KNOW THE COURSE

What to know

Identity and design

Willie Park Junior's Old Course opened in 1901. Harry Colt later altered several greens. Heather, gorse and pines frame a course with large, undulating putting surfaces.

Playing character and defining features

Cross-bunkers, ditches and heather banks create angled hazards. The greens' slopes make the approach position an important part of the test.
