The Golf Club 2 - The National Golf Links of America (RCR Course Record)

The course was designed by Charles B. Macdonald, who had been schooled at St. Andrews in Scotland during the 1870s. Macdonald had been paired with John Shippen, an African American in the 1896 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills. Following the event, he quit Shinnecock and founded the new club.[4] He set out to design a course that would rival the prominent golf courses located abroad, looking at potential sites in Cape Cod and Napeague before settling on a plot of land on Sebonac Neck next to Peconic Bay.[5] The course was constructed adjacent to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, and now also borders Sebonack Golf Club, which opened in 2006.[6] Construction of the golf course was supervised by Seth Raynor, a local civil engineer from Long Island who went on to design several golf courses of his own, including the Fishers Island Club.[7] Jarvis Hunt designed the club house that overlooks Peconic Bay When it opened in 1911, the course was called the National Golf Links of America because its 67 founding members, which included Robert Bacon, George W. Baxter, Urban H. Broughton, Charles Deering, James Deering, Findlay S. Douglas, Henry Clay Frick, Elbert Henry Gary, Clarence Mackay, De Lancey Nicoll, James A. Stillman, Walter Travis, and William Kissam Vanderbilt II, resided in various parts of the United States.[8] The clubhouse was designed by Jarvis Hunt, one of the club's founding members.[9][10] James Hepburn—one of the founding members of the PGA of America—served as one of the early head professionals, working at the club from 1914 until 1928.[11] The National Golf Links of America was selected as the host of the 2013 Walker Cup in September 2008.[12] In 2009, "The National" was ranked 15th in Golf Digest's list of America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses.[13] The current head golf professional is Jim Morris. On April 18th, 2018 the right wing of the building caught fire, but was extinguished by local fire departments causing minimal damage to the exterior.
