A few more from the weekend of the Dutch Wessner Invitational at Woods Hole.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy playing golf on this course. Every hole offers strategic options and compelling shots. The setting is gorgeous. It’s a wonderful place.
Kyle Franz has truly elevated Woods Hole from a damn good local design to a must play classic gem.
Every course has a role to play to ensure the game is environmentally sustainable.
Pine Needles' two-year restoration enhanced Donald Ross' original vision while making a commitment to the environment.
The fourth @uswomensopen for the 1928 Donald Ross-designed course @PineNeedlesGolf in less than a month. But the first with virtually no rough on the golf course. The story of how @KyleFranzGolf took The Needles back to its roots.

@MarkNelsenKPTV The winter/spring of 92-93 followed by what was dubbed "The Bummer Summer". Like 7 snowstorms in the south/central valley. Just under that in PDX. Sandwiched by record heatwave in least useful place -- Feb. Here's to no-repeat. Too many good OSU/Oregon baseball games coming up!
It’s very cool that CC of Charleston let @KyleFranzGolf restore their Alps feature (big mount in front) on the 10th hole. The hole went from one of the least thought provoking to one of the most. Approaches from the left are blind now while the right side offers a glimpse.
An amazing transformation by renowned golf course architect, @KyleFranzGolf, Southern Pines Golf Club has completed a full restoration of this original Donald Ross design. This course is a must-play when visiting the #homeofamericangolf@PineNeedlesGolf

Progress photos from the second half of the sprigged greens at Southern Pines Golf Club, holes 1-5 and 15-18.
Everything is shaping up for our September 1st grand opening.
Southern Pines is as North Carolina golf as it gets. This 1906 Donald Ross track has all the bones of a classic Ross course.
It's currently undergoing a hole-by-hole Kyle Franz restoration, so @RiggsBarstool caught the 18th hole in the nick of time. @whoop

I have never played Southern Pines but my walk left me thinking more about its history, the questions the course asks from the golfer, what Ross must have thought of this property and the amazing efforts of Kyle and his team have taken to restore this gem.

Impressive work by @KyleFranzGolf at Raleigh Country Club, 1948 Donald Ross design. Restoration opens to member play Nov. 6. Job included new irrigation, enlarged greens, some new tees (extending to 7,400 yards), new bunkers for greater visuals and drainage. @McConnellGolf
