Seth Raynor was a surveyor hired by C.B. Macdonald to build the National Golf Links, and he became the finest builder of template holes in America. Fishers Island, Camargo, Shoreacres and Chicago Golf Club are his. He rarely played, and built by survey, which gives his Redans, Biarritz greens and Punchbowls their unmistakable geometric look.

SignatureTemplate holes built by survey: Redan, Biarritz, Punchbowl
