Really old, really nice

This planned by Donald Ross place is one of the oldest on the southeast coast of Florida.

He started at Old Tom Morris and is the champion of the Golden Age of golf course architecture.
At this time over 2000 people worked for his golf course projects.
He created Pinehurts in North Carolina, where he worked - in a hut behind the third green.

It is not clear if this place ever visited by him - it is said that he has never seen a third of his seats - and if it was not originally played on oiled sandgreens. It could have been like that because of the little greens.

It's great to breathe, feel and play the old Gulf air.

The place has been preserved almost entirely in its original form. Flat fairways, small greens that are strongly defended with bunkers.
Visible renewals are the small ponds and the watercourses. These works are attributed to the architects Kipp Schulties and Mark Mahannah.

Visible is the development from foot golf to driving golf.

If you want to play on hard ground and some rustic well-kept places, you are exactly right.

We had a lot of fun playing here, the balls did not stop rolling and the wind helped a lot. The par 4 shrank partly almost to par 3. The opposite direction was sobering. And, on the small greens there were some birdies.

From the old clubhouse, we have only seen the remains of the outer walls, they are building a new one.
