The New Course
The New Course was opened in July 2021, designed by Gil Hanse, the architect of some of the world’s most celebrated restorations and new courses.
Gil Hanse’s portfolio includes Castle Stuart and Ohoopee Match Club, as well as extensive restorations of several U.S. Open venues including Winged Foot, The Country Club and Los Angeles Country Club. In addition, Gil Hanse has restored or renovated more than twenty courses perennially included on Top 100 lists including Merion and Fishers Island in the United States and prestigious international clubs such as Royal Sydney and Tokyo Golf Club.
