Over the years, the vision for a more sophisticated course grew, and in 1947, renowned course architect Albert Murray was commissioned to design the now-celebrated 18-hole layout.
His thoughtful design incorporated the natural contours of the landscape, resulting in a course that blends seamlessly with the surrounding beauty.
