Like the rest of us, I'm not sure how Erin Hills will play this week, but its certainly an accomplishment for Hurzdan/Fry to get a US Open at one of their courses.


I enjoy walking our Militia Hill Course (Hurzdan/Fry) and found it interesting that Philly Cricket now has all three architects of our courses with a US Open credit to their name.   


Are there any other clubs like this?  Just curious.


I hope its a great week.

John,


I suspect the answer is none.  Very few clubs are fortunate enough to have three separate courses of such historical repute as Philly Cricket, all of which still exist in some form today.


Actually, if you count the revisions done at PCC in the teens by Donald Ross your actual count would be 4 US Open archies, not three.

That is pretty cool.


You can kind of put Pebble Beach Resorts in the category, I guess. They have Pebble Beach itself, Spyglass (RTJ Senior), and Spanish Bay (RTJ Junior + others), so those are three courses all designed by US Open architects. Not quite the same, but still.

5 if you count that WPJr helped them select the land for the Flourtown site.

And six if you count Flynn.


All kidding aside, one architect (no collaboration), per course, and not counting modifications after the fact.
