Course Architecture

A renovated layout, true to the original design.

Bigwood has been here since 1971, originally designed by Robert Muir Graves. In fall 2024, golf course architect David Druzisky led a renovation that stayed true to that original spirit while reimagining the course with stronger character and a layout more in keeping with the native landscape — new greens, rebuilt bunkering, a fully replaced irrigation system, and re-numbered holes that now finish at the clubhouse.
