Week 7 – One for the Road
Week 7 of the season is the Modified Stableford format which takes us to Elysium Canyon Resort, a course with a par of 71 which was created by Chuck Gunsaullus.
Course Description:
This course isn’t in the TGCT database.
Number 13 Real Life Course
Royal Dornoch (Championship)
Architects: Old Tom Morris, J.H. Taylor, John Sutherland, George Duncan, and Mackenzie & Erbert
Royal Dornoch Golf Club is spellbinding. It seems to mesmerise amateur and professional golfers from all over the world and many make the pilgrimage to this natural links at some point in their lives. Let’s be honest, for most people, it takes a concerted effort to get to Dornoch. For those who live in Glasgow, the drive by car will take about 4 hours.
In 1886, Old Tom Morris “updated” the original nine holes and came back three years later to extend the course to 18 holes. John H. Taylor later made changes to the layout with guidance from the club’s secretary, John Sutherland. After the Second World War, George Duncan added 6 new holes (6 to 11), when former holes 13-18 were incorporated into the new Struie course.
It’s the timeless setting that makes Royal Dornoch such a pleasing place to play golf. It’s wild, isolated and, at the same time, absolutely beautiful; there’s ablaze of colour in early summer when the gorse is in flower. The pure white sandy beach divides the links from the Dornoch Firth, and it all feels very humbling.
Ostensibly the course itself is pretty straightforward: it’s an out and back layout. Many of the greens, though, are built on natural raised plateau making approach play especially challenging. It’s the raised domed greens that became the trademark of Dornoch’s most famous son, Donald Ross. Born in 1872, Ross became the club’s head green keeper and professional. He later emigrated to the States and became one of the greatest golf course architects of all time. Many of his designs, most notably Pinehurst No.2, bear the hallmark of Royal Dornoch’s greens.
Thank you all for another great season.
