JDR Shines up Ross' Kenosha CC
Rogers' renovation work at Kenosha Country Club in Wisconsin enters a tenth year as he continues to lead a vision to reengage the original 1922 details employed by architect Donald Ross and his foreman, Walter Hatch.
To line, or not to line bunkers?
JDR sat down with Golf Digest's Derek Duncan recently. The topic? Bunker liners. Are they worth the investment? Drew sheds light on the technology of liners and their broad spectrum of values and benefits.
JDR Serving up Lemon Aid
Rarely has JDR worked with a client where there has been so much support, excitement and ground swell anticipation for a golf course renovation. But our recently completed work at Lemon Bay Golf Club may very well be among our most transformative architectural work.
Site Prep Key to Knollwood Renovation
The on-going renovation of C.H. Alison's Knollwood Club in Chicago is a product of precise site planning, patience and perseverance.
JDR's "Must Know" Golf Courses
GCA recently asked Drew to create his "Top 10" golf courses. Not one for making lists of this sort, he took a slightly different route. Rather than than developing another "run-of-the-mill" top ten list, these ten courses have inspired his work or his thinking throughout his career... or were particularly fun experiences. Eclectic? Quirky? Absolutely, but this list is sure to be unlike any other!
JDR Primed to Guide Wisconsin's "Sleeper" - Pine Hills
