Myers Park Country Club is one of the oldest and most prestigious clubs in the city. Designed by Donald Ross, Myers Park is a wonderful site with rolling hills, gentle elevation changes, huge hardwoods and great topographical variety. The housing in the area is older with new renovations to existing homes, and just minutes from downtown and South Park. Bobby Weed made great use of the land in expanding the course. Tees were squared and expanded and the fairway bunkering that was rebuilt and, in some cases added, is quite authentic. The placement of a couple of cross-bunkers on the backside is perfect and the expanded greens created many more pinning positions. In an effort to accommodate more play some of the greens grew larger than those originally laid out by Ross. A couple of shorter par five holes and at least one par four have greens much larger than Ross would normally have designed. The greens are interesting and challenging and like the original course they are close to the next tee. The course has a wonderful flow and a theme that is quite reminiscent of Ross, which continues from the first tee to the 18th green. 18 hole, 6535 yards, Par 72
