Jack Nicklaus began designing while still the best player in the world, co-designing Harbour Town and then building Muirfield Village in 1974. His early courses favoured the high fade he played himself. His later work is broader and more forgiving. The constant is the approach shot: big, well-defended greens that reward the golfer who plans the hole backwards from the flag.
