We present the Restoration of Donald Ross's Scioto Country Club with golf architect Andrew Green.

We sat down with golf course architect Andrew Green to discuss his recent restoration of Donald Ross's Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio. Famous for being the childhood home course of Jack Nicklaus, it was also the site of the 1931 Ryder Cup and Bobby Jones's 1926 U.S. Open victory. A Dick Wilson 'renovation' in the 1960s moved the course away from its unique Ross design. Green's restoration has brought back Ross's complex green shapes and above-ground features laid cleverly across a piece of rolling terrain.
A huge thanks to Andrew Green and Scioto Country Club for historical and on-site construction photos.

Love these videos. Andrew did an amazing job

@evanlazar91 Год назад

What a video. And what a redesign. The 8th whole is so unique.

@SpudRunGolf Год назад

I’m hoping to have a chance to play there this summer.

@MrJackson9397 Год назад

Great work Andrew. A great dive into the history of the course, what makes and made it special. A true restoration that honours original ideals. Bring back the width and run on I say

@lukebergen7044 Год назад

Wow, very cool. Loved hearing about the ideas and inspiration behind this resto.

@kevindick1110 Год назад

Played it twice. Speaking for myself, it literally was an eerie experience in that I could see Jack hitting shots on every hole. Just a magnificent place.

@josephkim6678 Год назад

I caddied there in the ‘80s and wasn’t aware that it had been changed so significantly from the original Ross design. And didn’t appreciate how special it was to play there every Wednesday in the summers.

@brendanaumann6003 Год назад

This is so well spoken & documented. All the editing work that went into this one was well worth it, great video!

@Chris-0703 Год назад

Nicklaus’ golf design company is hot garbage

@Chea Год назад

And we'll never get to play it.

@Weshopwizard Год назад

Life ain’t fair. There are thousands of great courses you can play. It’s expensive but go to Bandon. It’ll reinvigorate your love of the game.

@Chea Год назад

@@Weshopwizard it’s almost impossible to find availability for 3 nights there. I’m on the to call list for 2025.

@damodoc Год назад

Looks like a completely unsustainable design

@Weshopwizard Год назад

How so?

@brendannell5930 Год назад

What do you mean by "unsustainable"?

@spellingchampeon Год назад

This is awesome. Renovation is not only much much better, but just flat out looks fantastic and fun to play

@joellahrman4557 Год назад

Wow. I worked in the bag shop at Scioto for a few years while I was a student at Ohio State back in the mid-1990s (and of course played as much as I could in the evenings). These are some dramatic changes to the greensites, I have trouble recognizing the holes unless the view pans back.

@derekjancart215 Год назад

This course is CHERISHED to be able to play here in Columbus. Next to Memorial this is probably the next most sought after round.

@kevindick1110 Год назад

The Golf Club in New Albany is right there as well. Only played it once and that's from knowing PB Dye out at Urbana CC. Crazy hard course.

@Firehead171717 Год назад

@@kevindick1110 I got to intern at The Golf Club this past summer and that place is unbelievably special. There's a large group of members at TGC who are also members at Scioto, and the way they talked about it made it seem otherworldly. Haven't got to play out there yet, but definitely jumping on the first opportunity to get out there.

@joshreedy222 Год назад

@@kevindick1110 Hey guys, I've been an avid golfer and lover of the game my whole life, and also a Columbus resident for the past ~10 years. It's been an absolute dream of mine to get to play either Scioto and/or TGC even before I lived here (born and raised in Piqua, OH). It sounds like you both have some experience at these beloved, beautiful courses that we are so lucky to have here locally, so I'm just curious - is there anything I can possibly do to heighten by slim chances of getting onto either of these bucket list courses? Besides the obvious solutions of either becoming a member (something I can't begin to afford at the moment, but we're working hard on that!), or by knowing and being invited by a current member - is there some sort of local waiting list or public access opportunities at either of these places? Thanks guys and again, any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Amazing video, I’d be curious if you could do a similar video about the Raynor in MN, Midland Hills. Here’s to hoping! Keep up the good work team.

@tomfagerli1980 Год назад

This may be the best looking Donald Ross course anywhere. So unique. Not that rankings matter, but Scioto is top ten.

What a great video - jealous of people who get to play here every day…

After photos last year I hoped an event would be here this year...hopefully next 😁

Consider your club blessed if Andrew Green comes to restore it. He is a genius! Can't wait to show the world next week at the PGA, how he restored our club, Oak Hill, to it's original beauty.

I need to look like I can play courses like this, where do I get that sweater 😂

@LegolasFan69 Год назад

Architects have an exceptional hubris… in 25 years the next architect will say the same thing about how he brought it back to a true Donald Ross and the last architect was a bum. Like Ross is waiting at the pearly gates to thank these guys 😂
