Restorations and redesigns are all the rage in modern American golf architecture. Classic courses built in the golf boom of the early 20th century have started reaching their shelf lives. Over time, these properties have succumbed to numerous pressures, including crowding by trees, environmental changes and an inability of these mostly shorter tracks to remain challenging for elite players who have taken advantage of advances in modern technology. Fueled by increasing demand in the industry and growing interest in golf architecture, restoration projects and outright redesigns are sprouting up across the country, with acclaimed architects attempting to rekindle the magic of these historic American treasures.
