A Family Legacy
The accomplishments of Robert Trent Jones, Jr. began a generation earlier. It's said the sun never sets on a Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf course. Why? Because this legendary architect has applied his artistry to courses not only throughout the states, but in each corner of the globe. He's known for designs that require strategy and daring play, with the liberal use of water hazards, and ingenious bunkers. So admired are his courses, he's an inductee of the World Golf Hall of Fame. A native Brit who designed his first course for his Alma Mater, Cornell University, while still in attendance, Jones, Sr. created the gold standard for design, passing his knowledge and talent on to his son, Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
A Legacy Passed Down
