Best Golf Course Logo

« **Reply #100 on:** July 25, 2002, 03:00:32 PM »

Actually the reason I had brought this up earlier was that I had seen two different logos. One was just the head of a Seminole Indian. Another time I saw a picture of Jack Welch with a Seminole Indian with a circle around the Indian head. I just wasn't sure if there was a different one or not.

rhobbs,

Now that you mention it, I think I have seen both LOGOS.

Perhaps it's a difference in style or change made one year.

I'm curious and will try to get the answer.

I think a logo is very important to a club or a public facility. We feel that the logo of Blue Heron Pines is very good and sells shirts. I also like Pine Valley's logo. In Ireland I like Tralee.
I think private clubs should have a more understated logo.

The logo on a shirt I've gotten the most comments about it Sunnybrook's (Philly). It might be the smallest of any logo anywhere.

I must say that I have always liked the Gulph Mills logo, long before I ever had the pleasure of meeting the one and only. It is elegant and understated (the logo, not Tommy), as is the club. The sign at the club entrance only has the logo on it where it quietly greets those in the know. I have a GMGC belt with the logos all around although it hardly fits anymore; have to get a longer one next time I'm over there.

I like the logo at Yale, Cypress, Kingsley Club, and Meadow Club.

My favorite though is Merion.

East Hampton Golf Club had as their original logo a red tail hawk that I thought was one of the coolest I had seen. Alas, when I played there again this summer the Pro told me that they were going to change it. Anyone know what the new logo is going to be?

The Creek in LI has a bird with a golf club. too cool!

« **Reply #108 on:** July 27, 2002, 12:56:38 PM »

The madness has gone on long enough. Five pages and nobody has mentioned Harbour Town? It's cool, classy and unique.

Is the silhouette in the NBDL logo supposed to be of anyone in particular?

« **Reply #110 on:** July 28, 2002, 09:17:03 AM »

How about Mid Ocean, Classy and cool. Garden City? Homage to the origins of the game.

For an opinion, the Sand Hills logo by itself is nothing. Pebble Beach is so commercial it fits the resort perfectly. Logo or experience?

As for Merion, did they leave any scotch broom with the restoration?

Logos change, it is fun to see the various logos at a club over time as they evolve.

The original Pine Valley logo may be the best though, there is a roughly drawn scragly tree with old fashioned letters P.V.G.C. underneath, periods included. Carved out of metal en bas relief, one can see this logo in the dining room and when you drive in.

With all the course restoration, why not restore the oldest logos, too?

I have to admit I like all the old Landmark course logos with the Oak Tree.

I also like:

Burning Tree (evergreen tree on fire)

Myopia Hunt (bugle above head of a fox)

Black Diamond (black diamond)

Jupiter Hills (just the name of the club in an unusual font)

Merion's logo is certainly the best !! Another great one is Garden city..

Friar's Head....

« **Reply #115 on:** August 01, 2002, 05:45:05 AM »

Does anyone have an example of the Merion logo? I have also heard it is very cool.
Also -- Baltusrol is nice

I have a Merion Logoed shirt that one of my closests friends who I have never met sent me...and I find it to be interesting but slightly large. I don't recall ever seeing a logo too small but often find a large logo oftputting.

I'm shocked, stunned, and overwhelmed that not a single person has mentioned Portmarnock Golf Club's logo. A sandpiper is in the middle and I personally believe this is one of the sweetest logo's I've seen and collected.

NGLA gets my vote for quaintness and sits along side Port for all-time favorite.

Here is the addy for Portmatnock - note, I have a much cleaner and brighter image of the logo - but you get the idea.

Take care,

RSB - that is a VERY cool logo indeed! I just didn't buy anything there (I was too cheap at the time) and thus didn't remember it.

By the way, what does the "BE" and "UP" signify?

RTJ

Does anyone have a picture of the logo from Sleepy Hollow or Maidstone that they could post?

« **Reply #121 on:** August 01, 2002, 09:05:03 AM »

Tom,
"Be up" to the hole. If your game was more like mine you would have figured it out instantly.

« **Reply #122 on:** August 01, 2002, 09:30:54 AM »

Myopia Hunt (fox w/ horn)
Salem (witch on broom)
Seminole (Indian)
Kinloch (St Andrews Cross w/ U.S. Amateur Trophy)
Kapalua (butterfly w/ pineapple)
Turnberry (lighthouse)

I thought of that, Ed - but that is just too simple, too obvious, and to me doesn't reflect anything about the course.. I might say that at a mountain golf course with lots of forced carries, but at this wonderful links?

Interesting. I guess I was looking for an acronym or something but that does make sense.

I love being Irish.

Bulls Bay in Charleston, Mike Strantz's lastest has a neat logo done by Mike himself. I understand he was a commercial artist at one point and doodled up the new Bulls Bay logo himself.
