It is really Macdonald’s design, of course, but if you attribute it straight to him that opens up a whole can of worms of its own, and the next thing you know everyone will claim their new course is by Seth Raynor.


We’ve been exceptionally clear about what our role was throughout the project and I’m not one to steal credit.  But by the same token, we had to do an awful lot of work to get it built.

This project is unlike anything I can think of. It feels like a one-off. To Tom's credit, he has never claimed it to be his.

I got to play there with Brian Zager, and he was one of the most fun and interesting people I've ever been paired with.

Talking a lot with him, my impression is that there is a lot of credit to go around, and it seems like everyone involved with the project is very proud of their contribution. It honestly sounded like they had a lot of fun, too. It was a big team effort to revive a C.B. Macdonald design, and I think it's pretty clear that it was a successful one.

Matt,


Yes, I’m wondering what the point of starting this thread was. Isn’t everyone here already clear about the unusual nature of this project?

@Tim I had the same thought. Comes off like a very weird bone to pick.

Sorry if I was unclear, but Tom and Brian understood me. As Tom states, this is a Charles Macdonald design and I was just curious as to why it can't listed as such on the GOLF hot 100.
