Dick Wilson was the leading Florida architect after the Second World War, with Doral’s Blue Monster, Pine Tree and Bay Hill among his courses. He raised his greens, guarded them with elevated bunkers and asked for a high, soft approach. His courses are stern and elegant, and his assistants Joe Lee and Robert von Hagge went on to shape much of Florida golf.
