Southampton Golf Club

At the suggestion of Bill Coore, the Club hired Golf Course architect Brian Silva to prepare a Master Plan to return our course back to the design themes of Seth Raynor. Brian Silva had extensive experience with golf course design and the restoration of classic courses designed by the likes of Seth Raynor and Donald Ross. With the assistance of many aerial course photos dating back to 1938, the first edition of the Master Plan was presented in 2004 and adopted by the Club. The work largely consisted of removing excess soil, installing Raynor style bunkers and creating mounds with the soil generated from the project. Many greens were enlarged and squared up where appropriate in the Raynor fashion. New irrigation was installed around each green. The work was completed around the end of November 2010. In 2025, Southampton Golf Club will be celebrating its 100-year anniversary.
