The Architects Golf Club
Each of the course’s holes pays homage to a legendary golf architect.
• Hole 2 – Honors Charles Blair Macdonald (1855-1939), considered the father of American golf course design.
• Hole 7 – Recreates the style of A.W. Tillinghast (1876–1942), who coined the term “birdie” and designed championship venues at Baltusrol and Ridgewood in New Jersey.
• Hole 18 – Is a tribute to Robert Trent Jones (1906–2000), who believed each hole should be “hard par, easy bogey.” A prolific course designer, Jones died while this hole was under construction.
Here are a few strategies to help your score:
• Hole 1 – Pot bunkers dot both sides of this straight par 5. Avoiding them increases your chances of getting home in two.
• Hole 5 – The back half slopes to the rear. The back pin position should be bounced in from the front to roll to the flag.
• Hole 12 – Proper club selection and attention to the wind are essential, but its bowl-shaped putting surface makes the pin position tricky.

This 9-hole layout is good for players of all skill levels. Follow these tips from their course tour:
• Hole 1 – This hole will help the golfer with a downhill roll to the green. Pro placement is left side of fairway.
• Hole 2 – An uphill dogleg right might make you bark for your par but split the bunkers on your drive to go for two.
• Hole 3 – Don’t be deceived, though it may be the shortest hole on the course, it can get you quickly!
• Hole 4 – Keeping on track here is key!
• Hole 5 – This TreeLine hole may be your best bet at a three.
• Hole 6 – Beware of the watery grave on your approach.
• Hole 7 – This signature hole stretches over the water with a bailout left. Once on, the work is not over with this tricky green.
• Hole 8 – The success of the hole really depends on the first shot. Long and dry is the best chance at a birdie.
• Hole 9 – This closing up hill hole may tire you; but only lets you rest when you’re in the Clubhouse.
