The great undulating greens of the Half Moon Course, challenging drives and breathtaking vistas are all typical of a Trent Jones Sr design.

Recently renovated by architect Roger Rulewich, protégé to Jones, the course features newly aligned, multiple tee complexes as well as repositioned fairway and greenside bunkers.

The greens demand special attention: while they are very playable, their shape and contour often force the better golfer to work the ball to get their approaches close to tucked pins, while leaving an opening for the novice player to run the ball in.

That was one of Jones’ greatest talents – designing a course balanced enough to challenge the best in the world, yet playable for resort golfers.
