30. PEACHTREE GOLF CLUB
Robert Trent Jones & Bobby Jones (1947); Joe Finger (R. 1973)/Bob Cupp (R. 2005)The design collaboration by amateur star Bobby Jones and golf architect Robert... Trent Jones (no relation) was meant to recapture the magic that the Grand Slam winner had experienced when he teamed with Alister Mackenzie in the design of Augusta National. But Trent was an even more forceful personality than the flamboyant Mackenzie, so Peachtree reflects far more of Trent’s notions of golf than Bobby’s, particularly in designing for future equipment advances. When it opened, Peachtree measured in excess of 7, 200 yards, extremely long for that era. It boasted the longest set of tees in America (to provide flexibility on holes) and the country’s most enormous greens (to spread out wear and tear). As it turns out, Trent was a visionary, and decades later other designers followed his lead to address advances in club and ball technology.100 Greatest History: Ranked since 1966. Highest ranking: No. 16, 1991-92. Previous ranking: No. 33
