The Golf Club
About the club
The Golf Club, built in 1966, may be the most authentic of Pete Dye’s transition period of design, when he first chose to buck convention and start building lay-of-the-land layouts like those he’d seen during a 1963 tour of Scotland. In doing so, Dye reintroduced deception, misdirection and railroad ties into American golf architecture. Its construction attracted the attention of local boy Jack Nicklaus, who visited several times and made some astute suggestions. That led to a five-year Dye-Nicklaus design partnership. The Golf Club remained untouched for nearly 45 years, until Pete Dye returned in 2014 to rebuild holes, modestly adjusting some of his original green contours to better match present-day green speeds. He also relocated the fifth green, adding a contorted putting surface more reminiscent of his later designs, an inconspicuous reminder of how much his design predilections evolved throughout his career.

This is probably The Most Exclusive Private Golf Course and Country Club, in The World. About 40 Members of The Columbus Country Club, located on Columbus' East Side; decided They had, had enough, of Women Golfers, etc.; playing at The Country Club; and decided to build their own golf course, in The northeastern part of Franklin County. They "pooled" their money, and hired Golf Course Architect Pete Dye, to build That Course. They simply called it, "The Golf Club", as no other name was really necessary. To play The Course, You must either be, a founding member, a descendant, of one of the founders (I'm speculating, here), or a Guest of a Member; no one else, is allowed. I have My Own Opinion, about this, but will keep it, to myself; however, it is not, a good opinion.
