This course opened with nine holes in 1909; the second nine debuted in 1985. Among the more recent changes are that the 517-yard par-5 4th hole has been changed to a dog-leg by selective tree-planting. Many new bunkers have recently been added and the course lengthened. A new pond or water retention area has also been constructed in front of the 6th tee. The signature hole here is #12, with a green located in Clashach Cove, over 150 feet below the tee.
