The Architect

Donald J. Ross
1872-1948


Biography by Bradley S. Klein

“Transplanted Scotsman Donald Ross transformed the American sports landscape in the first half of this century. At his death in 1948, he left behind a legacy of 413 courses, including such gems as Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina, Seminole in Florida, and the site of the 1996 U.S. Open, Oakland Hills outside Detroit. Over 100 U.S. national championships have been played on his designs.”

Shadow Ridge truly is a diamond in the rough and we are incredibly blessed to have this small piece of golf history right here in Western Michigan.
