Overview
Architect Drew Rogers wasn’t familiar with Plum Hollow’s history in 2018 when interviewing to develop a masterplan for the club, and was surprised to learn the 1921 course was designed by C. H. Alison, designer of American classics like Milwaukee Country Club, the first nine holes at Sea Island, Knollwood and Burning Tree. After completing several years of work, Rogers has modified the locations and large scale of the bunkers to reflect Alison's prevailing style (his bunkers were often compared to giant clamshells), removed non-native trees and reoriented fairways and grass lines around the greens.

Review
“Got some fun holes along the creek requiring some thinking off the tee and second shot. Course shows well, greens subtle but off some challenge. Routed well especially for the age."

“Excellent Alison design after a renovation by Drew Rogers. The 13th is the highlight, but the entire back nine is quite well done. The five par fives offer plenty of risk/reward opportunities."

“Nice use of some of the hills and the creek. Good routing and what they have done with the tree removal is really good. Excellent shape."
