The Donald Ross Society List of Golf Courses
Designed by Donald J. Ross The following list of the golf courses designed by Donald J. Ross originally was started in 1986 by the
late W. Pete Jones, a fan of Donald Ross and a historian at heart. The original list was taken from the
pages of The Architects of Golf by Ron Whitten and Geoffrey Cornish. The Ross courses on that list
were contacted by Pete and surveyed as to their Ross heritage and supporting documents. The
Donald Ross Society was created in 1989 and Pete became the Historian of the Society. He was
joined by one of the Founders of the Society, Mike Fay, in further clarifying the list.
Over the next ten years many additions and deletions were made. All of the materials that were used
in determining the provenance of these courses are kept at the Tufts Archives in Pinehurst, North
Carolina, where the papers of Donald Ross reside. Pete Jones died in 1998, and the work on the list
continued with the assistance of Archivist Khristine Janizuk and Mike Fay. The late Gery Krewson with
input from Mike Fay and others, further refined the list for inclusion in Bradley Klein’s book
“Discovering Donald Ross”, published in 2001.
Audrey Moriarty became the Archivist in 2002 and did the yeoman job of organizing the papers of
Ross, Pete Jones, and the many documents that were collected by Mike Fay. She was greatly aided
by an Archives volunteer, John Root, who organized the scanning of all the documents and
computerized all the raw data. In 2007, Jan Ludwig, a retired professor, became involved and did
considerable research in further refinement of the list. Work continues on the list with Audrey, John,
Jan, and Mike seeking and gathering further information.
This list is a best faith effort. Those involved in the creation and refinement of the list are well aware
that there is the distinct possibility that there are some errors. They welcome new information that will
make the list more accurate. If you have documentation that differs with what has been published
please contact the Tufts Archives at [email protected]

About The Tufts Archives, the Pinehurst History Museum in Pinehurst, North Carolina
The Tufts Archives is a non-profit organization that preserves and displays the unique history of Pinehurst, North Carolina, from its founding in 1895 to the present. The archives, located in a wing of the Given Memorial Library on the Village Green in Pinehurst, was built in 1975. Its creation was spurred by Richard S.Tufts, grandson of the founder of the village, James Walker Tufts. Richard Tufts and other family members created the Tufts Foundation, which provided the funding for the archives, and a small endowment. The archives operates through the generous donations of our patrons, the sale of images and graphics, and specific fundraisers; and is open to the public, researchers, media and scholars free of charge.
The Tufts Archives exhibits photographs, documents, maps and artifacts from the Tufts family and the people who visited, worked and lived in Pinehurst. Included are James W. Tufts’ marble and silver 19th century Artic Soda Fountain machine and items from the Tufts Silverplate business. Sales from the designs and patents for the soda machines and the company James Tufts founded, the American Soda Fountain Company, provided the fortune that made Pinehurst possible.
No history of Pinehurst is complete without the story of Donald Ross. Tufts Archives has many of the original golf course plans of Ross, the famed Scottish-born golf course designer. Donald Ross was credited with designing or revising approximately 400 courses, including internationally acclaimed Pinehurst No.2. He lived and worked in the village every season, and later in life year- round, from 1900 until his death in 1948. The Tufts Archives is the repository for the original plans, field notes and drawings, and course layouts for many Ross-designed courses.
The Tufts Archives has more than 80,000 negatives from the John Hemmer collection. Hemmer was the official resort photographer for more than four decades from the late 1920s. His photos promoted Pinehurst on the front, sports and society pages of newspapers across the country. The maps at the archives include the original drawing for the layout of Pinehurst, created by Frederick Law Olmsted of the firm of Olmsted, Olmsted & Elliot, who designed Central Park in New York, and the Emerald Necklace in Boston among others. Photographs and plans for some of the original village cottages and buildings are also available.
