Grey Oaks Country Club: Pine

Architect Andrew Green has vaulted to the top of the design profession since 2017, primarily through his work renovating and restoring venerable historic courses like Inverness Club, Oak Hill East, Congressional, Scioto, East Lake and Interlachen. But he doesn’t just work on courses from Donald Ross and other classical masters. In 2023 he completed a significant renovation of the Pine Course at Grey Oaks in Naples, a 1993 Clifton-Ezell-Clifton design, one of the club’s three layouts. Every hole was redesigned in some capacity, with greens being shifted, bunkers added or subtracted and short grass chipping areas installed. Once considered the toughest of the Grey Oaks courses, Pine might now be the most flexible and approachable for both low handicap players and high handicap members.
