Guess which architect designed this course
« on: April 27, 2010, 03:26:03 PM »
The architect of this course has designed in quite a few styles and environments.  This course is located on a substantial body of water somewhere north of the Mason-Dixon Line.  This course may be worthy of being called a hidden gem, though there is  that is rather odd, but land restraints most certainly are the issues.

I don't think it was anyone on this site, but if a certain gca.com member gets it wrong, he should be committed!

Village Club of Sands Point, redesigned by Tom Doak.  Golf course Superintendent is Phil Andersen. 

Good track, a lot of environmental issues the club has to deal with.

Very impressive Chris.  I am very certain that this would have been a very difficult guess for quite a few Doak devotees who have grown accustomed to the bunkering on some of his most recent works.  Aside from the 4th hole, I think that this is a fantastic layout.

His work has been featured, but I don't think Trent Jones is an active member of the site, which was what I meant.

(Yeah, I checked the URL.)

The power plant in the background is actually just in front of North Shore Country Club, which has generated 500 more posts than this course in its own thread.

This was a tough job for us, for reasons I cannot entirely divulge.  Let's just say we didn't control the construction process the same way we normally do.  Plus, a couple of homeowners micromanaged the design by threatening to sue the town ... you can thank them for that fourth hole, Robert.
