In the years since its opening, the Founders Course has been tapped with several awards of distinction. Among our proudest accomplishments is the hosting of The Bruno’s Memorial Classic. Past Champion Larry Nelson describes our tournament as “…the Masters of the Senior PGA Tour.” Jay Sigel added, “When someone is considering hosting a Senior Tour Event, they must first come to Greystone to see how it is done.”
The Founders Course, with its undulating greens and expansive fairways, is a course that demands solid ball striking and a deft touch on the greens. The back nine offers a unique layout of three par-3, three par-4 and three par-5 holes that give players an opportunity to make some great scores.
The 18th is a classic example of a risk-reward hole. Three well-played shots will give a player a good chance at par, but if a better score is needed, a more risky shot will be needed and danger looms for any miss.
s its name implies, The Legacy Course builds on its revered predecessor's strengths, heightening the challenge to players. Carved naturally from a visually dramatic landscape of placid lakes, meandering streams and undulation Appalachian hills, The Legacy requires unwavering physical and mental acumen.
Each hole is an inviting yet demanding contest, allowing the player to visualize the shot. The par-4 ninth hole will instill a healthy respect in even the most stalwart competitors. The green beckons a full 450 yards from the tournament tee, with the lure of several bunkers and a winding stream distracting one's attention. Surmounting these challenges may be achieved with accurate drives, but arriving at the green presents a final skills test. The slope and contour of the putting surface require absolute finesse. Another worthy challenge is the par-5 eighteenth hole. Reminiscent of the esteemed sixth hole at Congressional Country Club -- also a Rees Jones project -- this 540-yard nemesis takes the player through the saddle of a ridge and downhill to an enticing green protected by a lake. The finishing hole provides a real risk-reward test for those who brazenly attempt to reach the green in two shots.
Designed to accommodate both member and PGA tournament play, The Legacy is destined to become a heavyweight among championship courses.
