Cherry Hills Completes Restoration of Historic William Flynn Design

DENVER, CO – Cherry Hills, one of America’s most historic and revered golf clubs and site of Arnold Palmer’s lone U.S. Open victory in 1960, has completed a decade-long restoration of its 1922 William Flynn golf course, which has hosted 14 major championships and will welcome the 2023 United States Amateur Championship next summer.

Cherry Hills commissioned acclaimed golf course architect Tom Doak and Renaissance Golf Design in 2007 to restore the charm, character, and playability of the original Flynn design while also lengthening it over the years to maintain the club’s heritage of hosting prestigious national championships. Much of the work has taken place over the past decade under the direction of Renaissance associate Eric Iverson.

The culminating phase of the restoration was the return to its original orientation of Little Dry Creek, which was completed this spring. Iverson oversaw the creek’s repositioning along several greens and fairways on both the front and back nines. While the project reengineered the Little Dry Creek to reduce flood potential and better manage water flow, it also brought back many of the thrilling and strategic shot values Flynn created a century ago.

To restore Flynn’s original design, Little Dry Creek was rerouted closer to the front of the green on the 14th hole, next to the green on the seventh, and then continues to flow tightly alongside the newly re-designed eighth hole. Little Dry Creek was also moved more into play on the 15th hole, where the recent rediscovery and restoration of Flynn’s original left side of the green helped create a more thoughtprovoking approach. The creek now runs closer to the 15th green, down the 16th fairway and alongside the green, further highlighting the genius and creativity of Flynn’s original design.

“You can see from all the hole drawings that Flynn routed the holes and implemented strategy based on Little Dry Creek,” Iverson says. “The way the creek plays now on these key holes brings exceptional strategy and challenge to these iconic approach shots. Holes 14 and 16, for example, are two of the finest and most difficult par 4s in the country but now, with the creek coming in closer to each green, the shot values and premium on the angles into the green are off-the-charts.”

The Renaissance team also reintroduced the famous cross bunkering on the 17th hole (which features the first island green on a par 5 built in the U.S.) and other strategic bunker work on the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, ninth, 14th and 16th holes. The green complexes on holes three and 13 were completely restored while other greens have been brought back to their original forms to ensure all green complexes match the original Flynn plans. A major tree management program was also implemented, and several holes were lengthened to accommodate the advances in the modern game. This includes new tee boxes on holes five, nine, 10, 11, 13, 14 and 16.

Flynn’s ingenious routing of Cherry Hills is truly unique among Top 100 courses. The opening nine weaves as a figure eight on the inside of the property while the second nine wraps in a counterclockwise circle around the perimeter. Cherry Hills is one of only a handful of courses with this unique “Muirfield Plan” routing, named after famed Muirfield in Scotland.

Flynn, whose design work also includes Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, The Country Club at Brookline, and The Kittansett Club, also did significant work at Pine Valley Golf Club and Merion Golf Club. His work at Pine Valley inspired the use of the interrupted fairways on several holes at Cherry Hills. Holes 14, 16 and 17 were also recognized among “The 500 World’s Greatest Golf Holes” by GOLF Magazine.

“The transformation that Tom Doak and Eric Iverson of Renaissance Golf Design have brought to William Flynn’s classic design brings extraordinary pride to our membership,” says Cherry Hills President David Keyte. “In 2022 we celebrated 100 years as a club, and in 2023 we will be celebrating the centennial of our first round of golf at Cherry Hills, which coincides with us hosting the U.S. Amateur, which is very exciting. The restored shot values on display next summer will certainly remind the golfing world of Cherry Hills’ timelessness and stature as a world-class championship venue.” For more information, visit www.CHCC.com.

The Club at Olde Cypress Reopens 34,000-SquareFoot Clubhouse Following Final Renovation

The Club at Olde Cypress, one of the most vibrant, active and welcoming private clubs in Southwest Fla., has reopened its 34,000-square-foot clubhouse following the final phase of a major renovation of its interior and on the heels of a full-scale agronomic remastering of its golf course in 2021.

Inside Olde Cypress’ clubhouse, Winter Park-based Soco Interiors has transformed the golf shop, welcome area and offices with a contemporary palette of crisp whites, sophisticated grays and layered neutrals with accents of deep blue. The woodwork is painted a cool gray and blends perfectly with new silver and woodaccented pendant lighting and a modern sphere-shaped chandelier. Countertops are adorned with sleek Calacatta stone tops, and display areas for clothing and shoes create a neutral backdrop for displaying the latest fashion trends.

As part of the final phase, new custom mahogany doors were installed to welcome members into the new-look clubhouse. Oversized marble-look flooring and a palette of soft grays, blues, and white set the tone in the clubhouse’s bright, open spaces. Two gold-leafed glass chandeliers in the main hall serve as dramatic focal points, while new upholstered seating and fresh artwork add a contemporary touch. The lighter color scheme continues into the gallery and back hall with gray-toned luxury vinyl-wood plank flooring. New valances in a shimmery fabric contrast these light, sunny spaces.

“We all recognize how fortunate we are to be reopening our beautifully updated clubhouse during a time when the damage wrought by Hurricane Ian still impacts so many people in our region,” says Olde Cypress General Manager Ken Lanigan. “As we celebrate and enjoy our new project, our ownership, leadership and members continue to assist our community in its rebuilding efforts.”

The clubhouse renovation is part of a multi-million-dollar investment in Olde Cypress by owner STOCK Development. In 2021, the club’s P.B. Dye-designed golf course underwent a full agronomic remastering including resurfacing of all 18 greens, practice green and chipping area with TifEagle Bermuda. Tee boxes were also enlarged, leveled and re-grassing with Bimini Bermuda. The installation of a new subsurface drainage system allows for the rapid expulsion of excess water. To complete the project, the course’s 98 bunkers were refreshed with new edging, contouring and visually-stunning sand.

In addition to the first floor, the clubhouse upstairs interiors were enhanced and refined. New artwork and accessories mix colorful, contemporary pieces with unique textural elements. The dining and ballroom spaces have been modernized with new lighting and flooring. The library has a lighter look with painted wood architectural details that contrast vividly with the fresh white walls.

The Club at Olde Cypress is the centerpiece of a highly soughtafter, 450-acre gated enclave with resale homes ranging from $950,000 to over $2.5 million. Over the past two years, residents and members have flocked to Old Cypress, lured by the 34,000-squarefoot clubhouse with fine and casual dining and its highly-regarded P.B. Dye golf course, the famed architect’s only design in Collier County.

Other amenities include tennis and pickleball courts, fitness center and pool and a 34,000-square-foot clubhouse featuring both casual and fine dining. The club and surrounding 540-acre gated community are located just minutes from the Naples’ famous beaches, world-class shopping on 5th Avenue, and the Southwest Florida International Airport.

Cape Club Of Palm City To Open November 18

Palm City, FL – The Cape Club of Palm City (formerly The Fox Club Florida) is set to open on November 18th following an extensive renovation to both the golf course and clubhouse. Acquired by The Cape Club Collection in May of this year, the 18-hole golf course and over 16,500 square-foot clubhouse have undergone significant improvements since closing on July 1st. Located 30 minutes north of the West Palm Beach airport, the renovated and rebranded facility will open as a premier private club, destined to be a crown jewel of Palm City and the Treasure Coast region.

“The excitement is reaching a fever pitch for the new Cape Club of Palm City,” said General Manager Kristi Tower. “We have been inundated with membership inquiries and are truly excited to unveil the club, and create lasting golf, social and culinary memories for our members and guests.”

New ownership has completed extensive renovations throughout the golf course, including newly landscaped areas around the course and clubhouse, renovated bunkers with brilliant “Augustawhite” bunker sand, new coquina cart paths, as well as enhanced agronomic conditions.

Clubhouse renovations include a completely renovated interior with a new dining room, bar, grand ballroom, a newly designed bridal suite and more. Additionally, the clubhouse now boasts an expanded back patio that runs the width of the building with fire pits, a new sound system and views of the 9th hole (formerly the 18th).

“At first, we had a ‘lighter’ scope with regards to the clubhouse,” added Tower. “New ownership got in there and decide to make a bigger commitment and now nearly the entire of the clubhouse has been refined, refreshed and feels completely new throughout. Whether in the clubhouse, private dining room or expansive patio, our members will enjoy five-star cuisine served up in partnership with popular Chef’s Table.”

The club has also added a new fleet of custom Club Car golf carts featuring state-of-the-art GPS, Bluetooth-enabled upgraded speakers, coolers, in-cart ball/club washers, custom bucket seats and more.

“The golf course will serve up one of the most memorable golf experiences in the region for Cape Club members and guests,” said Cape Club’s Director of Golf Brett Melton. “We are excited to unveil to the golf world the new Cape Club of Palm City on November 18th.”

Capital improvements made by The Cape Club Collection represent a multi seven-figure investment on the golf course and clubhouse. Members of the rebranded and relaunched private club also have access to The Cape Club Collection sister courses, The Cape Club of Sharon and The Cape Club of Falmouth both located in Massachusetts.

Home to nearly 20 courses, including LPGA International and a pair of Donald Ross designs, Daytona Beach is one of Central Florida’s most popular golf destinations, delivering the type of quality, value and good times group leaders relish.

Chicago Golf Club to Host 2033 U.S. Women’s Open Presented by ProMedica and 2036 Walker Cup

The USGA today announced that Chicago Golf Club, in Wheaton, Ill., will be the host site for the 2033 U.S. Women’s Open Presented by ProMedica and the 2036 Walker Cup Match. The historic club has previously hosted 12 USGA championships, most recently the inaugural U.S. Senior Women’s Open in 2018.

“The history of the USGA and American golf can’t be told without Chicago Golf Club, and just over 125 years after hosting its first USGA championship, we’re thrilled to announce our return for two additional significant events,” said John Bodenhamer, USGA chief championships officer. “With the tremendous support of its members and some of the game’s most iconic architecture, we’re confident that Chicago Golf Club will deliver memorable moments and an opportunity for golf fans around the world to see one of America’s finest golf venues.”

Located in Chicago’s western suburbs, Chicago Golf Club was founded in 1892, debuted the first 18-hole course in the United States in 1893, and became one of five founding member clubs of the USGA in 1894. The storied club was established by Charles Blair Macdonald, who was the first U.S. Amateur champion in 1895 and served as the first vice president of the USGA.

Macdonald also designed the original Chicago Golf Club course, prior to Seth Raynor’s redesign that opened for play in 1923. The course recently underwent a restoration to return the original fairway lines and dimensions of all 128 bunkers on the course, including 13 bunkers that were reinstalled after the club discovered maps that indicated they were part of Raynor’s original layout.

“Hosting the best players in the world – men, women, amateur and professional – for USGA events is a point of pride for our club and a significant part of our long history,” said Herb Getz, Chicago Golf Club president. “We very much look forward to building upon that history and continuing our valued partnership with the USGA on an even larger stage well into the future.”

The venue has staged USGA championships in three centuries – U.S. Open (1897, 1900 and 1911); U.S. Amateur (1897, 1905, 1909 and 1912); U.S. Women’s Amateur (1903); Walker Cup (1928 and 2005); U.S. Senior Amateur (1979) and U.S. Senior Women’s Open (2018). Only six courses have hosted more USGA events than Chicago Golf Club’s 12, and Illinois’ 61 championships are the fifthmost of any state.

USA captain Bob Lewis called the 2005 Walker Cup Match at Chicago Golf Club “the greatest Walker Cup ever played” after the Americans held off Great Britain and Ireland, 12½-11½, to reclaim the Cup after three straight defeats. In 2018, Laura Davies won the inaugural U.S. Senior Women’s Open with a dominant 16-under-par, 10-stroke victory over Juli Inkster at Chicago Golf Club.

“Winning a USGA championship is always special, but winning one at Chicago Golf Club, one of the finest golf courses in the world, makes it even more so, and hoisting a trophy there in 2018 was a highlight of my career,” said Davies, who also won the 1987 U.S. Women’s Open. “Chicago Golf Club is a great test of golf within a supportive golf community. It should make for a fantastic U.S. Women’s Open venue and will certainly crown a worthy champion.”

Earlier this year, Minjee Lee of Australia claimed the 77th U.S. Women’s Open title with a record-setting four-stroke victory at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club in Southern Pines, N.C., joining a Hall-of-Fame group of players who have won both the U.S. Girls’ Junior and U.S. Women’s Open. The championship is open to female professionals and amateurs with a Handicap Index® not exceeding 2.4.

In 2021, the USA claimed its third consecutive victory over Great Britain and Ireland, prevailing by a 14-12 margin in the 48th Walker Cup Match at Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, Fla. Jointly organized by the USGA and The R&A, the Walker Cup Match is a 10-player amateur team competition between the USA and GB&I. Starting in 2026, the match will be held in even-numbered years.

RADMOR Dropping Fall Line with New Styles, Colors and More

Golf hoodie season is officially here for many parts of the country. In other words, it’s prime time to shine for Seattle-based RADMOR Golf. Founded by two college golf teammates in 2021, RADMOR is the first golf lifestyle brand making all its apparel from meticulouslycurated, sustainable materials.

According to Co-Founder Scott Morrison, the full fall line of tops, bottoms, outerwear and accessories will be available midOctober at its website, a growing number of golf shops throughout the U.S., Nordstrom stores nationwide, and affiliate sites like Golf. com, Huckberry.com, TrendyGolf.com, FairwayStyles.com and Saksfifthavenue.com.

“Fall is right in RADMOR’s wheelhouse; it’s a season that sets up perfectly for our approach to creating warm, comfortable and sustainable apparel that looks just as good off the course as on it,” says Morrison, who met his business partner, Bob Conrad, at the University of Washington. “We’re excited about the fall line’s mix of best-sellers and new pieces, but more importantly, to take our commitment to a more sustainable version of golf to the next level.”

RADMOR’s autumn offerings are rich with sepia, earth and powerful blue and red tones to usher in the cooler climes of the fall golf season. Stylistically, RADMOR isn’t deviating from its core ensemble, adds Morrison. For instance, the Peruvian Pima Cotton Taylor PIMAformance Stretch Polo and Colby Stretch Jersey return to action boasting fresh cap, city block and varsity striping. They’re joined by two newcomers, the Douglas PIMAformance YD Stretch Pique Polo and the Hudson Recycled PIMALITE Polo made from an organic “RADCycled” stretch blend.

Morrison and Bob Conrad launched the company in February 2021. The college roommates and golf teammates at the University of Washington first discussed changing the face of golf apparel in the mid-90s, and today that vision is finally a reality. After graduating from the “U-Dub,” Conrad played golf professionally and still maintains a plus handicap. Supplying serious fashion acumen, Morrison helmed three of America’s top denim brands – Paper Denim & Cloth, 3x1 and Earnest Sewn.

The dynamic duo’s passion for the harmonic convergence of fashion and performance is evident in subtle design treatments such as RADMOR’s MORE/EROM (Extended Range of Motion) underarm pattern prominently featured in golf shirts, layering pieces, and outerwear. Functional-yet-fun details like a signature “ball pocket” can also be found on outerwear, pants and shorts. RADMOR is defined by its commitment to using natural fibers and reducing our impact on the environment while producing the highest quality golf apparel possible.

“RADMOR” is a playful blend of Morrison and Conrad’s last names and represents the brand’s dichotomy. Its secondary logo, “BobRad,” is a whimsical cartoon aiming to bring golf to those who find the sport too stuffy. Meanwhile, RADMOR’s “serious golf side” is reflected in its “Dead Center” ball and cup logo that appears throughout most of its collections and appeals to its green grass partners at high-end clubs and resorts.

Back to the fall line, it just wouldn’t be a RADMOR drop without toasty warm, performance-based, all-cotton hoodies and sweatshirts. The ever-popular Higgins Player Hoodie and Perkins Player Crew are spun-up in crisp blue graphite and birch to pair perfectly with a set of Five-O Knit or Vincent pants (as temps drop across most the country) or shorts (for golfers living in milder regions). And for those who prefer a more traditional fall look, there’s the brand-new Colton Cap Stripe Quarter Zip.

RADMOR’s fall Women’s line will also feature an autumninspired mix of its Lauren Bobrad Stretch Polos, Oliva Bobrad Long Sleeve and Sleeveless Jerseys, and Michele Bobrad Stretch Pique Polos. All RADMOR sustainably-sourced golf clothing forgoes virgin polyester in favor of natural cellulose fibers like Peruvian Pima cotton, elastane yarns, and super-soft Tencel to create the most ecominded golf apparel in the industry.
