Tanglewood Park Golf: Championship

Originally opened in 1958 and designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., Tanglewood Park’s Championship course has hosted a PGA Championship, a U.S. Amateur Public Links and a PGA Tour Champions event. In the 1974 PGA Championship at Tanglewood Park, Lee Trevino edged Jack Nicklaus by a shot, while 62-year-old Sam Snead finished tied for third. A dozen years later, Billy Mayfair captured the 1986 U.S. Amateur Public Links at Tanglewood Park. More recently in 2018, Robert Trent Jones Jr. led a restoration of the Championship layout, repositioning bunkers and converting the greens to Bermuda grass.
