and Rockey
Roqemore of Atlanta have made modifications to St. Andrews
over the years to modernize the course to today's standards,
but the integrity of the original design still stands. |
