Best of Robert Trent Jones Sr

By our rating

Robert Trent Jones Sr defined the American championship course after the Second World War: long tees, large greens split into sections and water near the finish. His motto was a hard par and an easy bogey. He built or remodelled hundreds of courses worldwide, and much of the resort golf of the 1960s and 1970s follows the template he set.
