A Tribute to Classic Golf Architecture

Designed by Brian Curley of Schmidt-Curley Design, The Vintage is patterned after iconic courses such as the National Golf Links, Fishers Island, Maidstone, Chicago Golf Club, and Garden City. The course artfully combines:

• Respect for the natural terrain with careful routing through a heavily wooded site
• Unique geometric shapes and quirky features reminiscent of old-school craftsmanship
• Abrupt mounds, deep pot bunkers, square edges, ridges, and blind shots that challenge your strategy
• Long, thin bunkers framing both small and expansive greens
• Traditional wicker basket pins adding authentic vintage flair

This design philosophy creates an experience far removed from today’s cookie-cutter courses, offering a rare glimpse into golf’s storied past.
