JORDAN RESTORES DONALD ROSS GEM

Rome, N.Y. – Golf course architect Barry Jordan of Jordan Golf Design has completed planning and began the historical restoration of Teugega Country Club.

Many authorities on Donald Ross agree that Teugega Country Club remains one of the ‘purest’ of the legendary architect’s designs. Ross lived on site during the course’s construction due in part to his engagement to a local woman. Remarkably, few changes have been made to the course since it opened in 1920.

Original Ross plans and early photography helped Jordan to plan for an accurate restoration of the original design. The restoration began in the fall with Jordan reclaiming pin placements that had been lost to the shrinking of greens over time. In the coming years, the club will continue implementing the restoration details, which include selective tree removal, the elimination of unoriginal bunkers, restoring original bunkers and the widening of many fairways.

 The beginnings of the restoration have already caused much excitement with the club’s members and Ross enthusiasts alike.
