The two courses were done by Fred Hawtree, I believe circa 1959. His son Martin has recently been called in to lend some ideas about their greens rebuilding program. They are gradually converting the old soil push-ups to a U.S.G.A. type of thing.
The tournament is played on a composite, as was the now extinct Lancomb Trophy that St. Nom hosted for so many years.
St. Nom is a solid, parkland course, but no architectural gem or "must see" type of thing (except for the clubhouse, simply the most charming, quintessential French chateau. Do lunch in the main dining room).
The club is maintained in unfailingly excellent condition by my good friend and colleague, superintendent Bill Warnick CGCS, who hails from Oregon.
