1954 - 2020 HISTORY IN THE MAKING C O R A L R I D G E C O U N T R Y C L U B G O L F C O U R S E R E S T O R AT I O N
BEGINNING IN APRIL OF 2020, THE 18-HOLE CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE BUILT BY FAMED GOLF COURSE ARCHITECT ROBERT TRENT JONES, SR. WILL CLOSE FOR RESTORATION AND PROMISES TO REOPEN WITH NEW GREENS, UPDATED IRRIGATION AND IMPROVED DRAINAGE. HOWEVER, THE SAME DESIGN, PLAYABILITY AND CHALLENGE WILL REMAIN AS A TRIBUTE TO THE MAN WHOSE VISION WAS CARVED INTO THE COMMUNITY. THE BEST PART OF THE STORY IS THAT REES JONES, SON OF RTJ AND A FAMED GOLF COURSE ARCHITECT HIMSELF, WILL BE OVERSEEING THE RESTORATION OF HIS FATHER’S DESIGN.
S
INCE IT’S OPENING ON FEBRUARY 3, 1955, THE CORAL RIDGE GOLF COURSE HAS BEEN A COMMUNITY LANDMARK. BUILT ON THE ORIGINAL SITE OF THE DEFUNCT 1920’S FLORANADA COURSE (A COMBINATION OF FLORIDA AND CANADA) COURSE. THE LAND HAD LAID IN WAIT UNTIL JONES AND MEMBERS OF THE CORAL RIDGE GOLF COURSE, INC. SAW THE
“GHOST COURSE” AND PURSUED THE LEASE OF THE LAND TO CONSTRUCT THE CHAMPIONSHIP 18, COUNTRY CLUB AND THE ADJACENT AMERICAN GOLFERS CLUB.
|
TEN YEARS LATER ROBERT TRENT JONES PURCHASED THE COURSE HE BUILT “THE WAY HE
ALWAYS WANTED TO BUILD ONE” AND SURROUNDING ACREAGE INCLUDING THE OLD AMERICAN FOR $1 MILLION. HE, HIS WIFE, IONE AND SONS, ROBERT TRENT JONES, JR. AND REES JONES, MADE CORAL RIDGE THEIR HOME COURSE AND CLUB, OVERSEEING AND MANAGING IT WITH PRIDE AND HOSPITALITY.
ROBERT TRENT JONES, SR. DID NOT INVENT GOLF COURSE ARCHITECTURE, IT ONLY SEEMS THAT WAY. IN A CAREER THAT SPANNED NEARLY 70 YEARS, JONES BUILT OR REBUILT SOME 500 COURSES IN 45 STATES IN THE U.S. AND 35 COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE, WITH MORE THAN THREE DOZEN OF THEM HAVING PLAYED HOST TO NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS.
|
HE TOOK PRIDE IN SAYING, “THE
SUN NEVER SETS ON A ROBERT TRENT JONES GOLF COURSE” AND WE TAKE PRIDE IN KNOWING THAT THE CORAL RIDGE GOLF COURSE IS NOT ONLY A BONA FIDE ROBERT TRENT JONES DESIGN, IT IS THE COURSE HE PUT HIS HEART AND SOUL INTO AND CALLED HOME.
R
EES JONES WAS BORN INTO THE GAME OF GOLF. HE LEARNED TO PLAY AS A YOUNGSTER AND COMPETED AS A JUNIOR GOLFER IN COLLEGE AND WHILE IN THE ARMY. HE SPENT MUCH OF HIS YOUTH AT CORAL RIDGE, TRAVELED WITH HIS FAMILY TO GOLF
COURSES ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND IN THE SUMMERS, WORKED FOR HIS FATHER. AFTER COLLEGE AT YALE AND GRADUATE STUDIES AT HARVARD, REES WENT TO WORK IN 1964 AS A PRINCIPAL IN ROBERT TRENT JONES, INC. TEN YEARS LATER HE FOUNDED HIS OWN DESIGN FIRM, REES JONES, INC., HEADQUARTERED IN HIS HOMETOWN OF MONTCLAIR, N.J. IN THE LAST 30 YEARS, REES HAS BECOME RENOWNED IN HIS OWN RIGHT, DESIGNING AND REDESIGNING MORE THAN 225 COURSES, PRIMARILY IN THE UNITED STATES. HE IS ALSO WELL-KNOWN FOR HIS REDESIGN OF COURSES IN PREPARATION FOR MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIPS, SO MUCH SO THAT HIS NICKNAME IS “THE OPEN DOCTOR.” HIS REMODELING SKILLS HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO SEVEN U.S. OPEN VENUES, FIVE PGA COURSES, THREE RYDER CUP SITES AND ONE WALKER CUP REDO, PLUS AN ORIGINAL DESIGN FOR THE 2001 WALKER CUP. HIS REDESIGN OF EAST LAKE HAS BECOME THE PERMANENT SITE OF THE PGA TOUR’S “TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP.”
During a reception at the Clubhouse in November 2019, Rees explained, “My father left a true legacy to the game of golf both from a championship standpoint and from a club standpoint because he saved this land for you people to truly enjoy and did a heck of a job with the detail.” The Partners are grateful to the Jones family and have made a firm commitment to maintaining the integrity and to preserving this classic course for future generations. Breathing new life into this landmark course is a decision to preserve not only history, but traditional “American” golf course design.
In total, these updates will result in the restoration of a timeless, classic course with the benefits of advanced technology to ensure its longevity.
RESTORING THE LUSTRE THE RESTORATION DREAM BEGAN IN 2014, WHEN REES WAS ONSITE TO BUILD THE PAR 3 ON A PORTION OF THE OLD AMERICAN PROPERTY. AS THEY WALKED THE COURSE, IT WAS THE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN PHIL SMITH AND REES JONES THAT SPARKED THE IDEA OF ONE DAY INVITING HIM BACK TO RESTORE HIS FATHER’S WORK. THE PARTNERS LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THE LEGACY OF A JONES DESIGNED, JONES RESTORED GOLF COURSE.
AIMING TO BE AS AUTHENTIC AS POSSIBLE IN THE RESTORATION, WE ARE NOT MAKING CHANGES TO THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. THERE WILL BE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE TEE OR GREENS LOCATIONS, HOLE DIRECTIONS OR ADDITIONAL LAND CONTOURS. WE ARE UPDATING BUNKERS, ADDING RETENTION AREAS AND FOLLOWING MODERN STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR IRRIGATION, DRAINAGE AND GREENS CONSTRUCTION METHODS. GOLF COURSE DESIGN INCORPORATES A MASTERFUL SCULPTING AND CARVING OF NATURE, IN ADDITION TO AGRONOMY, CIVIL ENGINEERING, CONSTRUCTION AND TECHNOLOGY. IT IS DONE WITH GREAT SKILL, TOUCH AND INSIGHT AND YET SOME FINAL FIELD ADJUSTMENTS ARE MADE BY THE ARCHITECT ONSITE DURING CONSTRUCTION, LITERALLY AS THE AS EARTH IS BEING MOVED.
Following are examples of select holes that illustrate our restoration and project goals. By looking back at original 1954 Robert Trent Jones sketches and looking ahead at Rees Jones’ engineering plans, it is apparent that the 2020 Vision is coming into focus.
Phil Smith, majority partner, led the vision for building the Rees 9 and the hope for the future Championship restoration.
DRAINAGE
B
EING ONLY THREE FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL, 200 FEET FROM THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY AND A HALF-MILE FROM THE OCEAN, OUR BIGGEST CHAL-
LENGE IS THE EXTREMELY HIGH WATER TABLE WHICH IS AFFECTED BY TIDES. THIS IS THE MAJOR REASON OUR COURSE IS CONSISTENTLY WET.
SINCE 1954, THE COURSE HAS BECOME LAND LOCKED BY
Moving mountains of sand to build three lakes, the central one was a kidney shaped body of water that affected play on three of the 18 holes.
SURROUNDING ESTABLISHED COMMUNITIES. OUR GROUNDS HAVE BECOME THE RETENTION AREA FOR RUNOFF. INITIALLY THE THREE LAKES BUILT BY RTJ WERE SUFFICIENT, BUT TODAY IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE MORE RETENTION AREAS. WE WILL BE EXPANDING THE LAKE ON HOLES 11 AND 17 BY 30%, EXPANDING THE LAKE ON HOLE 1, AND ADDING A NEW LAKE BEHIND HOLE 2 WITH THE GOAL OF DRAINING WATER FROM THE PLAYING AREAS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
THE MIAMI HERALD SUNDAY, SEPT. 5, 1954 —“One
of the lakes will lie in front of the Clubhouse, to be built on Bayview Drive, with it’s eastern
entrance facing a 200-foot canal reaching in from the intracoastal waterway. Before the Clubhouse on the west will be the practice green, and a bridge will lead from there to a broad practice fairway across the lake.”
HOLE 2 1954 RTJ SKETCH
2020 PLANS
1964 STRATEGY FOR PLAY
Hole 2, par 4, 426 yds Dog-leg to the right...stay left on tee shot. Narrow pear-shaped green makes high, long second shot a necessity to well-trapped and narrow green. A good, tight hole for early in the round.
New drainage piping and catch basins will drain into the newly constructed lake.
New lake behind Hole 2 green becomes the retention area for all added drainage to flow into.
DRAINAGE
W
E WILL CAREFULLY BALANCE BEING TRUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE COURSE WHILE SOLVING OUR DRAINAGE ISSUES. IN THE RECENT PAST WE EXPLORED SEVERAL APPROACHES TO DETERMINE THE BEST OUTCOME.
• WE EXPERIMENTED WITH SMALL RETENTION AREAS ON HOLE 10 TEE TO MOVE WATER OUT OF PLAYABLE AREAS. THE AREAS WERE UNATTRACTIVE AND DEEMED AN INEFFECTIVE SOLUTION.
ORGANIC BUILD-UP
• ON HOLE 7, WE TILLED 50 YARDS OF SOIL, 18” DEEP, THAT HAD BECOME COMPACTED ORGANIC MATTER OVER TIME, ADDED A SAND MIXTURE AND RE-GRASSED. THIS OUTCOME PRODUCED SUPERIOR RESULTS ALLOWING WATER TO PERMEATE THROUGH TO THE WATER TABLE QUICKER AND INFLUENCED OUR DECISION FOR THE COURSE RESTORATION. • ON HOLE 2 WE INSTALLED XGD SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE UNDER THE GREEN AND DROPPED THE COLLAR HEIGHTS TO ALLOW WATER TO FLOW OFF FASTER WHICH RESULTED IN ANOTHER POSITIVE OUTCOME THAT WILL PLAY A PART IN OUR DRAINAGE PLAN. CURRENTLY THERE IS NO PIPED DRAINAGE IN ANY FAIRWAYS. WE WILL BE ADDING 35,659 FEET OF UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE PIPE, SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE WATER TO CATCH BASINS THAT WILL EMPTY INTO THE THE MIAMI HERALD SUNDAY, SEPT. 5, 1954—The
Jones principle is to give the conservative golfer a safe route to the green and at the same time leave a challenging short-cut on which the expert can gamble if he wishes.
NEAREST RETENTION AREAS CREATING DRYER FAIRWAYS MORE QUICKLY.
HOLE 3 CURRENT
1954 RTJ SKETCH
1964 STRATEGY FOR PLAY
Hole 3, Par 4, 402 yds A straight-away hole, triple-trapped down lefthand side of fairway. With prevailing wind, it is not a long par 4, but second shot to flank trapped green is deceiving. Green contouring makes a subtle hole.
2020 PLAN
Five existing green side bunkers on Hole 3 will be replaced with RTJ’s original design of two large bunkers. After experimenting by tilling the soil 150 yards in from the green on Hole 7, drainage was improved.
TEES AND FAIRWAY BUNKERS
W
E WILL CONTINUE THE DESIGN CONCEPT OF AIRCRAFT CARRIER TEE BOXES THAT RTJ PIONEERED, BUILDING ADDITIONAL TEES AND TEE BOXES TO ALLOW MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIFFERENT LEVELS OF PLAYERS AND LENGTHENING SOME HOLES TO PLAY LONGER. TEES ON THE PAR 3 HOLES WILL BE ENLARGED DUE TO WEAR
AND TEAR DURING THE HIGH SEASON.
|
THROUGH THE YEARS MANY BUNKERS HAVE LOST THEIR ORIGINAL SHAPE, SIZE AND
IMPACT ON PLAY. FOR INSTANCE, HOLE 13 WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FROM THE BACK TEES TO IMPACT A DRIVE BETWEEN 229-287 YARDS, WHICH IS A RELATIVELY SHORT DRIVE COMPARED TO THE DISTANCE OF THE MODERN GOLFER. GIVEN THE ATHLETIC ABILITY OF GOLFERS TODAY AND THE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY OF GOLF EQUIPMENT, IT MAKES SENSE TO UPDATE AND CHANGE THE POSITION OF SOME OF THE BUNKERS. SOME OF OUR GREENS HAVE SHRUNK FROM THE ENCROACHMENT OF COLLAR GRASSES. WE WANT TO RESTORE THE CLASSIC SHAPES INTENDED BY CREATING MORE MANICURED AND SCULPTED EDGES, WHICH WILL ALSO HELP TO KEEP THE SAND WHITE AND CLEAN. THE ENTIRE GREENS COMPLEX IS BEING REVIEWED AND WILL RESULT IN 94 BUNKERS. ROBERT TRENT JONES, 1954— “Most
of our tees will be about 70 yards long, so we can
get a change of pace by moving the tee markers. We’re going to have big greens with tongues here and there so that by shifting the hole around we can get three tightening
“Most of the courses prior to World War II had very small tee boxes. Dad initiated the aircraft carrier tees. He made courses more flexible. That was his concept.”
REES JONES, 2009—
areas and have a simple one in the middle.”
HOLE 13 1954 RTJ SKETCH
CURRENT
2020 PLAN
1964 STRATEGY FOR PLAY
Hole 13, Par 5, 589 yds You need power plus accuracy on this the most well-trapped hole on the course. Tiered fairway bunkers on both sides of fairway catch errant drives. Get past these traps and you have still got problems with more fairway bunkers and a third shot to a small, elevated and well-contoured green.
Restoring and enhancing the current Hole 13 bunkers will create a more relevant and impactful situation for your tee shot. Three fairway bunkers in the landing area are restored to six.
ROBERT TRENT JONES, 1954—
Bunkers at Coral Ridge are placed a minimum of 210 yards away from the tee – out of reach of the first shot of the average golfer, but just far enough to be troublesome to the expert unless he hits a perfect shot.
REES JONES, 2019— “We
are going to put the character back into the bunkers...a lot of the greenside bunkers will be uphill so it will be easier to get the ball lofted.”
TURF AND CART PATHS
T
HREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF GRASSES WILL BE USED ON THE RESTORATION OF THE COURSE. TEES WILL BE TIFGRANDE, CHOSEN FOR ITS AESTHETIC TURF QUALITY PRODUCING A TIGHTER MORE MANICURED TEEING SURFACE. CELEBRATION BERMUDA GRASS WILL BE USED ON BOTH THE FAIRWAYS AND ROUGH, CREATING A MORE UNIFORM APPEARANCE AND
A SMOOTH TRANSITION INTO THE GREENS. CHAMPION WILL BE USED FOR THE GREENS, THE SAME TURF THAT IS ON THE REES. ONCE THE TURF HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED, THE FSGA WILL BE INVITED TO RERATE THE GOLF COURSE AND AT THAT POINT UPDATE THE SCORE CARD AND HOLE HANDICAPS.
|
WALL-TO-WALL CONCRETE CART PATHS, MIRRORING THOSE ON THE REES 9, WILL EN-
HANCE TRAVEL TO AND FROM HOLES, ELIMINATE DAMAGE TO THE TURF EDGES, REDUCE MAINTENANCE AND ALLOW PLAYERS TO GET ON THE COURSE QUICKER AFTER A RAIN EVENT. THE MIAMI HERALD, SUNDAY, JANUARY 23, 1955 —Two
especially fine strains of Bermuda
grass have been planted – a narrow blade variety called Gene Tift on greens and tees, and Ormond, also called “velvet,” on fairways. While the turf of these running grasses is thickening, golfers will not be left without abundant greenery. Forty thousand pounds of mixed rye, red top and Kentucky blue grass has been planted on greens, tees
Tifgrande, Celebration and Champion varieties have been chosen as turf grasses for the 2020 restoration.
and “target areas’” in the fairways. An additional 5,000 or more pounds will be planted between now and early summer to maintain good playing turf until hot weather forces the Bermuda to take over.

1964 STRATEGY
Hole 11, Par 5, 546 yds Dog-leg right with two gaping traps on right off the tee. Other strategic fairway bunkers down on the fairway. Elevated, egg shaped green protected by diagonal pond on right and large traps to left and rear make this hole a key on in a tight match.
Hole 17, Par 4, 394 yds Slight dog-leg left with fairway bunkers on left and trees lining right side. The second hardest driving hole on the course. Design of green makes second shot deceiving.

CHAMPIONSHIP GREENS
T
HE SIZE AND SHAPE OF THE GREENS WILL BE RECONFIGURED WHEN WE BUILD AND FOLLOW NEW USGA GREENS SPECIFICATIONS WHICH FEATURE A LAYERED DESIGN THAT INCLUDES UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE PIPES, A 4-INCH LAYER OF DRAINAGE GRAVEL AND A 12-INCH LAYER OF A SAND-BASED ROOTZONE MIX. MATERIALS ARE CAREFULLY SELECTED
TO WITHSTAND GOLFER AND MAINTENANCE TRAFFIC, DRAIN RAPIDLY AND PROVIDE AN EXCELLENT GROWING ENVIRONMENT FOR PUTTING GREEN TURF.
|
THE END GOAL IS TO DELIVER 102,610 SQUARE FEET OF CONSIS-
TENT, HIGH-QUALITY PLAYING CONDITIONS THAT WILL REGAIN NORMAL PLAYABILITY QUICKLY AFTER RAINFALL. EXCESS WATER WILL MOVE RAPIDLY THROUGH THE SAND AND GRAVEL AND BE CARRIED AWAY BY A NETWORK OF DRAINAGE PIPES LOCATED BENEATH.

THE EXACT SIZE AND RELA-
TIONSHIP OF THE GREENSIDE BUNKERS, PLUS THE COLLAR WIDTH AND UNDULATION, WILL ALL BE ADDRESSED BY REES AND HIS TEAM AND BE
Current greens will be replaced with industry standard USGA greens like those on the Rees 9.
DETERMINED BASED ON HISTORICAL DATA ON THE COURSE. ROBERT TRENT JONES, 1954— “We’ve
got plateaued greens—some people we’ve taken up to the course have mistaken the tees for the greens, be-
cause they’re used to greens that have a certain shape-and the target areas have been built up so that the course looks rolling, not flat...where you have flat land, you have to create.”
HOLE 18 1954 RTJ SKETCH
1954 AERIAL OF HOLE 18 GREEN
2020 PLAN 1964 STRATEGY FOR PLAY
Hole 18, Par 4, 422 yds This is one of the four great finishing holes of golf, anywhere. Against a prevailing wind, a long straight tee shot is required as a nest of traps protect target area on right and left. The green is protected by a lake the full length of the green at the left and two traps at the middle and back right. Faint hearts can’t play this hole!
REES JONES, 2019 —
“The 18th is a strong finishing hole, and a great golf course needs a great finishing hole.”
IRRIGATION
O
UR “ZONED” IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS NOT ONLY OUTDATED, IT IS INEFFICIENT. IT HAS CONTINUED TO FAIL CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TURF WITH NO WAY OF CONTROLLING WHEN
AND WHERE THE WATER GOES. THE PUMP STATION WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET AHEAD OF THE IMPROVEMENT PROCESS.
Current, inefficient sprinklers will be replaced with computerized heads that can be controlled on or offsite.
DURING THE RESTORATION, WE WILL INSTALL A NEW IRRIGATION SYSTEM THAT INCLUDES 1,287 HEADS WITH APPROXIMATELY 29 MILES OF IRRIGATION PIPE. BENEFITS OF NEW SPRINKLER TECHNOLOGY INCLUDE PRECISE CONTROL OF THE COVERAGE OF WATER AND THE AMOUNT OF WATER. OUR CURRENT FULL CIRCLE HEADS WATER THE ENTIRETY OF THE GREENS COMPLEXES, IN MANY AREAS SENDING WATER WHERE IT IS NOT NEEDED. USING SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPUTERIZED HEADS, SPECIFIC AREAS CAN BE APPROPRIATELY WATERED. FOR EXAMPLE, INNER HEADS CAN BE TIMED TO WATER THE GREENS FOR 10 MINUTES AND OUTER HEADS CAN WATER THE APPROACHES FOR 5 MINUTES, PLUS AVOID WATERING THE BUNKERS, PROVIDING DRYER CONDITIONS FOR A BETTER GOLF EXPERIENCE. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW US TO CONSERVE WATER AND BECOME BETTER ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDS.
DEDICATED TO THE FUTURE
T
HIS RESTORATION IS A CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT OUR LANDMARK COURSE BY ADDING MILES OF DRAINAGE THAT NEVER EXISTED, MODIFYING RETENTION AREAS, RAISING THE ELEVATION OF SOME FAIRWAYS, TILLING THE SOIL FOR ENHANCED PERCOLATION AND INSTALLING MORE EFFICIENT IRRIGATION. WE BELIEVE THAT BY
COMBINING THE ORIGINAL DESIGN OF THE COURSE WITH REES’ VISION AND THE MODERNIZATION OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE, WE WILL ALL ENJOY A DRYER GOLF COURSE THAT WILL HEIGHTEN THE MEMBER EXPERIENCE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. PLAY WILL BE FIRMER, FASTER AND DRYER, WITH LESS IMPACT FROM RAIN EVENTS, CREATING MORE PLAYING OPPORTUNITIES.
LAST DAY OF 2020 PLAY: SUNDAY, MARCH 29
Please note: This document serves as broadbrush explanation of restoration plans. As with any landscape design, technical and artistic field adjustments are expected during construction and are a normal part of the process. Plans are subject to change at the discretion of the golf architect.
“Follow the land, follow the land.” Jones believed a golf course grows out of the land. Golf should never be rudely imposed upon it.
