REES JONES and DICK WILSON .... My favorites. Any course designed by either of these men should be played A.S.A.P.

DW has long been a favorite of mine. From Doral to Pine Tree to WPBGC to HITW. I've also spent a lot of time at Indian Creek CC in MB, and can see Flynn's influence on him.

This was great thank you!!!

Love that story Bill. Wilson has some stellar tracks that are going on my bucket list.

Mystery Valley near Stone Mountain GA has been one of my favorites, haven't played it n years, need to get back.

Local legend in Fort Worth was that Ben Hogan brought in Dick Wilson in the late 50's or early 60's to flatten some of the greens at Colonial Country Club, which at the time had some Maxwell rolls that Hogan didn't like. Don't know if that is true, but it's a good story if it is (and I think I heard that from Dan Jenkins).

Thanks for the piece, Brad.

I've had a chance to play a small handful of Dick Wilson courses and have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge they pose. Pine Tree Golf Club, in Boynton Beach, FL, is superb and I'm a big fan of Wilson's Mountain View Course at Callaway Gardens Resort in Georgia as well. Both courses are full and fun tests of ball-striking, as well as bunker play. You can score if you stripe it, but if not, you'd better have an adaptable short game. Would love to see NCR and Meadow Brook someday, as well as Deepdale on Long Island and Bidermann in Delaware.

Never knew much about Wilson, except that his name was on lots of courses, especially in Florida and the East Coast. Some good insight there, Brad.

Wilson also did Laurel Valley, Palmer ruined 18th hole there
