Course Overview
Tasked by a group of golf visionaries, Gil Hanse (with an assist from Jim Wagner and Dirk Ziff) turned a shuttered Dick Wilson design into one of the country’s best munis. Boasting deep bunkers, punchbowl greens, a reverse Redan and turf reminiscent of Australia’s Sandbelt, The Park could have become America’s next gated gajillionaire’s playground. But the goal here was to grow the game, so locals play for as little as $60 beside a community gathering complex that offers youth activities and educational programs. The Park is a much-needed step toward golf’s more inclusive future and a welcome reminder that Hanse doesn’t just renovate great courses, he also builds them.
