Question about Donald Ross Greens
« on: October 08, 2014, 09:28:10 PM »
Have you ever seen a Ross course with a biarritz or double plateau green?  In reviewing his drawings for our course, he had a 196 yard uphill par 3 with a green with a one foot deep hollow running across the green in the middle, but on a slight angle (not perpendicular to the front of the green).  On the next hole, a par 5, he drew a great double plateau green with a one foot high plateau on the front left and a 1'6" plateau in the back right.

The 7th green at Brookside CC in Canton, Ohio is something of a double plateau green. There is a rather deep ridge/trough that runs diagonally across the green, which results in separate plateaus on the lower right and upper left halves of the green. In a sense, it is almost a diagonal Biarritz green.

Greg,

Pine Ridge GC in Winnipeg, Manitoba is a Ross design that features a nice Biarritz green on the 16th hole, albeit more traditional in that the swale runs perpendicular to the line of play.

Broadmoor's 13th green is most certainly a double plateau.  It's an exceptional green on that highlights one of the better holes on the course.

12 at Schuylkill CC is essentially a double plateau.
